Hi...thanks! Yeah I have the Xiaomi too, the white one? Ive heard that one key is to get it away from your phone to really extend range...I tried it with a power bar (cellphone battery). Not sure about any more range...It was a windy day... I am curious what you mean by fast mode helped you rescue your drone? I have found that being able to land...or find that button fast has gotten me out of trouble..even if I exit it later. it seems to stablilize it.

You know KarlosDaishi, that little 80gram drone really takes some great shots doesn't it? I've got a Canon camera that this little drone will give a run for the money!! LOL just kidding but it really does do an excellent job with pictures, but the person taking them is as important as the scenery their taking. Good Pics!
Thank you.
I was saying something very similar to the wife the other day, in the respect that unless I need the zoom of my DSLR lenses, my phone is capable of as good, if not better pictures than my 'normal digital camera.
Image quality wise, I'm really impressed with the Tello. Bang for buck its probably the best photography tool I own.
Would a little higher megapixel count be appreciated, hell yeah - but that would up the cost.
Well, today was a disaster.
Got it in my head to try flying without the prop guards. It was both a blessing and a curse...
Flew for about 5 mins, had a close brush with a tree. Decided to try and take one last pic, the video feed froze and the Tello started flying away from me towards a massive tree.
I tried to fly out of the way but hit 'down' instead of back. Straight into a branch.
Luckily, the drone bounced down from the tree all the way to the ground but I lost 3 propellers, and I'd already lost one.
Oh well.. I've ordered a new set, but in the mean time I'm grounded.

any idea on when this update will be available? I spent a day with mates down the beach playing football and snapping away on the Tello and when I got home found nothing but greyed out boxes. I thought it was defective or the sea air had caused this effect, needless to say, I was disappointed as this was straight out of the box with the latest firmware update. cheers.
New blades arrived so it would only be right to test them.
Using xaomi repeater plugged into the OTG socket on my phone. Getting 100m+ before losing signal.
Going to try using powerbar tomorrow.
30m up no problem, interesting to see that the greenfly infestation at ground level is still showing at that height.
An internet donut for anyone identifying the song.

Just for a change, a photo of my tello 
(Taken with the phone that was flying it, happily hovered whilst I snapped the shot)
And a quick video test... this was range extender on, airplane mode and Bluetooth location disabled. No prop guards, which seems to increase speed and responsiveness.

Found a different open space for lunch today. 
You can see the sea on this one.
As you can see, the wind at that height was knocking it off balance slightly

Thanks. Flying off the quayside in gusty wind is one way to make sure you're awake before work:-D
When the boot comes in?
Lovely photos, must take mine to the coast soon (and brave the winds).
