When I originally got my Tello about 5 months ago, I intended to use it around the house and in the back yard when I couldn't fly my 'real' drones. I was amazed at how stable the VPS was in the house, but I quickly got bored of flying it around the house and actually enjoyed flying my $20 Eachine H8 mini (no VPS, no FPV) more since it was more of a challenge to keep it in the air. I did fly outside a few times in the winter but found that the lack of detail in the snow almost always made it difficult for the VPS to work and I was always fighting the Tello to keep it under control.
Now that the snow is gone and the weather has warmed up a bit, it is like night and day. The VPS works very well and even holds position quite well in some fairly windy conditions (as long as I keep it low). I am amazed at how versatile the Tello is. I have flown it along paths, under tree branches, and over streams taking videos and photos. I can fly my Tello almost anywhere and where I would never fly my Spark or Phantom 3 Standard. I have even had it to its max height of 30m.
What I like about the Tello is its simplicity - it's quick and easy to get in the air and unlike most people, I am glad it doesn't have an SD card slot on board (One less step to go through).
