    Almost lost it

    When I was a kid, a friend of mine lost a Frisbee in a tree. We started throwing another Frisbee at it to knock it loose. It wasn't long until we had two Frisbees stuck in the tree. I supposed, under the right conditions, you could attach a hook and a cord to another drone to try to retrieve...

    Almost lost it

    I usually get my crashed drones out of trees the same way I got the neighbor's cat out of a tree. With a shotgun. Crude, but effective. Seriously, I saw a guy getting a toy glider out of a tree with a very innovative method. He had put nylon shock cord on a tennis ball, and was throwing the...

    Multiple Drones

    I'm a grounded photographer. Love photography and do a lot of free work for non-profits when I'm not taking photos for the art and pleasure of it. I'd LOVE to be able to afford an Inspire or equivalent. I've seen them demo'd at drone shows, and they are truly impressive. There was a movie...

    Multiple Drones

    I've been impressed with the Tello. It's a very forgiving aircraft to fly. It looks a bit delicate, but I can tell you from personal experience, it's tough. I just got my spare batteries, so I'll be able to practice more between charging cycles (but the charging cycles will be longer, since...

    Tello Obstacle Avoidance (?)

    I don't think it's obstacle avoidance, like some of DJI's other drones. I've experimented with the Tello to see if it will try to avoid an obstacle. As near as I can tell, it doesn't. It DOES however shut itself down immediately if the IMU detects a sudden, unusual movement. Whether that's a...

    Sooo... I've just gotta ask... Why so many?

    Tello batteries now available

    Try the Dell website. I believe it's part number AA084135. $19USD plus reasonable shipping. I bet they ship to Canada.

    Any thoughts on patterns for better ground tracking?

    There are some guidelines in the Users Manual. They specifically tell you not to depend on areas with regular patterns. For my own part, my own utterly unscientific observations, is that the Tello seems to like a field of view where there is NOT a regular pattern that's not directional. If I...

    I'm removing the battery from Tello when not charging it

    Back to the original thread, sort of. If you're one of those still looking for batteries, check Dell, the computer company. I don't know why they have them in their inventory, but they do have them. If you do a search on something like "Tello Batteries" on their website, they won't pop up. But...

    Tello batteries now available

    I just stumbled on some Tello batteries on the Dell.com website of all places. For $19.00, no less. If you go there and search for Tello batteries, or some variation of that, they won't pop up, but search on Dell part number AA084135, and they'll appear. I didn't order any myself. Already...

    I wouldn't say I'm "missing" work, Bob.

    I was thinking about taking mine to work, but I work amongs a bunch of engineers who have modified nerf guns. Battles between the sides of the cube farm rage at least once a day. The guys have modified the guns so they’ll easily shoot 50 feet. The Tello is pretty tough but I don’t think I...

    App is in Chinese – how to change language?

    Hi Donocracy, That's very weird. Perhaps an email to Ryze or DJI support would be helpful? They might email you the app in the language of your preference. Ryze tech support has been very helpful to me when I had some problems early on. I tried to figure out a way to send you the app, but...

    Difference Between the iOS and Android Tello App

    Not sure why you’re not seeing it on iOS app. Mine shows it at the very top, near the center.

    App is in Chinese – how to change language?

    I’m not sure how you acquired a Chinese language version of the app, but there are English versions on both app repositories. If you really want to use that Chinese app you’d have to use something like Google Translate to Translate the Chinese. The only problem there is that you’d have to keep...
