Tello Drone - Full Review

Buy Ryze Tello Drone: goo.gl/HWamNA
Battery Charging Station: amzn.to/2JLNdgT
Buy DJI Mavic Mini: bit.ly/flyasyouare
The Ryze Tello drone is here. It includes a DJI flight controller, Intel processor, and intelligent flight modes. It is small, nimble and fast. It flies using the Tello app on your smart phone, so flying this drone is a different experience. We fly it in slow and fast rates, try the different intelligent flight modes, and test it in the wind. Is the Ryze Tello drone right for you? It is $99 and packed with tech, but how does it stack up to other popular drones priced under $100? Our test and review should help you decide for yourself!

[@regwatson2017]

Wow, great review and full of interest unlike some sites that just talk your face off. Many thanks to you and your son and on the strength of this review I will buy one !!!

[@mikeziegler7008]

This is my 1st drone. One thing that I did was get a red Sharpie and make a mark on the front of this thing. For people just getting used to controlling a drone, knowing which end is front makes it a lot easier.

[@BionicRusty]

Thank you for this video. You’ve helped me to decide. I’m upgrading to one of these and pick it up today, along with a spare battery and spare yellow cover. Can’t wait to try it.

[@alansavage9656]

Close call with the camera. For a non GPS quad, it holds its position very well. Excellent review Kelly!!

[@randinrun4167]

I love the young cinematographer working it... you can tell he’s enjoying the droning as much as the cinematography. One tip, at 54 seconds you have chopped your dad’s head just above the eyebrows, it’s noticeable if you’re viewing on widescreen like I am now... either keep he and the drone in the frame all together or chop him out below the neck or start with both of them in frame and zoom in on the drone... it’s nice to see family is doing fun things like this altogether, keep it up and thank you guys for all the great videos, I am now subscriber and I’m looking forward to the next one! 👍🏼

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks Badger UAV!

[@KJ-db8lh]

Thats so gay

[@toddcranenola4635]

Hi RSD. I found you through suggested videos. First, your videos are great and your editing, top notch. I made a KZbin channel, so I'm doing my research. Thanks for all of your help! Please keep it up. Just subbed!

[@thefinalunnamed312]

The zoom I’m on the dog made me smile😊

[@tankbuilder0673]

One thing I like about the tello is that it’s very stable. I just got a Mavic mini but I like to use the tell for inside the house

[@Laoch86]

Fantastic review, covered everything! Great work guys.

[@GUENEPO]

Hi I all ready bought one I Can wait to receive that little beat.thanks

[@BillDusty]

This quad's performance and flight characteristics strongly resembles that of Parrot's "airborne night" (Maclane) series. Similarly priced. Better app flight options with Tello.

[@Georgewrigley]

Just got mine today guys. Great little stable drone, and the best phone operated drone I've flown-ever! Easy and precise. Thanks for a great review. Cheers 😊✈️👍

[@nypal99]

Nice piece! Thanx for you and your sons efforts, You two are a great team.

[@14Mentalist]

I flew one of these and it had the Patten of ironman on it. It is so cute. Honest opinion is for how much it is it's a brilliant little drone and I want one and for 99 pounds it's amazing and I love how it locks in position. Stability is amzing.

[@justindickman1639]

Thanks for the awesome review on this little drone it’s really Awesome

[@ExpeditionaryOverland]

Thank you for doing this review.! Will help me get started when I do drone recording on my jeep overlanding trips.

[@twlrsc47]

Great review !!! First time visiting your blog....I'm impressed . Now, I need to talk the wife into me NEEDING this new toy. Best of luck to you in the future

[@ew9n]

I just got one I am excited it's charging. I will be getting mavic air at Christmas time hopefully

[@asulliv1954]

Great Video showing what the Tello can do,but also what great photography your son did no jerking,wobbling motions just smooth motion great job son he will take over for you!!Thank You both!!

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks!

[@nemesio888]

My gosh! Because of you I'm buying one today😁 thanks for that great fun review as always

[@tourguidechuck]

The first video, from you , I've ever seen. I was looking for advice on this little guy and your vid convinced me to buy! I like your casual approach and demonstrations. I assume you have much experience in this arena so your genuine surprise and enthusiasm really helped. I like the fact you tried a few fun things. Thanks! I will recommend your reviews to friends. BTW I am going to use this to capture my tours and hikes. Thanks!

