So dji mini or potensic atom for a beginner

I have a limited budget of about £400 and I’m looking for a beginner drone for holiday videos and some fun.

I’ve been considering a DJI Mini 2 SE, Mini 3, or Mini 3 Pro, depending on whether I buy new, reconditioned, or on eBay. However, I’ve recently heard good things about the Potensic Atom, which is currently available on Amazon as a Fly More pack for £329. So, I have a few questions:

  1. Are Potensic drones worth considering, and are they becoming more popular?
  2. Does Potensic offer an insurance package similar to DJI Care Refresh?
  3. What should I look out for when buying a drone on eBay?
  4. What are the key differences between the DJI Mini 2 SE, Mini 3, and Mini 3 Pro? Is it mainly the camera, or do they have different in-flight programs?
  5. Any other friendly and constructive advice?

I haven’t really interacted with the Atom.
It looks like it is inferior to the DJI, don’t think you can get a better camera than the DJI for a measly $329. Also, I think the DJI is far more popular which can be a good thing if you encounter problems since someone somewhere would know how to resolve it

I headed to Best Buy and got a Dji Mini 3 because they were having a nice offer after purchasing a Potensic on Friday and returning it to Amazon on Saturday.
Thrilled beyond measure. It’s actually possible if the wind would just quit.
