so what is the price of it now? And is it available right now?

[@mikeziegler7008]

This is my 1st drone. I am 59 years old and without tech skills. But even I can fly this drone! I'm not thrilled with the android app because it's easy to move off of the controls without knowing... so I have to look down at my phone quite a lot. The good news is that the drone hovers while I recover. I used a red Sharpie to mark the "nose" of the drone. It helps me to see where the front is. I had 2 propellers come off after a crash on the first day. It didn't fly at all after that so I shelved it. I finally got around to chatting with tech support and found out that the props are not all the same. I had mixed them up when I re-installed. Back in business now!

[@nathannicholson1111]

Awesome Mike! So cool to hear you are enjoying tech

[@clmfilms8103]

Once you get things figured out with this one you should upgrade to something like the mavic air 2s, with 12km range, GPS, obstacle avoidance, 5.4k camera, 31 minute flight time etc.

[@dazzahaywood7121]

Yeah I had the same problem but found out the propellers need to be matched up now it flys brilliant iam not far off your age. 😂 Good ain't they now I've moved on to the mavic there unbelievable. Brilliant

[@jamier7073]

I am almost 57 and just bought the Gamesir Controller for DJI Tello and it makes a HUGE difference in the controlling and smoothness of flying. Definitely recommend it. I am not very well coordinated but within 5 minutes I had my drone flying under my covered verandah and through the railings.

Great video, I found this Drone at Walmart today. Watched ur review and went ahead and got it. 99 dollars. Just got a mavic pro last week and I'm definitely a dji fanboy now. Thks for sharing 😊 👍

[@jamier7073]

Word of advice when flying inside, make sure it is bright enough else the drone starts drifting, usually towards curtains or fragile things as I found out. If it is too dark then it cannot use its optical stabilisers to position itself

[@TheKingTywinLannister]

Also it’s self generated wind will bounce back from floor and walls and push it into random direction cause it’s so light weight so be careful with that too.

[@ilooovnoodles]

I have now just purchased this drone, the video answered all my questions and it was honest and showed that it is a perfect drone for those that know nothing about drones and don't have $700 laying around haha. Thanks for the review

[@truenorth365]

Bought this one for my niece 11 years old. And she totally loving it! Really glad that you can communicate how fun it is to fly a drone to a younger generation. Mavic Pro and Inspire 2 owner myself, but this little bugger kick some ass IMO. Thanks for the video Ed! Thumbs up from Sweden

[@retiredengineer8453]

Watching this a few years after it was made, but found informative and very accurate. I purchased one and controlling with I-phone using with the free phone APP. Price is now a bit higher (think I paid $123 for drone, battery, and USB charger cable. Drone came with propeller guards installed.

[@TheKnightsShield]

When you show the camera view on your phone with the digital thumbsticks, it gives a really good impression of just how the interface will look on different phones. I have an older model Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and the video looks great, with the interface relatively well spaced out.

[@JuanCamacho21]

Great review on this little drone. I am looking for a cheap drone but I may go with the Spark.

Hello Ed, I know this is a very old review but I very much apreciated it. I was looking for a small affordable drone that was easy to manoeuver. Looking at your review makes me choose this Tello and I am not disappointed, I was able to make it fly very easily thanks to its beginner features like take off and landing. Nicolas

[@flyhi2773]

A decision to go to Norway for a holiday I think lead to my viewing Norway videos to think, wow, you'll not be getting up there, 2000ft high cliffs to take photos. I came across drone footage and thought that's the answer. Find the Mavic but I'm like do I really want to get a feel for drones with a mavic? Well, my answer to that is no. Figured buying a cheap drone first for less than $100, might just save me a lot of money so looked for reviews of cheap drones, subbed to you only a couple days a go and find your reviews to be among the best. That's it, I'm sold on buying this first, then the Mavic. This looks like it might remain handy anyway for tight shots, going under a bridge, through a forest, interior shots - places I wouldn't want to risk flying a Mavic but could afford to lose something like this without it really putting a downer on an otherwise good day. Minutes after viewing this, that was it, I went and ordered one so thanks for this, looks great.

