    Flying over water

    I often fly over boats and water. A couple things I have learned. Flying high 50 feet plus, is better. Having a shoreline, docks, or boats below Tello seem to allow VPS to hover the Tello. Moving high and fast over water, say across a small river also works for me. Anything below about 50...

    Night Flight with TelloFPV app

    Raw footage from telloFPV app and a night flight...got to say this is awesome... if Tello would have come out with this software from the beginning... anyway enjoy my selfie raw night flight. Trying some new features from the software.

    Tello FAA registration

    It seems all the rules changed in 2019. I can now get LAANC authorizations with a couple different apps. I love this part for my drone fleet. But the original question above was ...'does a tello require registration?' If you go to FAADroneZone.faa.gov you cannot find the old 5.5oz minimum...

    New Light Mod

    This works well. Place the tello in a pitch black room, control from outside the room... all good fun! Why? just because... Outside in the dark, it flies well if you stay within 6 feet of the ground. Wind? ok if ground has contrast with the downward pointing light. Flown higher and it loses...

    New Light Mod

    Measured at .3 oz each. Ill try to find a gram scale. If I round up, still less than 20 grams for both. They do look big on the tello.

    New Light Mod

    Follow me mode official reply from Ryze

    So, the DJI Osmo mobile uses an app for “follow me” type feature. Works well. The brains for follow me can be in the device...just thinking out loud.

    WiFi connections

    yes, only one device had control at a time but both were connected to the Tello wifi at the same time. Same holds true when I use the range extender, blue light indicates a tello connection, yet I can directly connect phone to Tello and can control Tello, I can then immediately change settings...

    WiFi connections

    I noticed an anomaly while flying from A WiFi extender, I could connect my phone to the Tello even when the Tello was connected to the WiFi extender. So I just tried two apple devices at the same time,. Both would show connected to the Tello WiFi. Both would load the Tello app. But only one...

    Gamesir T1D- anyone have one yet?

    No, I can't make it work. Tried a couple of things, but the TD1 is connected inside the Tello app and not from the Bluetooth menu...I tried connecting to bluetooth on the ipad first and then starting DJI4...Nope...oh, now I have to repair the Spark controller... kind of a pain. Spark...

    Word of warning...

    I also have flown the Tello over water! Once the drone lost positioning, drifted quickly down wind and ... out of range. When I reacquired the signal, I could not see the drone...so I increased altitude and looked around until I could tell with first person view how to return. It is easy to...
