    Adjustable Tello Mirror

    I did a search both here and on Google and didn't see anything. Has anybody come up with an adjustable Tello mirror? I've seen the ones that point straight down which is a good idea but was wondering about more flexibility so that you could point other than straight down. Or a set of mirrors...

    tello newbie

    Sport Mode is your friend on windy days, it gives it more power to fight the wind.

    First quadcopter!

    Yeah, make sure they're on snugly before taking off. It won't prevent prop loss but it helps.

    Lost my Tello out to sea

    Volatello, I do like the Tello aside from the 2 things I mentioned above. I'd love it if they'd put in a micro sd card slot in it and if they'd kick up the camera to at least 1080p. The rest I'm satisfied with. The Breeze is quite a bit bigger, I love the portability of the Tello. I was...

    Lost my Tello out to sea

    Bigger isn't necessarily where I want to go, I like the small size of the Tello. Mikeg

    Lost my Tello out to sea

    The title says it all. Gonna replace it but wondering if there's something better out there. What would you buy if you were buying a new one? The only things I wish were different about the tello are a higher rez camera and a micro sd slot. Thanks, Mikeg

    Gamesir T1s

    I have a Samsung Galaxy 8+ which came with an OTG adaptor that allows you to use a standard USB cable. mikeg

    How does the Tello remain so still

    A neat experiment I did one time was to take a gameboard and launch the tello above it. I then slid the board around and the tello moved to maintain the position above the same section of the board. mikeg

    Hello from Upstate NY

    I've got the Gamesir T1s which is connected to my droid by the OTG plug. I find it helps. You can also go with a bluetooth controller but that supposedly increases interference of the video. mikeg

    Hello From Manassas, Virginia

    Taking it on the bike is a great idea. I'm going to have to steal that idea when we finally thaw out. And welcome aboard! mikeg

    Flying without propellers protection

    I always use the guards inside but only sometimes outside. I haven't had it for long though. Mikeg

    My setup

    As someone else mentioned, the $100 Tello quickly becomes $200. I'm not complaining though, I'm enjoying it too much. I'd rather be out flying it but today we have 20-30mph winds. Figures since it's the first sunny and moderately warm day(40F) in weeks. So i thought I'd show off my...

    Discussion - Tello's Value Proposition in 2019

    Having gotten the $99 deal for the Tello Boost pack right after Christmas, I think it's a deal, even with adding the controller, wifi extender, extra props and case. I too like the small size. At some point I may look into a larger drone but I like the portability and inconspicuousness of the...
