🚁 Which is the Best Dji Tello Controller? a GameSir T1D or T1S OTG

[@volkereickenbergful]

Thank you for presenting the differences.

[@GarryPurcell]

Glad you liked my video.

[@WhattaFook]

I had both. The t1s is a t1d with more funktions. I use the t1s with controller cable comes from a mini 2

[@GarryPurcell]

Thanks for taking the time to comment, I really appreciate it. 😀

[@wmuylaert]

Good morning, I do not know if you already know, but I saw in another video on KZbin that there is already an autualization in Tello itself, in which it is possible to use without the OTG cable. Sorry for any grammatical or linguistic error, but I am using a translator, because I am from Brazil and do not dominate your language. Your video deserved a like! Good flights!

[@GarryPurcell]

Hi Gamesir T1D its made for the Tello, and is a dedicated Bluetooth Controller. Gamesir T1S can use either with a OSD cable or Bluetooth. The OTG cable is used so you won't get Bluetooth interference on your FPV video signal, and video recordings. Oi O Gamesir T1D é feito para o Tello e é um controlador Bluetooth dedicado. O Gamesir T1S pode ser usado com um cabo OSD ou Bluetooth. O cabo OTG é usado para que você não receba interferência de Bluetooth no sinal de vídeo FPV e nas gravações de vídeo.

[@qdavishouse]

Gary, Thanks for the info. Great video. Concerning the gaming capabilities you answered the question I had concerning this controller and before seeing your video, I did not know the T1S existed. Much respect sir.

[@GarryPurcell]

I learnt the hard way, by wasting money on the T1D controller. At least I got the message out, and saved others doing the same.

[@augustinglenn]

I can't seem to get the Tello app to to see the controller (T1s). It connects to the phone, (can navigate through the phone with the controller), but can't seem to navigate through the Tello app.

[@GarryPurcell]

You need a third party app, like aTelloPilot, or TelloFPV.

[@Tony-ow3if]

Great info thanks !! Are the two ubits the same dimensions!! ( for my carry case)

[@GarryPurcell]

Yes they are!

[@Jesswoolliss]

Just got a t1s an won't turn on unless it's plugged in to the wall on charge any ideas what can be up with it

[@GarryPurcell]

The battery needs to be charged fully before use. So leave it on charge for a few hours first, the Led should indicate when its fully charged.

[@Jesswoolliss]

Hi ye I charged it all blue light were lit still no joy not impressed with it

[@GarryPurcell]

@@Jesswoolliss Your next step is to put the controller into Android pairing mode with the Tello.

[@khalilkh7389]

Do it need phone to fly dji tello? Can it fly by only remote?

[@rcsproject627]

Hello Gary with using the OTG cable will you still maintain connection to the drone after 30 meters? BT as you know only gives you 30 meters, 100 ft. Thanks great video.

[@GarryPurcell]

You will get the same distance using the controller. To get extra distance you need a WiFi range extender like the one I reviewed below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4GphqipnpdgipI

[@zeeb696]

My T1d battery went bad. Almost impossible to change without destroying remote.Any other remotes that will work?

[@GarryPurcell]

My personal favorite is the T1S, but you will need to a get 3rd party app for the controller to work with the Tello. P.S. The T1S doesn't have a 3rd party app for Apple devices. Only android devices are supported.

[@zeeb696]

Gary, there must be some software to download. When I plug in the org cable it turns on the controller but won’t operate anything at all.

[@GarryPurcell]

The T1d will work directly with the original Tello app If You're using the T1S, you will need a third party app, either ATello Pilot, or TelloFPV. (My Preference is TelloPilot, they also have a free limited test version)

[@robertkotevski9649]

Great video mate, I just got my gamesir t1s in today, its been charging for about 3 hours and only 2 led lights are on i believe 4 led lights on means its fully charged, is it normal for these t1s controllers to take a long time to charge, how long does yours take to charge

[@GarryPurcell]

From memory, mine took a while to fully charge the first time I used it. All lights should be on when fully charged.

[@xeroke6075]

hello, is the t1s still compatible with iphone after ios15?

[@GarryPurcell]

There is no Tello Apple app I know of, that utilizes theT1D, or T1S controllers.

[@amirulshaqil5763]

Sir.. What setting u use connect controller to fon with cabel OTG... Or just plug n play...??

[@GarryPurcell]

You need an OTG cable and a third party Tello app to use the controller.

