    Fly Away

    Yep, I also have been able to get out over 80m but that is far from normal. The range can vary greatly depending on conditions at the time. That’s why it’s important to watch the signal indicator, when it’s yellow it’s time to come back. Battery drop from 30% -5% in less than a second? If...

    Fly Away

    Happens quite often. Not really a flyaway, but more a blowaway. You had weak signal, rotated and as soon as the side of the Tello was facing the wind it was pushed a bit farther away and lost connection. When that happens the Tello will try to land, you no longer have any control, the wind does...

    4 in 1 Tello Battery Multi Charger.

    Are we sure it charges one battery at a time? The specifications printed on the back of the charger: “OUTPUT: DC 4.35V 4A (Branch Output 4.35V/1A)” So, if it’s charging one at a time, why would they make it 4 Amp and devide it? I have several multi port chargers that devide the amperage and...

    4 in 1 Tello Battery Multi Charger.

    The Tello battery is marked “Max Charge Voltage 4.35V” I’m using it and I’m very happy with it so far. My only concern (as with all genetic Chinese electronics) will it last.

    Tello $80 With 2nd Battery Free Shipping

    They are definitely legitimate. I’ve been ordering from them since early/mid 70s, long before internet. I used Abt, Adorama & B&H Photo, for photography equipment. Back then you shopped using full page ads in photo magazines. The ads listed hundreds of products, the print was so small you needed...

    I understand IF YOU have had bad experience with DJI. Personally, I have had three contacts with DJI Customer Service and I received nothing but stellar service.

    TELLO/FREE BATTERY BUNDLES

    Personally, I don’t think it’s anything to do with profit, but simply Australia’s tariff (import tax).
