Can Tello fly over water ? ... Yes it can !

[raulvolador]

ATTENTION: Flying Tello over water is VERY DANGEROUS, but I realized it's possible, Tello can do it !

As you must know, Tello's Optical Flow needs a clear and stable soil pattern for working. Flying over water VPS can get confused. Tello's path becomes erratic even it can start a catastrophic autolanding.

In this video-adventure you can join me crossing the river. I hope you learn some tricks for helping Tello flying over water.

Let's go, and enjoy...

Excellent! I couldn't quite understand what video format you switched to and back?
Thanks!

I'm glad you liked it.

During video post-production I mixed smartphone screenrecording with Tello live recording.

In my case, Tello recording is higher quality. Screenrecording bitrate is user selectable into TelloFPV video settings screen.

All the best.