[@amirulshaqil5763]

What do u mean third party tello...?? Can u give me example...

[@Аксиома-щ5я]

Tell me please what phone did you use to pairing with T1s?

[@GarryPurcell]

At the time of this video I used an Oppo F1S.

[@zeeb696]

Did you ever try a gamevice?

[@GarryPurcell]

No I haven't.

[@rbmwiv]

Thanks for the review. I was wondering what the difference was with the both of them.

[@GarryPurcell]

The GameSir T1S wins easily, and it can be used for other applications. I have mine also paired to an Android TV.

[@rbmwiv]

Thanks. Sounds like that’s what I’ll be getting since I got a android tv box.

[@phoenix4202]

Hi mate great videos ! Quick question , I have the t1s can I fly my tello bluetooth with my iPhone ? If so how!? I can connect to phone but it don’t show when I look in tello app thanks in advance 👍🏻

[@GarryPurcell]

As far as I know, Apple have no 3rd party apps at the moment. So the T1S won't work for you. I do know that a developer called volate!lo, he made TelloFPV for android, and is about to release a version for IOS. (Link to his forum posts below.) P.S. You can ask him questions directly regarding his IOS release date, and he will answer directly to you. tellopilots.com/threads/new-app-tellofpv.2710/page-144 Hope this helps.

[@phoenix4202]

Garry Purcell that’s great very helpful thanks! Think I might buy a cheap android phone and go otg as you advise , thanks again !

[@zmanpianoman]

Gary could you please tell me how to set up the T1s for the tello on an Android phone. Everything connects but it does not work. Still have joy sticks on tello screen and the blue tooth symbol is not turned on. Could I run that cable between the phone and the controller to control drone.

[@GarryPurcell]

Make sure the OTG cable is connected the correct way, (the cable only works in one direction) Also use a third party app running on your phone (TelloFPV or AtelloPilot)

[@wojtekgoebiewski8560]

I just bought t1s, one thing ive done was to change setup on gamesir to conenct with IOS (u use buttons combination to change it i guess it was R2+Y to change for IOS) and its working perfectly... before it didnt detect gamsir on my iphone.

[@marygracecabique1035]

thanks for the review.... now i know which one should i buy.

[@GarryPurcell]

The T1S is definitely better, and versatile (you can also play games with it)) Make sure you also purchase a OTG cable to go with it, and a 3rd Party App, like TelloFPV of AtelloPilot.

[@jomunjr]

Thanks for the video, is the T1S compatible with iOS/iPhone. Compatible with the Tello app? Is that a big deal? Are there better apps? What controllers do you recommend overall, in order of preference? I am looking for a controller of this design that can use the Tello app, has bluetooth, OTG, and is compatible with other devices such as the Nintendo Switch. The T1S seems perfect but just want to make sure it can work with the Tello App, if that matters. Thanks!

[@GarryPurcell]

Unfortunately not as far as I know. You need a third party app and I don't think any are available for IOS

[@zmanpianoman]

Gary, one more quick question. Is the OTG cable just a mini USB to a mini USB or is it something special. If so can you post a link where to buy it. Thanks again.

[@GarryPurcell]

You will need a male to male OST Cable. The One I bought is in the link below ebay.to/2KDIqjV Hope that answers your question.

[@zmanpianoman]

Thank you , Gary. Just plug the cable in both and your good, Tello will work. Thanks.

[@GarryPurcell]

@@zmanpianoman Glad you got it sorted out.

[@jasonhildebrand4083]

Appreciate the tip. I, too, purchased a GameSir T1D, then found out the negative effects of wireless interference. I have ordered a T1S. Can you please clarify what kind of cable is needed? Is "Micro USB to Micro USB OTG" correct? Perhaps you could post a link.

[@GarryPurcell]

It's a Micro usb male to micro usb male converter OTG adapter cable. There's plenty on ebay to choose from.

[@jasonhildebrand4083]

Perfect. Thanks for confirming.

[@scotterickson9972]

@@jasonhildebrand4083 and Garry Purcell I just received a Gamesir T1S in the mail, and the micro usb male to micro usb male OTG cable for my son. Unfortunately, my son seems to have a newer phone with a different charging port, and the cable won't fit in his phone, which is a Samsung Galaxy S9. I've google the type of port, says it's USB C. Do you think just getting a USB C to Micro USB OTG cable will work? Or a converter from USB C to Micro USB we could attach to the same cable? Obviously it's not your concern, but as a not super techie guy I'd appreciate any thoughts you might care to share!

