just got mine. It went on sale for Christmas. 99 bucks with boost package. waiting for batteries to fully charge, but short flight already has me loving it for what it is.
In case you ever revisit the review of this little drone you should try the third party apps now available and a wifi extender. That makes a completely new drone: Tons of features, gamepad support, way less frame drops, huge range improvement, GPS like autopilots including RTH just based on the downfacing camera. I was so amazed I did my first video (in awful quality) just to showcase this function: automatic RTH from 140m distance in very strong winds. You can find it on my "channel" (well I don't have a real channel, only this shaky video)
When I connected the drone Wi-Fi to my phone, it showed that it was connected on my phone. However, the drone was still blinking yellow and did not take off once I slided the take of button on my phone. It was fully charged overnight and my phone was also realllly close to it. What could I try to make it connect? Edit: I found out the app had a bug I reinstalled it it was working!
Great review! I have been in email contact with RYZE customer support on another topic - when are they coming out with a adjustable camera (manual rotate up & down )? The $49 knock off brands have this type of camera lens. For me, I like that feature. RYZE C.S. was very quick in response and took interest in my question. Their price point, features and easy replacement parts need to be refined as the Drone/Quad market is on a ever changing & updating world.
I love the Tello I just got it the other day I was shocked with the power it puts out and the camera footage is pretty impressive it’s a great done for under $100 for someone wanting something to mess around with or getting into flying drones
I've had the small parrot drones before. That's actually what got me into the hobby because the little one was so much fun! That being said, however... I hate taking photos of myself so a drone built specifically for that is not for me =P This one does actually look really cool though.. maybe my fiance would like one =P
Two subjects that need to be covered for beginners. 1) how to setup Wifi. Not just mention it. 2) how to use the Tello App controller. I see your simulated joy sticks with left right and up and down arrows. Do we move the center buttons toward the arrows?
heatwave fella ... I bought this for my nephew and he doesn't want ... I have it back and I am having good pics plus great up air shots thanks for review
Fantastic video! Its really wonderful, just two questions, I'm totally new to this flying bizz... So what happens if it's flying away and goes out of range and if I didn't notice the warning sign, does it still go away forever lost? Also what about wind resistance? If it's a windy day will the wind take it away? And also I'm assuming the videos photos save to the phone right ? Thanks so much ! Love your videos!
Thanks for your comment Alisha! The Tello once out of range will detect that it has lost WiFi and will slowly descend to the ground. It was quite windy on the day that I tested it and yet as you can see it remains in positiion so no big worry. Yes the video save direct to the phone.
Great video. Been looking for a practical drone for fishing trips on the canoe, no too expensive in case it goes for a swim and small and light to pack away easily, and possibly recharge from a battery pack. This looks like the one I've been waiting for. Thanks for the review Ash
Just a follow up for viewers. Got the tello, had g8 fun with it. Spend alot of time around water. Hit a branch, fell into my local river. After about 5mins to 10mins in muddy water, managed to find it, fish it out. Removed battery. 3 days drying in the sun and it fired it up, no problem. No issues.
Also keep in mind that it will land automatically if WiFi connection is lost for over 15 seconds or so. Safety feature that may kill it when flying over water or other hard to reach places.
Wonderful review, flight time as i read was around 13 min, was it so? If this so. It so much longer than other small drone in the market esp Parrot mini drone
Thanks for the comment, yeah the flight time was really impressive, it was over 10 minutes as you can see from the flight test, for a tiny drone I was really surprised!
Great video. Thank you. I have one of these. It’s brilliant. I’ve also got a madcatz controller (works great) and a Keplar VR headset. I’ve also added another battery and a three port charger which is a must really because you have to charge in the Tello otherwise. I now so want a Spark ♥️
Good couple of reviews on this neat, little drone Ash. I think I'll wait for the second iteration though and hopefully it will be compatible with existing RC controllers, as I detest smartphone control, and a micro SD card to make better use of the camera's optics.
