Of all the Microdrones, is the Tello the besr bang for the buck?

For ~100 is this the best one for FPV free roam or is the Zero tech dobby?

I have had several other microdrones, and IMO the Tello is by far the best

Absolutely, for $99 not only flying but the photography. Expect firmware updates. Only downside to me is that it must not have winds- must be calm winds

What do you guys think of the PITTA? PITTA - Transformative Autonomous 4K Selfie Drone

Yes, I have had a couple of microdrones some time ago. I even made frankenstein quads to improve flight time: moved the internals of a Hubsan H107D ( direct drive) into a Syma X11 (geared drive). Add some special antennas, amplifiers, etc and I could go 600-700m and 12 minutes with a tiny FPV quad. Fun, but fragile and a lot of work.

Now all I need is Tello and a wifi extender (OK, not doing 600m but 200-250m are reliable).
Yes,Tello is by far the best micro drone I have seen.


@PITTA: Anything not required for flying, and even if its just connectors to the other base, will cost flight time and performance.
Also its all about the software both in the quad and the app. I now have a Bebop 2, Dobby and Tello. Dobby has the best camera but is a desaster otherwise mainly due to software.
