I was helping a co-worker set up a new to her Tello this morning in the office.
She was up and flying and then mid-flight, lost Wifi connection to the drone. I think it was due to interference as it occurred directly under a wifi antenna for the office building.
At that point the drone just hovered, and she had no control.
We tried going into her phone settings and reconnecting to thre Tello wifi, which then showed as being connected, but in the Tello app, there was still no connection.
After a couple minutes of fiddling with the phone and Tello app trying to regain connection, I finally, carefully, caught the hovering drone and powered it off.
My question is... what is a person *supposed* to do in this circumstance to regain control of the drone? What if it happened to be hovering 10 feet off the ground, I wouldn't have been able to catch it.
