Power brick ......

Prmath331 · Mar 28, 2019

The Tello is charged via a small connection on the side. What if some kind of power brick were mounted atop the Tello and a short cable from the portable power brick to the charging port. Seems like the battery would have a long supply of external power...... Just thought I’d ask. TIA

This increases the weight of the drone and also changes the aerodynamics. I'm afraid that you won't have a longer flight time. Apart from that, the Tello will become lazier if it takes off at all. So you certainly won't have much fun with it.

You can try that and then report. Maybe I am wrong.

Thank you. The old guy was just thinking out loud ?
