Tq 4 this info New tello comunities. Nice

[@BigSpookyJeff]

Thanks for your video. I purchased two of these for my boys for Christmas. They are so much fun.. Even though the battery dies quick. One of the motors stopped working. But, after watching your video, I'm going to try and find replacement parts online. Thanks again!

[@lensvana]

Thanks for watching, and hope you find an easy motor replacement! Learning to repair one of these could be a great educational experience for the kids too

[@BigSpookyJeff]

@@lensvana good point.

[@hs7ehfheuezdhji]

I really like the tello. Have 3. Beside the xiaomi, have another no name extender, with that the drone flies approx 400m which is awesome. Wired t1s controller and a dronemask2.

[@copiousthoughts]

I like it alought

The camera is actually much better than this video owner knows. If you point it at a colorful landscape or at some nice colors indoors it does a good job. The picture are nice and clear with no grainy look. Also you can further enhance the pictures with your phone or iPad editing feature. 😀

[@sixraysproductions5105]

he gave a very bad review of the drone, i'm not sure why . I have the same drone for 2 years and its the best ! the pic quality is awesome compare to this guy. The drone is quiet, moves fast, handles like a professional drone. I don't find his review accurate at all .

[@luke9435]

very good drone for its price but wifi extender is a must so you can fly way further

[@rcplayland]

Could you provide more information on what WiFi extender you suggested. Link or model number? Thank you.

[@lensvana]

Found it again on Aliexpress: www.aliexpress.com/item/32789190693.html (There are a ton that look exactly like this, pretty sure it's just one factory that pumps them out so it's a matter of finding the cheapest one from a reputable seller)

[@rcplayland]

@@lensvana Thank you!

Do you use an Ipod charger from laptop USB to drone for the ryze tech? how do u charge it

[@lensvana]

I bought the Boost combo which came with the 3 batteries charger and that plugs directly into a USB wall adapter yea

[@loganpaschall4333]

on the off chance you are still curious, you can charge the drone off the micro usb on the side but the 2 extra batteries and charger only costs 15 more as a kit. 100% worth it. The app he showed has now included some now VPS which is basically just computer controlled. Definitely still worth the 100 dollars for anyone new to remote controls. Happy flyin!

[@Therealralsei]

I have tello drone but it cant fly it only flys for 1 second pls tell me why

[@lensvana]

Definitely something wrong with the drone - contact RYZE customer support! Or ask on the tellopilots forums

[@laxrider8818]

I had this issue when I was flying with my iPhone so I switched to my droid tablet and worked like a charm so try flying using a different device

[@lensvana]

What do you guys think of the Tello? Worth it today, or has it been superseded by other budget drones? My only wish is that it would have on-board microSD

[@federalnoise]

This drone is superb. Very easy and forgiving. Only suited to extremely mild weather. It's a lovely little thing.

[@iclazion]

Got it as a gift, thought it's a cheap toy, until I switched on the fast settings. Best drone for any person who has no experience. Racing the tello through our land and I will be buying a FPV ;)

[@lensvana]

@@iclazion It really goes in Sport mode! :) I've switched to a Mavic Mini now for better video quality but I really wanna try out FPV!

[@tahirahmed33]

Spark is a good drone also

[@ericsagaoinit4878]

Can you help me guys ..it note 10 plus is comaptible to download tello rmote conttol

[@itzvarun9108]

What's the charging time of 1 battery

[@lensvana]

90 minutes if battery is being charged while inside drone. 2 hours to charge all 3 batteries in the charging hub

[@itzvarun9108]

Thanks for the reply

[@hunchooblakk1612]

15 minutes

[@billhooperoutdoors]

I disagree. I think the Tello flies much better with a remote. I use a Ps4 remote and it works great.

[@LazyGuyCoyote]

Could depend on interference where you live as well.

[@g.f.m.5516]

Bruh i lost my tello today it just went straight up and it never came back

[@lensvana]

I've heard of this happening but never experienced it... wow. Time to get a Mavic Mini, much more reliable

[@FubarX]

did you use regular app or tello fpv app ?

[@tahirahmed33]

I hope DJI release the spark 2

[@tempestblack2771]

They did, it's called the Mavic Mini

[@bekzodruzmetov732]

It's not a toy, because it is better than xiaomi mitu

[@MrDinakdakan]

21. tello is equiped with a vps camera, make sure its clean before takeoff 22. tello motors are brushed motors that only live upto 40hours

[@lensvana]

Great tips. Thanks!

[@tempestblack2771]

I disagree with the 40 hours. I personally have logged over 200 hours with my Tello.

[@MrDinakdakan]

@@tempestblack2771 thats good to know

I am trying to save up my money

[@gooderstech3517]

Yup very good man you should get it but it can depend.
