1.Great quadcopter! Unmatched stability, sturdy and a decent camera for your photography needs.
2. Always get used to the controls while flying it indoors before you take it for an outdoor flight, gets difficult to control it if a strong gush of wind appears.
3. I lost my tello within the first hour of using it, luckily after 25 days and incessant rains, i found it hanging on a tree and it still flies perfectly! Once again, fly it in an open space/ ground where you can retrieve it if lost!

Ok, this is not a drone for flying high or far. It can easily get carried away in a stiff breeze.
That’s just the physics of flying a 90 gram drone. It’s your fault if it gets blown away.
So why 5 stars?
It is very stable, very maneuverable, has a decent enough camera, can survive crashes even if you don’t put on the propeller guards,does tricks, is programmable, and it’s really easy to fly.
You can fly it indoors without knocking things over – be warned, though, it will scare the daylights out of your cat.
You can fly it outdoors if the weather is ok – no wind, rain, snow, fog, etc.
It’s also great for learning basic drone controls.
The video can be a bit shaky, especial outdoors when it fights with the wind – the camera doesn’t pivot, so you do see some jelly-like movement as the camera tries to stabilize the video.
The biggest problem with the Tello? I wound up buying a Mavic Mini Fly More Combo because the Tello was so much fun that I wanted to be able to do even more.
An update: I bring the Tello along with me when I’m flying my bigger drones (Mavic Mini, Mavic Pro and Inspire Pro). If people are curious about the bigger drones, I can – safely – show them up close how a drone works. Plus, unlike it’s bigger siblings, the Tello can do flips. 🙂

Over the past few years, I’ve wanted to buy a drone, but they just seemed too expensive for a hobby and the cheap ones had really bad reviews. Several articles rated this model as the best inexpensive drone for beginners so I gave it a shot. Overall, I was very impressed how well this thing performed for the price.
-Flight time: You can about 10 – 15 minutes flight time depending on what you’re doing. While it doesn’t sound like a lot, it feels much longer. For longer time, just pick up an extra battery and swap it out. The battery takes about an hour and 15 minutes to charge. You charge it by using a microUSB cable connected to the drone (not included)
-Setup: You download the app from the app store and connect it to your phone using a Wifi Connection. Setup was maybe 3 minutes. Tip: If you’re on Android, once you connect to the Drone’s Wifi, wait for your phone to say it’s connected to wifi network but there’s no internet and then tell it to stay connected anyway (usually takes about a minute). Once it does that, it’s fine but it took me awhile to figure that out. It’s clearly an Android issue and not the drone because I have the same problem with Smart Outlets / Amazon Alexa setup.
-Flying: It’s really easy to get the hang of flying this done. I’ve flown it inside and outside and even with a breeze, it was pretty easy to control. It went as high as 30′ or so (one picture is of a neighborhood over a 2 story home). By default, it’s on a slow setting which is better for indoors. If you’re outdoors, turn on the fast setting and this thing really zips. It has a really long range and was able to control the done over a distance of more than baseball field. It easily hovers in place and is actually quite stable to control. It does need a good amount of ambient light to operate though. The drone has sensors on the bottom that it uses to look at the ground and stabilize itself. It works amazingly well but had some problems when being used indoors in more dimly lit rooms. This will not fly at dusk or night.
-Picture/Video: The picture quality is really good for a 5MP camera mounted on a drone. You could come out with some neat pictures with this. The video feed on the phone itself when you’re flying it usually has very little lag but the video saved on your phone can be choppy at time. It’s decent enough for a drone in this price range, just don’t expect professional level video. Also, the camera on this drone is fixed (always facing forward) so don’t expect to angle it down for a bird’s eye view.
-Durability: Reading over reviews of other drones, I never understood why people kept talking about crashing them, but as a beginner you’re going to crash the drone a lot. I’ve hit halls, ceilings, trees, the ground and many other things. The drone just stops itself, you put it flat on the floor again and tell it to take off. It’s remarkably durable and haven’t had any issues with it being damaged. It does come with a few replacement propellers if you need them.
Overall, it’s a really fun toy and a great way to start with drones. It’s really well built and powerful for the price and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants to start playing with drones without spending a ton of money.

