    CES 2020 - Tello 2?

    CES 2020 will soon be upon us - January 7-10, 2020: Home I was hoping Ryze might introduce a Tello 2 at the 2020 CES, but I unfortunately don't see them listed as an exhibitor: Exhibitor Directory - CES 2020 However, DJI is exhibiting: CES 2020 Exhibitor Directory Seems highly unlikely, but...

    Subtle rattle ... ?

    So far I fortunately haven't had any indications of bad vibrations, just that rattling sound. It seems to fly normally and the video looks fine, no jello. All 4 shafts seem to have the same amount of up/down play/movement and when I spin them by hand, I don't see an obvious indication of a bent...

    Subtle rattle ... ?

    Is a subtle rattle normal for a Tello when flying? I only have a few hours on mine and notice a subtle rattle while it is flying. Maybe it is typical of brushless motors? Anyone else's make the same rattling sound? To me it sounds like one of the motors, but I can't quite localize where the...

    Tello motors lifespan?

    Wow, 179, that is great! Do you keep track of each flight in some kind of log, or does the Tello app keep track of that for us automatically in some kind of flight log? If so, where? Thanks!

    Tello motors lifespan?

    Per this post: Brushed motors life expectancy (now with answer from Ryze) Ryze says Sounds like we should be getting at least 40 hours minimum. As a corporation, they have to be careful about what they promise, so hopefully they have used quality motors that have a long lifespan of use.

    Does anyone know the approximate lifespan we can expect of the Tello's motors? Are they rated for a minimum number of hours? Thanks!

    Indoor flying - ambient light?

    The only time I have the opportunity to fly the Tello indoors is in the evening. I always get a warning about there not being enough ambient light. I turn on all the lights and still get the warning. Is this typical for the Tello with artificial lighting? Does it need a lot of natural...

    Tello personal distance record 1248ft at 98ft

    Sorry, not quite understanding what you are saying here: Are you saying you used a Wi-Fi extender and flew the Tello backwards away from you to get this range? Thanks!
