I feel ya totally but I'm not taking anything away from the tello. I truly think this drone which I only paid $79 for is worth it!!
However having a drone you can move a couple of miles is more satisfying.
Hello Fellow Tello Pilot and Virginian,
I'm sort of in the same boat about unsatisfying after owning a DJI Phantom 1 about 4 fours years ago.
I'm trying to soften my wife up enough for me to spend for the DJI Mavic pro. (distance and 4K is my goal)
