    Tello Swarm Applications

    I agree, The Robomaster TT and Mind+ is the best way to go. Mind+ has a graphic interface that gives you many commands that you need to do a swarm. and formation flying. You may have to look into DFROBERTS, as I think they wrote the Mind+ software and refer to it often. We did give up and went...

    Retransmit drone video?

    We do that all the time with videos form Autel EVO 2 with the Autel live deck. I believe we tried it in the past with a tablet (our tables also have an HDMI output) controlling the Tello and on as Zoom session with a screen view. If I recall, it worked well.