[@jasonhildebrand4083]

@@scotterickson9972 Yes, USB C to Micro USB OTG should work.

Hey ...Question did these controllers feel sticky when you took them out the box?

[@GarryPurcell]

Do you mean sticky plastic? Or slow response?

[@daneb7265]

I just got the set with t1d and for some reason right stick reduces response after 5-6 seconds into flight. Every time. Movements are rather robotic with minimum input and in any slight wind drone will drift and right stick is useless. Reset t1d, updated tello, still the same. Flight with phone only is just fine.

[@GarryPurcell]

Sounds like a calibration error. But I'm not sure. I still have the T1D but don't use it, the T1S is my prefered controller.

[@lowspecbenchmarks7983]

xiaomi repeater will help with interferenced from t1d ?

are you sure sir that t1s will really work with a tello? because many are suggesting not to buy a t1s it will not bind with the tello...im getting dizzy which one to follow..hehe

[@GarryPurcell]

The Gamesir T1S works perfect with both ATelloPilot and TelloFPV. T1S will NOT WORK with the Official Tello Play Store app. (However, the T1D Does) I would suggest the T1S is the way to go.

[@GarryPurcell]

I forgot to say "use an OTG Cable with the T1S" rather than a Bluetooth conection.

[@zeeb696]

Do you have an app that talks to you?

[@GarryPurcell]

ATelloPilot has vocal commands.

[@BishanCader]

I made the same mistake of buying T1d too. For some reason, T1d is more expensive than T1s. Also please note T1d do not have vibration motors, T1s have them.

[@GarryPurcell]

We all learn from our mistakes. Its nice to know you agree with me regarding these controllers.😀

[@timothy1837]

anyone know how to fix a gamesir T1d messing up with my tello i now can only fly the tello with my phone.

[@GarryPurcell]

Try rebooting your phone, and resetting the Tello to its original settings, then add the T1D.

[@timothy1837]

ok i will try that..thanks

[@GarryPurcell]

I forgot to mention, uninstall the Tello app, then reboot your phone, and reinstall the Tello App.

[@timothy1837]

that i can not do...maybe with the original tello app..but im using the fpv volatello version and i once accidentally uninstalled that app and bought a new one just to enjoy much more tello flying...i think the gamesir is the real problem maybe not so sure i have tried resetting the pin hole button and calibrated the sticks of the gamesir the problem persist...

[@GarryPurcell]

@@timothy1837 Ahhh I was unaware you were trying to use TelloFPV. Goto tellopilots.com/threads/new-app-tellofpv.2710/ and ask volatello directly, he responds to any questions regarding his App, and he will be able to sort out what has gone wrong for you.

does T1s works with iOS tello app?

[@GarryPurcell]

Hi William Unfortunately I don't know the answer. The T1S works with third party apps and I don't think there are any available for IOS.

[@rbmwiv]

William Ng Yes sir it most certainly does. I have Iphone for my phone and I have a cheap android for android stuff. But to clarify yes works with 0 issues on my iPhone 7 with the T1s controller.

[@GarryPurcell]

Good to know. I wasn't aware of any 3rd party tello apps on Apple. Or is the T1S working with the stock tello app?

[@rbmwiv]

The T1s works with any app that supports a gamesir controller. Works with stock tello on my iPhone 7 and all the different Android apps on my cheap dollar store Android. But I would definitely be recommend the T1S since it is far more compatible than the T1D

[@michaelg8001]

A a new Tello owner I thank you for your video. Do you see any difference in how accurately the Tello reacts to the sticks between OTG and bluetooth? I bought the T1D, but for controlling the Tello inside it is just too jerky. There's a bit of lag and no fine movements. Or is there someway to make the movements as accurate as with the Tello app on screen controls?

[@GarryPurcell]

Bluetooth will always lag, OTG is more direct, as it doesn't require a second connection to the Tello, so less lag.

[@michaelg8001]

Update: I sent the T1 bluetooth controller back for a refund and tested a new T1 (wired) today via USB and OTG. Right away I can say that this flies much better, as the controlls are a lot finer. Now I can fly indoors without crashing all the time, great! The controller is very picky about which cable you use. Some work, but the cheapy short ones don't. The one that comes with it works (but it's rather long). Thought I'd share this with new users who are looking into buying a controller. So a big thank you to Gary for the great tip!
