    Updated Tello app

    I did! Bought a Gamesir T1. It works well with the 'Octopus' app. I'm flying with tactile stick controls via T1 rather than the virtual joysticks in the Tello app.

    Hello from Jakarta, Indonesia!

    Hey BigGuzz! Welcome to the world of drones. The Tello is a wonderful introduction to drone flying. Excellent choice for your first drone. It is so much fun to fly! I have a Mavic Pro and it is amazing. I purchased the Tello to hone in on flight skills indoors when outdoor environment isn't...

    GameSir T1s not working

    Download the app 'Octopus'. I downloaded that app today and am flying the Tello via a Gamesir T1.

    Tello Video Issues With Bluetooth Controllers

    Not true! I received info from another member that Tello will work with Gamesir devices (T1 in my case). There is an app called 'Octopus' that integrates Wi-Fi and Bluetooth so the Tello can be controlled via a Gamesir controller. I'm totally giddy that I can now fly the Tello with tactile...

    Gamesir T1d review.

    Yes! Download the Octopus app! You can fly the Tello with a Gamesir T1 gamepad with augumentation of the Octopus app.!!! I did it today and I'm so happy! Don't need the virtual joysticks in the Tello app. Only thing I noticed is that I couldn't fly FPV for some reason.

    Tello Video Issues With Bluetooth Controllers

    It works, it works, it WORKS!!! I downloaded the Octopus app., added the Tello app as a game; connected the T1 via Bluetooth and the WiFi for the Tello. Had been flying the Tello earlier and had maybe 2% battery power. The Tello started to do a forced landing, I push the left stick forward and...

    Tello Video Issues With Bluetooth Controllers

    Thank you. Ill try to navigate around the Chinese mumbling and use the video to guide me. By the way, what device is that in the video? I have a Gamesir T1 and Ryze says that is not compatible with the Tello.

    Updated Tello app

    I recently updated the Tello app. Previously I experienced serious video lag while flying FPV. Just flew today and lag is all but gone!! I flew seamlessly from one room to another via FPV. I'm using an LG Rebel 3 Android phone. Has anyone else experienced better video feed after updating the...

    Tello Video Issues With Bluetooth Controllers

    Really Clinton?! You were able to connect the Tello to a Gamesir device? I have the Gamesir T1 and hadn't been successful controlling the drone with it. Please forward a step by step on how to get the controller to link with the Tello.

    I updated my new-in-the-box Tello to FW 01.03.18.03 -- the result is that it fails to launch

    No, its not an automatic update. You have to choose to update from the Tello app while connected to the Tello. The above firmware version 01.03.18.01 is current, I believe. If you have that, you must've selected that in the app to obtain it.

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

    Had something similar happen the other day. My Tello and fridge had a tiff. Fridge won and three props came flying off, one broken. Check overhead AND appliances too, lol!

    Did you recently replace any of your props? If a prop is incorrectly matched to the motor, lift may fail? I , too, uploaded the new firmware without any issues. In fact, the Tello seems to be a little more stable.

    Eureka! I've nearly mastered flying with the virtual joysticks ...

    You get big starting from home.

    It's a miracle: my "dead" first Tello came back to life!

    I left mine in auto too. Still very jumpy video feed.