[@DriveOnGuard]

I like coincidence people. You were guided to see it. :D

rolrod85 when you hit something like a wall it will sense that hit and shut off the rotors so you don’t hurt them.

[@fastfix.indonesia]

I would be very happy if they made the second series, of course with brushless motors. I will buy it right away.

[@richardhanson2235]

Nice review Ed👍. Best thing about the Tello IMO is I don’t have to worry about FAA No Fly Zones or TFR’s, not that I’d fly it anywhere near maned aircraft. I thought range would be a letdown, but by the time it gets that far away, keeping within line of sight becomes becomes the limiting factor.

[@GekoPish]

The audio at the end is that also from the drone ?? 10:27 onward ?? Or does it not have mic and just used your other equipment ?

[@EdRickerVlogs]

That's still from my camera's mic. I just synced up the drone's footage with the audio from my camera. If the drone had a mic, all you'd hear is the buzzing of the props.

[@GekoPish]

[@ImaITman]

I got two of these from work as prizes. Never had a drone thought it'd be like a 20 dollar thing since it was a prize from work. Tried it out and thought it was amazing. This little thing is awesome, as a total newb you'd be hard pressed to crash it because it auto stabilizes so well.

[@emorytraylor]

How many miles can you go with these things? Im thinking of flying it from my house to a walmart across the street.

[@Kholaslittlespot1]

@@emorytraylor with the tello it's WiFi only so it's limited on distance, but you can buy a WiFi repeater which boosts it a lot. I think it's officially 100metres distance and 10metres altitude but I've seen people go 30metres upwards with the repeater and I've heard of a guy who flew one 650metres.

I crashed this drone 1-2 times and none of the props broke, neither got scratched badly.Only a little line of scratch and the propeller just fell off when I crashed it into a tree. Second time I crashed it was when I got the drone, the wind blew it into a wall and again, the propeller just fell off and I just put it back on again.Really durable for just 99 USD!

[@tombolinorest.6827]

Picked it up for the holidays. Definitely worth it for the price.

[@cpf3348]

Hi J Siciliano,may i know how much did u paid for it? And how does it perform outdoor when the wind is blowing? Thanks in advance!

[@tombolinorest.6827]

I paid 99.00 with three batteries. The wind does affect it performance. The batteries die quickly but for the price it’s good.

[@samz.1]

@7:54 how did u get that show without it moving the camera? That vidos shows the down and then straigh forward

[@EdRickerVlogs]

When moving quickly, the camera points toward because the drone is pointed slightly downward. The angle of the camera is the same as the drone. As a drone moves in a certain direction, it tilts in that direction.

[@samz.1]

@@EdRickerVlogs got it thanks.. how is durability of this drone? Is it valuble for its price?

For the past week's I have been looking for drones. Since I have wanted to get back into making movies like did when I went to high school. But tbh I don't have any money, and I wanted to get started now since I don't have a job either... Let's goo corona. So I pitched the idea to my dad, I said: "Hey dad wanna invest in me so I can get started with this drone hobby/business " next thing I knew, I had this amazing starter drone in my hand :-) I am so happy that I can do something and its something that I enjoy working with.

I bought the tellow 2 weeks ago and it was not what I was expecting. The camera had a lot of hiccups during video so it’s filthy. The range does not go to 100m. More like 30m. When I get to 30m it cuts in and out and disconnects. There was no point of it if it won’t go far. So I returned and decided to put my money on the mavic mini 2 and I love it. It goes 10km which I don’t know if it’s true but I got 6000m and I was scared to push it more. So i let it return home and it worked great. The mini 2 is a way better choice at the price point.

Also, I bought the Game-Vice controller to use with my I-Phone and Tello, and it really adds to the overall experience.
