Hi there, I am wanting to get my son a DJI Tello for his 12th birthday. He has a Samsung tablet and a PS4 controller. Can he use these to control it? Should I buy the cage to go around it? Anything else a very new beginner who knows nothing should know? Thanks so much for any guidance!
 
As long as the tablet is fairly recent (i.e. not older than say 4-5 years) it should work OK. The Ryze Tello app will not work with the PS4 controller, for that he will need another app.

Cages don't work.
He should keep prop guards on indoors and start slowly. Prop guards should be off when outdoors, these make fighting the wind harder and clip to trees.

Most important: Never fly high in any wind. The wind is MUCH stronger up in the air than at ground level.


But no worries, at age 12 he will get everything sorted in a heartbeat. Just make sure he doesn't get too confident outdoors, its easy to loose tello to the wind.
