This drone is well made but very basic. It will get you into the hobby but has some limitations. The camera takes some good 5MP pictures but the video is only 720p and stutters at times. There is no onboard memory so your phone/tablet app is recording a stuttery video. There are some educational apps that you can download and allow you to program flights of the little Tello. No GPS but it keeps a steady position with DJI tech downward facing sensor. Great for indoor use, ok for outdoor use as long as the wind is not too strong.

I’ve had several small drones and quadcopters all under$100 and they all were underwhelming. This Tello is the bomb! The program that operates it is highly developed and seems free of bugs. On takeoff it hovers like it’s on a pole, even in a breeze. The motors seem strong, are reliable and after hours of flying they are still working well and sounding normal. The craft, overall. Is well made, is high quality in assembly and design. Operating the craft on your phone is great and the system they’ve designed is good, intuitive, easy to understand and taking pics and working and saving pics using their system is easy. The picture quality is pretty good when the light is ample but grainy at dusk or in heavy shade. Videos are not shaky at all, really a nice feature. One of my only improvements might be to eliminate the maximum altitude setting which can’t be changed by the user. Max altitude is 9.9 meters. So, as I learn to fly a drone the Tello is a fine flying machine that is forgiving, well made, has great features, is priced right, is rugged and is great fun. I recommend this item!

Smiling and flying within 15 minutes of having fully charged the battery. DJI tech gives the Tello ultra stable flight characteristics, the drone is programable and customisable, andyour newer smartphone can be the controller, but I found the Gamesir T1d controller($35+/-) more sensitive to small inputs. Best Buy and the Dji store have controllers for android and iphone. I found a cool case for it and also use a Xiaomi Mi wifi extender($10+/-) with a small USB powerbank($10+/-) to get 100m or so of unobstructed range to extend my control which is otherwise limited to the range of your phone's wifi. I liked mine enough to buy 2 more, 1 for my cousin, and another as a lender to friends so we can fly together :)

This is the most straight forward easy to fly stable drone I have ever seen. The video quality is great, the stability is amazing and the app is easy to use. For a hundred bucks its the way to fly. I like it a lot. Flight time is about 12-13 minutes. and the battery loads effortlessly .

This drone is well build to be more stable in wind, I love it to play with and kids like it more. Camera quality of video is very good. Issues with this drone is 1. After some days like 10 days of usage, one of the propeller stopped working. 2. WiFi will keep on drop after few meters. 3. Video recording will have breaks. Over all good drone for kids to play with.