If I can edit and add photos or videos in the future I will.
This drone is a lot of fun, it is also smaller than I imagined it would be, however it has a pretty decent sized footprint with the propeller guards.
I was originally going to get a cheaper 50 dollar drone as I was interested in getting outside a little bit more even for 10 minutes a day however I “settled” with the Tello.
I am glad I didn’t settle for any less, as not only is the Tello quite durable, but it’s also fun and has neat little technologies that set it apart.
Flight Calculations are done from a 14 core intel processor, there are sensors on the bottom that are light based so that it can hover in place which is does quite well albeit in sufficient lighting. Has several modes including flips. As well as two speed modes, and changeable settings within the Tello application itself.
The camera is good quality for what it is, videos aren’t the greatest but the pictures are of decent to good quality, as it depends on conditions of weather / drone stability for the capture.
In my experience, it’s a fun, durable and well equipped drone. I think the most fun feature are the sensors on the bottom that allow it to hover in place similar to GPS drones, but also land on your hand, or use the sensors to shut off the propellers upon landing.
Well worth 100 dollars and you’d be selling yourself short with anything else. Definitely worth the money.

I got initially few sub 100$ drones and 170s GPS drone. Ended up returning all of it. Also, around the same time I got DJI mini SE, which I still have and works just great. Ended up returning all other drones, since none of those drones were able to stay stable. Then I read a review about this Tello drone and decided to give it a try. The 1st one i ordered started behaving erratically and falling down within few minutes, so I sent it back to exchange for another same Tello combo pack. The second Tello does the work, appear stable, even with light wind manages to keep its position. The software that comes with the drone controls the drone pretty well. However, there is a problem with camera colors, it shows green/gray picture, very low quality, basically unusable. Id return it because of the camera issue, however, I read in other reviews that its a common issue for past 1-2 years after Tello software update and Tello FPV 5.99$ software solves the camera problem. Indeed it worked pretty well with my drone, the camera takes pretty good pictures . I gave 4 stars for the camera and software issues, otherwise , its pretty good drone.

Lo recomiendo para principiantes. Mi hijo de 8 años lo vuela sin problemas.
No incluye mando puesto que se vincula con celulares o tables y estos funcionan como control.
Puedes ver en tiempo real atraves de la cámara del dron mientras está en vuelo y tu decides cuando grabar video o tomar una foto.
La pila dura unos 12 min aproximadamente en vuelo y se carga completamente en 90 minutos.
No es la mejor cámara por se un dron para principiantes pero esta muy decente. Hace buenas tomas.
Tiene funciones ya configuradas de vuelo como girar en 360 grados, hacer una voltereta y aterrizar o despegar en tu mano, es muy fácil de usar recomiendo que se use bajo supervisión de un adulto.
No tiene localización GPS, tiene un sensor debajo del dron lo que hace que se mantenga en un lugar.
Alcanza una altura máxima de 10 metros sin embargo hay aplicaciones con las que puede alcanzar 30 metros o más.
Se conecta a tu celular o tablet a través de wifi, por lo que no te puedes alejar mucho ya que empieza a perder señal y envia mensajes de alerta en la pantalla de control. Lo he alejado unos 40 metros de distancia sin problema (de distancia no de altura).
No sé puede volar de noche o en lugares con poca luz ya que su sensor de estabilidad no funciona correctamente y pierde control. También el aire le afecta al ser un dron muy pequeño y ligero si hace una corriente de aire hace que pierda control.
No tiene ranura para memoria todo se guarda en tu celular o tableta. Compatible con iOS y android.
En conclusion lo recomiendo para principiantes es de calidad, toma foto y video.

Buen Dron seguro para volar sin vientos en exteriores o para interiores buena resolución de cámara le falta un poco de la estabilización de cámara pero para mi gusto es suficiente lo muestro en el vídeo

IF YOU’RE CONNECTED TO TELLO’S WIFI ON ANDROID, BUT THE APP SHOWS BLACK, TURN OFF YOUR PHONE’S DATA.
It does what it does very well. That’s part of the problem. Cheap quadcopters are a challenge to fly. Expensive ones are very capable. This one is great for learning to fly, but it can’t do much and it’s not really a challenge. By ‘do much’ I mean that without gps you can’t program flight paths or return to base or whatever. You’re also limited to 10m altitude. With no onboard memory card, any pictures or video are degraded by the wifi signal, so, as good as the camera is, unique high-altitude pictures or video are not as good as they could be. High speed mode is limited by how well you can see the drone, because the camera is always tilted down (and a little laggy) so it’s impossible to fly by camera. Of course fixing all of this would pump up the price and you’d end up with a drone 5-10 x the price.
Don’t get me wrong, it connects well, it flies well, it takes pretty good pictures for perspectives that my camera can’t get. It’s pretty damn stable in low wind, using an undercarriage camera and other sensors for position stability. It’s under 250g, so you’re not forced to register it in the US. The screen controls are good enough that, if I had it to do over, I wouldn’t buy the single-use T1d controller that can’t do anything but the Tello.