Yeah good plan, this is very much a beginner's drone, so some that already flies it'll be a bit too basic perhaps, but it's still fun and great for kids to learn!
Basically a scam by a DJInadfilite called HandyDrones, they've been doing it for almost a year now, setting up a Google Sites URL which redirects to their DJI affiliate link. Sneaky bastards, I'll get their account suspended.
Haha it's a great drone but they're very different, the E58 is for fun and full manual control via transmitter whereas Tello is more of an autonomous drone, controlled primarily by smartphone.
You can buy a wifi repeater for 8€ , connect it to a power bank and it improves the range so so much. You go to 30m high and the wifi signal is full. Also it goes to 200m far. Just invest the 8€ and have sooooo much more fun with it. 👍👍👍👍👍😊
But really, what do you expect for a drone that weighs barely more than a piece of toilet paper :) lightweight drones of course don't like wind, that's quite obvious. Thanks for your comment, regardless.
Sorry, wenn Sie um Kindern suchen, dann kennen Sie Talente Kindern.......? Schieben Sie an Talente Erwachsen......Total Irgendwo & Irgendswer nehm die Verantwortung......
Take a look at the TELLO pricing now: store.dji.com/product/tello?as=0003&from=dap_unique&pbc=FwBaHO2T
Its not expensive, for what it is!
just got mine. It went on sale for Christmas. 99 bucks with boost package. waiting for batteries to fully charge, but short flight already has me loving it for what it is.
Just had my first flight with my new Tello! I’m loving it!

The still footage was good, but can you flip the drone to shoot vertically?
I've had the small parrot drones before. That's actually what got me into the hobby because the little one was so much fun! That being said, however... I hate taking photos of myself so a drone built specifically for that is not for me =P This one does actually look really cool though.. maybe my fiance would like one =P
My son has a Tello and loves it.
Great video I subscribed and smashed the like button 👍
Thanks Montana!!
If you are wondering it is 13 per battery, it includes 3 battery you can use that you can charge att same time
Two subjects that need to be covered for beginners. 1) how to setup Wifi. Not just mention it. 2) how to use the Tello App controller. I see your simulated joy sticks with left right and up and down arrows. Do we move the center buttons toward the arrows?
Max altitude and and max range? Without any extender ? ) Please advise.
heatwave fella ... I bought this for my nephew and he doesn't want ... I have it back and I am having good pics plus great up air shots thanks for review
What nephew on the planet wouldn’t want a drone?? 😂
Thanks Ash I’ve got my nephew one for Christmas, will show him your videos 👍

My telllo was at the 99yds range and i lost control fast, had to run towards it quickly to regain controls.
I enjoy my little Tello so much, you have to do any flips before you are down to half battery life left
Nice flight test!! Its a cool little drone!! 👍😀👍
Great video. Been looking for a practical drone for fishing trips on the canoe, no too expensive in case it goes for a swim and small and light to pack away easily, and possibly recharge from a battery pack. This looks like the one I've been waiting for. Thanks for the review Ash
Pleasure and glad that you enjoyed it, look out for a special bonus video tonight involving the Tello!
Just a follow up for viewers. Got the tello, had g8 fun with it. Spend alot of time around water. Hit a branch, fell into my local river. After about 5mins to 10mins in muddy water, managed to find it, fish it out. Removed battery. 3 days drying in the sun and it fired it up, no problem. No issues.
Whaaaaat^^^^^ good job.

My mother brought me one of does and I love it very much
Thaks for sharing this video even i have my new mavic air 2 i still love my tello
Great video. Thank you.
I have one of these. It’s brilliant. I’ve also got a madcatz controller (works great) and a Keplar VR headset.
I’ve also added another battery and a three port charger which is a must really because you have to charge in the Tello otherwise.
I now so want a Spark ♥️
You can change altitude to 30m when connected
How
Altitude hold by the Ultrasonic sensors
DroningOn Actually the Tello Fly's at a max altitude of 30.0m at an max altitude u may need an xiaomi wifi repeater 2 for an greater experience
Can i use my ipad tablet as a controller for a bigger screen? I’d love to purchase one.
