This drone is compact, responsive, and of good quality. The pictures get a little blown out in too much light but overall look great.

I bought this as a Christmas gift. As soon as the giftee turned it on and tried taking videos with it, they come out black and white with a lot of red and green lines in it, but pictures look completely OK. He has an older phone with an older Android version. I tried it on my Pixel 3 fully expecting for it to work just fine, but the Tello app wouldn't even open, it just keeps crashing on me. I noticed the app needed to use the drone hasn't been updated since January 2019, and all of the bad reviews are due to the fact that the app won't work on phones with Android 10.
It is a really nice beginner drone, *if* you have an older phone and have no intentions of updating the Android version. It's very responsive to the controls and takes fairly good indoors pictures even in poor lighting.
It's just frustrating to have been misled by all of the good reviews saying how amazing this drone it. It truly is good, but the fact that you're spending almost $100 for something that can only use it by downloading an app that hasn't be updated in almost a full year makes no sense.

My son wanted a drone because I have the Mavic Pro so he saved up his money and bought his own drone. I must say that I was impressed by how easy it was to operate. The only problem was that you have to buy the remote separate

This was a Christmas present for the kids. While not the most expensive or high tech drone, it is a good entry level one.

This is a great drone to learn to fly with - works like any other DJI drone. Good for indoor and outdoor use. If you're thinking of a Mavic Pro or the like, grab this first and learn to fly before risking your $1500 one.

Looking to buy a drone but want to get some experience before crashing $1k? Pick this drone up and learn to fly . Best part is you can fly this inside . Stable and steady a great drone for the first time flyer.

This little drone lived up to the billing! Great for beginners in that it gives you the sense of what it's like to handle a larger drone due to its stability and tight controls. I bought another similarly sized drone and it was uncontrollable. Great bang for your buck. When the Tello is outside, beware of any wind. Since the quad is so light, almost any level of wind will cause it to drift. Be careful if you're around other people or roadways.