[@readysetdrone]

Hey Charles! Thanks for the kind words. I look forward to seeing what you can do with the Tello!

[@busabro1]

Just bought mine. I cannot wait to try it out. I bought the extra battery and docking station too .

[@Coqui-Media]

Really liking this done! Got it yesterday and haven't stopped since. Good thing it came with two batts.....

[@readysetdrone]

It is really fun to fly. Thanks for the comment.

[@IaninLondon]

Thanks Kelly. nice summary. This looks very similar to the Parrot Mambo FPV I reviewed a couple of months ago. I was wondering if the optional remotes would talk directly with the Tello, but it seems not, as you say, so like the Parrot, this really is a fun, toy drone for kids and beginners who want some short-range flying. Thanks for the review! Cheers, Ian in London.

[@eddiepan2000]

Very good demonstration. I am in line to buy one now. Thanks!

[@pmondi9998]

Thank you, for showing how it can the drone stick out in a windy day.

[@TheMadisonZone]

I got one for Christmas! Can't wait to try it out!💖👏🏼👍🏼

[@lawcorp]

Great, thanks guys. Wish you did a distance test too though

[@bigeyetuna6228]

Best review of the Tello I’ve seen, by a mile👍

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks!

[@pablo9364]

I like your reviews. Very interesting, informative and to the point. Might get one

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks!

[@AllenHebert]

We just received ours and took it outside with some pretty gusty winds and it did great holding its own. So far so good, excited to let the kids start programming the unit.

[@readysetdrone]

Very cool. This thing flies pretty well inside too. One trick is to make sure there is plenty of light b/c the vision positioning sensor works best if there is enough light.

[@GadgetInspector]

I’ve never seen vision positioning like this on a toy drone. I actually took it up about 30-feet and it was still holding its position. Pretty amazing. Looks like your recorded video doesn’t have nearly the amount of dropped frames as mine does. Glad to hear your opinion of it.

[@readysetdrone]

Yes - the visual positioning is pretty amazing for a toy. And I really like the flight modes too. Thanks for the comment!

[@INTELMAXELL]

Try a faster SD card it might help with the drop frame rates.

[@videoscrapheap]

It doesn't have an SD card. The images and video stream are captured in the phone app.

[@GadgetInspector]

Correct. I wish it did take a card though, that would probably solve it. I'm hoping Ryze can improve the bit rate or something in a firmware update. We'll see.

[@INTELMAXELL]

Wow no SD card slot...omg

[@ramaseshupasuparthi843]

So far this is the best ever review for this drone❤️❤️❤️

[@readysetdrone]

Glad you liked it

[@BillTheDroneReviewer]

Great review Kelly. That's an incredible amount of features for $99. Impressed how it did in the wind without GPS. I see the motors as probably being the pain point (not being brushless). Looking forward to seeing how a controller does with it !

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks Bill!

[@pearljoe3814]

VERY helpful video. Cheers, mate!

[@EdwardKessler]

need more puppy footage Tate!! Good job, I like when you get close to the drone and you are at eye level with the props, gives us a really great view of it in action, nice work all of you!!

[@EdwardKessler]

was Jenga limping?

[@readysetdrone]

She just had ACL knee surgery. She is actually getting better and should be 100% in 3 weeks or so. Thanks for asking!

[@terryandteresa]

First full review I've seen! Damn your on IT!! 👍I'm getting one ordered tonight!! I'll use your affiliate if you have one?

[@larrybrown638]

I will admit, the electronics add some nice features. I have a small parrot and it's not as advanced but it does do some of my he same features. Great review!

[@demonetizedhistory5806]

parrot connectivity is better than the tello.

[@vegasdan9820]

Thanks for a great review! Best Buy has a Boost Combo.. for $100 ($50 savings) so I’ll pull the trigger on this based on your review! It comes with 3 batteries so I think this will keep me busy for a while and a great starter before I move up to the Mavics. Thanks again!

[@JayBesangreCimafranca]

This video helped me decide to buy the Ryze Tello.. Thank u

[@theaylesburycyclist8756]

Looks like a cracking little drone. Great video, cheers.!

[@mostafachabi6684]

Please do more reviews on mi drone 4k please.... it's a very very rock solid drone in very low price range. It has a lot of potential for making cinematic footage. At the end thank you for making drone reviews... I'll wish you the best.

[@christopherrichter9691]

Very good review! Excellent job to you and to your son!

