    Tello altitude

    My main reason for buying an Autel EVO. No big brother geofencing at all. Have enough 'big brother' stuff to deal with as it is, I don't feel like I should actually purchase it as well. Bet the EVO will do over 15 meters in India. In fact, contrary to FAA regs, in the Evo specs it lists...

    Lake landing

    I've found that flying on a hot day (like today here) is always an issue. Tello's like it cooler. My EVO on the other hand had cooling fans in the drone body and the controller. The Tello gets hot, it wants to be done as in now.

    Gizmo's own Path

    If I tried to operate my EVO in that confined space in the last video, I'd probably cash it multiple times. Nice video's.

    Beej flying the heck out of the Tello

    Actually, it's fine the way it is. If I want distance or altitude, I Have my Autel EVO and soon a FIMI too. I may at some point get an extender and a controller but for now, all is good. Hobby is certainly less expensive than custom built firearms. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Beej flying the heck out of the Tello

    The other person I fly with (we share the Tello) has a high buck DJI as well and like me, fears crashing it. Fun little pocket drone for sure.

    spare battery storage.

    Considering how inexpensive they are (say compared to my EVO batteries), cost is inconsequential.

    Beej flying the heck out of the Tello

    Had it out yesterday again and went through all 3 batteries, I plopped it in the freezer to cool it down between battery changes....lol Works quite well. We tagged team flew it with 2 smart phones and 2 pilots, we each logged in separate and out so one at a time but it got a workout. It will...

    spare battery storage.

    Never gave it much thought actually. I just top all of mine up a couple hours prior to flying. Usr the 3 battery charger on a USB cable. Not that they last a long time. About, maybe 1/3rd the time my EVO lasts.

    Beej flying the heck out of the Tello

    Got it out and started flying it and really have flown it every day. Inside and outside and I'm getting pretty adept with it. I may get my EVO out next week and fiddle with that. I have not crashed the Tello yet but being an old fart (70), I'm probably overly cautious. Glad I bought the...

    Bought a Tello combo package so I don't paste my Autel Evo

    Finally got some time to fly it. Works on my Android pocket phone and my Lenovo Tab 10. Got dark outside so I moved inside. The cats find it very interesting, my wife, not so much. I almost gave her a haircut with it. Glad I got the combo pack, the Tello battery don't last very long but I...

    Bought a Tello combo package so I don't paste my Autel Evo

    I also downloaded the other Tello app but I see it's not free. How much is it and how much better is it? I have the Lifthor tablet mount for the EVO, quite bulky, especially with the hood on.

    Bought a Tello combo package so I don't paste my Autel Evo

    I will. I cannot believe how tiny it is. Fits in my hand. The EVO won't. I was very hesitant about buying any DJI product, I don't like Geofencing at all, why I bought the Autel in the first place, I'm an adult (70) and the EVO will have a commercial drone pilot license in force when I fly...

    Bought a Tello combo package so I don't paste my Autel Evo

    Bought the Telllo as an inexpensive alternative to crashing my expensive EVO and having my wife relegate me to sleeping in the garage. I decided that is I crash the Rello, it was better than crashing the EVO from a pocketbook standpoint. Haven't flown it yet (just got it yesterday) but will...