Great video buddy.bit rainy today in Grimsby chucking down were that sun gone
Lol, it's always raining in Grimsby isn't it? 😆😆
DroningON your not kidding mate.cold windy ore wet.lol
Have one love it!
Great review Ash

Whoa! What was the scam Ash? Getting cents for clicks or something? I noticed it was a new empty account; I should have known better.
Basically a scam by a DJInadfilite called HandyDrones, they've been doing it for almost a year now, setting up a Google Sites URL which redirects to their DJI affiliate link. Sneaky bastards, I'll get their account suspended.
Great stuff! I'm confident DJI will clip their wings. Slimy gits.
DJI just replied to confirm that they're contacted this scammer and will deal with it.
tello or bugs 7 ?
I am now looking forward to tello than eachine e58
Haha it's a great drone but they're very different, the E58 is for fun and full manual control via transmitter whereas Tello is more of an autonomous drone, controlled primarily by smartphone.
Great review!
So much vids excusing about a windy day, My tip: try to fly on a day that isn`t windy :D
When you receive a variety of quads and start to stockpile, you have to get out and test them!! Unfortunately we live in the UK, its always windy!
DroningON & Cold & Rainy don’t forget... 😭😭😭
It will climb to 99 feet. The altitude is increased in the settings
My DJI TELLO flew to 18 meters in the uk
nice video! i will get one after this lock down,
Good choice!
Hi there,
What's the bitrate for?
Thanks..
Bitrate is the amount of data used to create the image, the higher the bitrate the better the image quality.
Is frame skip affect video recording?
Nice bro
You can buy a wifi repeater for 8€ , connect it to a power bank and it improves the range so so much. You go to 30m high and the wifi signal is full. Also it goes to 200m far. Just invest the 8€ and have sooooo much more fun with it. 👍👍👍👍👍😊
Very true! Thanks for the comment!
Looks fun but video is shockingly bad. How are the still photos?
Not bad but its a low resolution camera and its cheap.
Nice
thats a cool drone❤❤
How do I get 4:2 acpect ratio on photo
Only controllable in windless conditions.
Consider yourself informed.
But really, what do you expect for a drone that weighs barely more than a piece of toilet paper :) lightweight drones of course don't like wind, that's quite obvious. Thanks for your comment, regardless.
can we connect these to computer with windows 10 and operate?
Unfortunately not, maybe for the next version!
Good reviews
Many thanks! Be sure to subscribe!
@@Droning-ON will you recommend me to buy used one??? Just for fun
Pre flight First take off prop guards
Yes definitely, but not for the amateur/beginner operator.
In South Africa we always moan about days like that,warm and everything and then we get like 20 degrees celcius and were happy that its cold😂😂
try Port Elizabeth whenever its hot, the wind creeps up and blows hard😃
How much is the charging time? I just got one yesterday
About an hour.
DroningON Ok what Colour does it go? Once fully recharged? Or does The Blue Flashing Light while Recharging it go fully out? 😱😱😱
Great review!#😊 check out my vid; Chameleon build maiden flight #
Thanks mate, will do!
It has dji parts in it :)
Indeed it does, and DJI software.
@@Droning-ON I have found some online tutorials in which they tell you how to make your own programs on blocks or code
Correct, that's why educational institutions like schools are starting to love Tello, they can program with it!
It's my understanding DJI only sells this drone. They don't make it. True?
Correct, Ryze manufacture of and use DJI flight controller elements
How many people who had a tello have now lost it lol
You just earned a subscriber!! party pls :)
Haha thanks!
Sorry, wenn Sie um Kindern suchen, dann kennen Sie Talente Kindern.......? Schieben Sie an Talente Erwachsen......Total Irgendwo & Irgendswer nehm die Verantwortung......
I have a Tello you can use the bounce mode with your arms and feet
Have one love it!
