Ryze/DJI Tello One Month Later! WITH A CONTROLLER THIS TIME!

Today lets talk about the Ryze/DJI Tello after a month of use! I think this is about the most fun I've had with a drone in a long time. Its not an actual camera drone but its a really fun drone that you can fly around the house with confidence.

I am a 56 year old, female, marketing manager. Never used a drone before. I got this to learn and to prove to my client that we should shoot drone footage of their build projects. I paid just $59.95 for it through Walmart on Cyber Monday. Cool, cheap and easy.

I guess many of you already have figured this out...but if you get a cheap WiFi extender like the Xiaomi Mi 2, you get way better performance in distance and height, and also get rid of most of the transfer drop outs in the video recording. Phones and tablets have pretty poor WiFi range.

You can use a small wifi repeater to improve range

I had a mavic air before I had a tello. Honestly I get way more enjoyment from the tello. The mavic can take awesome video and pictures and fly almost a mile away, but I don't really need all that. I stick the tello in my saddle bag and a few batteries in my pocket and when the moment strikes me I take it out, give it a toss and hand land it to put it back in my saddle bag. Dose what I need it to and I'm not constantly in fear that something will happen to it.

If you take a little time for composing a shot or video you may get some above average results with this tiny little drone especially for things like Instagram. I always crank up the bitrate to 4Mbit (it's set to automatic by default) in settings first which results in more dropped frames at higher distances but produces some more than adequate results for Instagram or social media sharing. I've been using this thing for a week now and so far I'm impressed. Due to its sice I can easily take it everywhere and it's ready to fly in seconds for a quick selfie shot etc.

I bought the breeze and it was garbage to set up and connect so I exchanged it for the spark which is already awesome!

[leonba]

This drone could take really amazing shots and with an app you could send it up to 30meters

[keithwhisman]

Don’t forget that those brushed motors only give about 5 hours of run time before they die. Brushed motors are cheap (if you buy after market-highly suggested0 and easy to replace but soldering may be required.

[fazmoze]

In the settings it’s default maximum height is set to 10 meters but you can change it to 30 meters which is 100 feet!

Your channel is seriously underrated. This video looked like it was made by one of the 1, 000, 000+ subscriber channels.

About a month ago I bought the Mavic Air and it was a deal where the Tello came with it. I had already had a trainer drone which was a DBPower X400W. It was a super bad drone with no stabilization. But it was the best trainer drone because the controls were so touchy and if I crashed, I’d pick it up, but the battery back in and fly it more. But the tello I think is actually the perfect trainer drone if you are thinking about getting a DJI drone. The software is similar and the controls are exactly the same.

Hi, I have a dji tello but the distance or higher its only 10mts, I use dji tello app.

[danybittar]

Hi
Which drone do you recommend me to buy for personal use while traveling?Tello or dobby or wingsland s6 ?

[peteros]

I understand you mention its not a camera drone..but for travelling with my family we want something we can bring, i dont want to get in trouble for getting anything more 250grams which in most cases is the legal limit not to get permits. The breeze and spark, though great as they are, are more than 250g. Anything you can recommend that meets the 250g limit and good camera drone for travels/ vacation?

[pictureeyecandy]

I kind of disagree Its a camera drone. Not a pro camera drone. If you are new to drones I would say this should be your first camera drone. Yes there are better camera drones out there but this thing is so small you could fly it in places( legally ) where bigger and louder drones get a lot of attention from onlookers or paranoid people. 5MP camera is not the best but its good. 720 is still good for video. You can go a little bit further and have a better signal if you get a wifi repeater that they sell. I think Ryze made a great beginner camera drone for beginners that is easy to fly very stable without GPS. Now if you have to have 1080P or 4k then this is not for you. If you want an inconspicuous camera drone that can get ok images and video of you and your family on a trip or a picnic where you may be around other people who may have a problem with bigger drones.

[itachi]

So which drone is better dji spark or dji phantom 3 standard for a 400$ budget

[netfolks]

What the Tello has done is create a new "paradigm" for small drones. The Tello is the leader now with its stability and features. Anything new will try to at least do what the Tello does. This is a great thing and will move small drone characteristics forward. Already we know what we want in a Tello 2, if there is one: Brushless motors, more features and longer battery life. The current Tello, though, has set a new standard to follow in drone technology.

Great vid! Does it turn on like a dji wherry you got to push, release, push and hold?

[dwilcock]

Got my Mavic Air today. Thanks for your videos showing how fun it can be. Took it out for a few min. before it got dark right after work. So much fun!!!

[bobbyhuston]

When using the controller, is the range better compared with the using a phone?
