Tello is relatively new and has flown well out of the box. I checked all your suggestions and found no problems. Thanks for the reply.How long have you had the Tello? A lot of mileage on the motors?
The props spin freely on their own? They're straight, not bent? They all seem to stop spinning at the same time? Props should have a slight gap and not touching the motor housing?
No debris, hair or grass caught on the motor shaft(s)? Hot to the touch? Use a IR temp gun.
Yes, Bluetooth is disabled and device is on airplane mode. IMU was also calibrated..Have you tried disabling Bluetooth (if possible) and enabling Airplane Mode on the phone? Possibly interference.
Every time. When I issue the takeoff it flies up about 12 inches then immediately lands rather abruptly with motors still running and then the motors spool up and it lifts off again over and over. It does not respond immediately to the land command.
Sounds like an ESC (electronic speed controller) issue. If that, not an user replaceable part.
Perhaps reflash the firmware as it could have been a corrupt download/upload. Try a Center of Gravitation calibration, although the Tello has to be in a hover state to accomplish that.
You say it's relatively new - any chance of exchanging it for a working unit with the merchant?