[@johndequito]

Great review. Thank you. I think I’m getting one as my first ever drone.

[@daddystuff5337]

Please do a review on the new TelloFPV app. It´s realy amazing what this app can do with the tello!

[@BIGDRONEFLYER77RC]

This is impressive quad, the hoover is amazing. I should of got that instead of the bugs3 mini. Cool you can connect with a game controller. A friend of mine is going to make a video about it. Dji and intell makes greatness. Great job Kelly and thanks so much for the video.

[@TheHappyCanadian]

Great review this looks like a great little drone. Cheers

[@AtokVlog]

You are getting me impressed with this little drone

[@user-gm1pq5se5i]

Hi, thanks a lot for your very useful video (as usual). About what you experienced, any chance to keep the video flow to use as a streaming mode for live TV broadcast on KZbin? (I mean for short flying distance, less than 15 meters or so)...

[@Dj_pekas]

nice review. just purchased thru your link! For the price, you can't pass up a cool drone like this one

[@khimlo7739]

Thanks for this review. Planning to buy this next week

[@scumbagdyln]

I hear that you're able to program your own intelligent flight modes but I never caught what language it uses; do you happen to know?

[@MylaCuya]

Amazing review! I made it watching til the end hahahaha

[@Ebocraze]

Excellent video. Definitely getting one next weekend. Do you think adding a Wifi Repeater to the Tello's Wifi Signal will extend the range slightly?

[@str8channel]

I seen a few reviews now on this. Seems you each have different experiences with it. Perhaps it's presentation combined expertise that delivers the best compilation... I actually like this drone now... good show.

[@readysetdrone]

Thanks. My goal was to SHOW how it flies in addition to telling how it flies. It's not a perfect drone, but for the cost, it has alot of cool features! Thanks for the comment.

[@SuperCarnoustie]

Great review! Take it the camera is in the fixed horizontal position? Shame they didn't design it to at least adjust manually to point downwards 45 / 90 degrees

[@kings7man]

the range of this drone can be extended with the xioami range extender . the altitude can be extended to 30m with the TALS app . however something to be aware of is that this drone is VERY prone to flyways particularly at the extended altitude even in a light breeze . I have had a couple of instances of fly aways nearly losing my drone

[@BjEddy1]

you did an excellent job on this,, easy to understand,, left no questions unanswered , thank you for posting!

[@readysetdrone]

Thank you Bj Eddy! It was fun to put this together. There is alot to this drone - it's not perfect, but it has alot of cool features!

[@AndrewCCM]

Agreed.

[@thomasmcdowell9365]

@@readysetdrone I got this drone and charged it and within a few minites of flight it said over heating any reason why it would be like that?? Be a great help if you can suggest something.

Awsome review very very well Done not to much talk just very good Thanks Marcus Sweden

[@keepitpeachy__]

Great video! Any idea what happens when it goes out of range? I take it there's no RTH mode without the GPS etc does it just land? I'm a bit worried about flying it over water etc Im thinking of getting one for traveling etc

[@frsiqueira]

Loved your video. Congratulations.

[@arunkrishnan6809]

Really nice video. I went out and got the Tello after watching your video. How do you get the battery level to show on your phone. I just get the graphic and not the number. Thanks

Great video, i spent half the money for tello on another copter, should have just spent a little more and gone for tello, but its my first quadcopter so maybe it makes sense to practice on a cheaper drone. Great video.

[@GregskYflYer]

Great video ! Will receive mine tomorrow !

Iv just got one of these and it's a fantastic drone, ideal as a 1st drone of or as a plaything for an experienced drone pilot. Oh and your lawn needs cutting.

I wish the tello was as good as the Spark at 83g, with a fly more version. No more CASA problems!

[@jacksonkirtley4600]

Very informative video

[@Bulls79]

Looks pretty good for beginners, does it have audio recording along with the video?

[@georgepkoug]

Very nice review, really liked it!! But I believe that in general even if a drone has a gps or not it always utilizes other sensors to maintain its position/balance (gyroscopes, acceleration sensors, camera and proximity sensors) the gnss receivers fitted in commercial drones do not have the necessary accuracy to help the drone maintain such a steady position (one of the best gnss receivers for commercial drones is that of a phantom 4 RTK which has centimeter level accuracy, that means that at the same position it gives the drone geographical coordinates that are + or - some centimeters apart from the real ones and from each other, if the drone used this information to keep its position it would constantly change its position or constantly shake in mid air)
