Thanks for the video :). I don't know why it popped up into my suggested video list but I assumed it was recent and have just noticed that you made it 3 years ago ! I am still pleased though as I did not know about this new app and by coincidence I happened to dig my Tello out the other day only to discover the contoller had stopped workimg. I now have a shiny new one and am looking forward to being able to configure it using this new app which will be a novel experience. Anyone who has used this Gamesir will realise that it really is the dummest of objects that is covered in buttons most of which elude any attempt to make them do siomething.

Been looking at this app as I've just got a Tello. Gonna get it. Really like the rth and poi features. You can also use it in a training mode where you can hand the phone to someone and you hold the controller do that both you and the person with the phone can fly the tello. Great for training kids and beginners!

One of the things that appealed to him is the ability to write programs for it using code. I might try that!

Hey dear! small review from me: I sunk my Tello the day before yesterday in a creek - until I could save it passed a good 10 minutes - 1½ days packed in a pot of rice and the thing is doing me since yesterday faithful services again.. So from this side: this thing seems indestructible..

[@Fredslye69]

I had mine go into a dog bowl of water lol same deal they are fun little drones

[@parishna4882]

Interesting to hear. I'd have expected the battery to short, which was my worry when I decide to take this down to the secluded creek for some fun. the though of it going over board made me think twice about it. I need a power brick too, for recharging, and more batteries.

[@JohnvanGurp]

I believe Volatello is the same as Tello FPV, which is such a great app! I tried using the stock Tello app after my Pixel 3 updated to Android 11 and it doesn’t even load. Ryze technical support replied to my messages with their standard answer that my phone isn’t supported, which seems ridiculous because it’s a modern Google phone, and they do support the Pixel 2. The only reason I went back to the stock app is that I can’t get Tello FPV to recognize my new GameSir TDs controller... it’s frustrating. It worked fine with the stock app before the Android update. All in all the Tello has been a lot of fun and a great introduction to drones, but I’ll be upgrading soon. Thanks for the great videos! So helpful!

[@yaeger_survival]

Bought myself a Tello like 1 week ago and it's still awesome 👌🏻 fits in a little bag and is always in my chest pack 👌🏻

[@whydidyouresign]

@@CAPTAINDRONE798 Thank you Cap'n D. Got it cued up. But what I meant was what would be a good first drone simply for learning to fly a drone? Again, from my perspective, the Tello with the Volatello app, since it emulates in so many ways the DJI family, seems a worthy contender. Plus, it's in the "lesser-cost group". And that's good. :-)

[@ananomaus]

Skipped the trial and bought the software. Best $5 I've spent in ages. Fixed some of the video glitches I was getting and made the drone so much more fun to fly. Not to say it wasn't great to start with but this put the icing on the cake. Thanks for the video. :D

[@seanc.5310]

I'm all for adding new capabilities to older devices. That app is well done for such a targeted audience. Tello all your friends

[@parishna4882]

Thing is, the hardware in the drone just does location sensing with the under side sensors, and controls the blades for stability, and other things like that. everything else here is done via programming in the app. So the fact they didn't implement a better feature set in the original app, isn't, or wasn't a limitation on the tellos, it was in the app. Or the coders. Probably making sure it would reach a larger target audience, but for those of us with heftier phones, we miss out - till we get apps like this!

[@Michael-ht5fq]

Now there needs to be a walkthough to make your tello foldable. And it would be almost perfect!

[@dale_ch]

WOW! Cap'n Steve - thanks for pointing out this important and little known breath of life option back to the seemingly dying initial Tello hype - mine was gathering dust on the top shelf of the workshop 🙁 - I'm very surprised with DJI initially endorsing it, that they appear to have just left it to die with no obvious continued interest? Now it's been brought down off my top shelf, dusted off and recharged! Haven't had time to fly with it yet using the new app, I'll comment again when I have time to fly with it - Looks great and well worth another try / fly though! - I think the app developer deserves all Tello owners to invest the less than £5 for his full app (after compatibility test with the demo of course!) - if only to reward his huge effort here and to encourage him to continue with the apps future development - Shame on DJI a little here vs a single persons enthusiastic development 🤔

[@CAPTAINDRONE798]

Dale, I think DJI is going to bring out something small, this year. The Tello and Spark have sold well, and I'm surprised there has not been an announcement of yet. DJI knows that if it makes a product under $500, it will sell like crazy, so I'm pretty sure something is coming this year.

[@parishna4882]

Cheers for letting me know about this app. Whilst it seems a wee bit funky in places, it is leaps above the default. I guess the major issue is no gps. But will be getting it when I am paid, and hopefully my controller arrives tomorrow because I just cannot use the phone and watch the thing, keeps flying into everything when in doors in a not so lit room. And the last thing I want is to take it out the back and test things out only for it to fly over the neighbours fence and get caught in a grumpy old buggers grasp... lol

Great review, Steve, and a big thumbs up to the developer. I purchased the App about a month ago and it is indeed very feature rich and the price is small for what you get. Unfortunately, and this is not the fault of the App, when I use the Gamesir T1D controller the received video is too corrupted to use. I’ve tweaked the settings as best as I can but I just can’t tweak it enough so the WiFi and Bluetooth can coexist in harmony. What would be great is if some industrious individual, with better coding skills than myself, could come up with an OTG solution the result would be the Tello would be worth more than its weight in Unobtanium. Regards Nidge.

[@sputniksam]

Update to my post above. I’ve just downloaded the recent update and the video issue is pretty much a non-issue now thanks to the increased adjustment range. This is the App every Tello owner must have. Regards Nidge.

Frank Weller : So far I’ve only tested it in my living room but I’m mightily impressed with the return to home feature. After about six minutes of whizzing around, including flips in all directions, it still returns to within a couple of inches of its take off point. As for the video quality I can now navigate it out of the living room and up the stairs into one of the bedrooms without losing the image, before it would crap out at the bottom of the stairs. I truly believe that Ryze and DJI need to recognise the work the developer of this App and his achievements. Regards Nidge.
