Drone that lives upto expectation of DJI
Great little drone that lives upto DJI reputation although it is made by Ryze but powered by DJI ,This is my first ever drone and very pleased with it so far.You can programme this drone to carry out instructions as per code if you know how to do it.Picture quality is great for the price ,video quality not upto the mark but still good enough for a first timer beginner who like to learn flying and exploring different modes.You can install other apps forexample TELLO FPV and TELLOME which are paid apps which can unlock its full potential.If you want to test the limits and take great shots ,try using Wifi extender ,in my case i use xiaomi miwifi but be extra careful this little drone is not made to fly in high winds,not even light winds ,it can drift away very easily due to its small form factor and weight.For flying higher than 10 meters ,big ground,field or area is recommended .Video sometimes get choppy at heights this is basically due to signal interference forexample nearby electrical boards,surrounding wifi,You can get best out of it in an open field where there is no electrical intereference,wifi extender does help alot if used properly kept at a small distance from phone and a little higher than ground level.Overall a very good little drone for the price offered ,Get extra batteries as you wouldnt want to run out of juice in the middle of fun flying ,a full charge offers roughly 10 mins of flight.I would fully recommend who is new to drone arena and get the taste how it feels like and decide whether it is your thing or not.

Don't trust your initial impression
For some time now, I've wanted to own a DJI but I couldn't really justify spending around £400 if you go for their cheaper DJI Spark. Although Tello is supposedly not actually manufactured by DJI it is "powered" by DJI so I was sure that some of that DJI technology would be included in this drone and certainly for just under £100 it made the decision much easier.Here goes my initial impression:It’s definitely much smaller than I expected. I dare to say, I even thought it looked...."cheap". Somehow, I kept thinking about other cheap drones I've seen around that come in a cardboard box with a huge window to see the item without having to unbox it. Once it's out of the box its different. It feels very light but sturdy. The drone is pre-built, so all you have to do is install the battery, download the Tello App on your device and you're good to go.... unless ....well, unfortunately you have to charge the battery first.This almost ruined my pre-excitement - I was already planning my flight route. Anyhow...charging the battery it was. To do this, you need to install the battery, get a microUSB cable you might have lying around somewhere (yes, no cable is provided) and wait for about 1 hour to an hour and a quarter. Not too bad actually. I was fearing the worst and thought it would take much longer.OK then, 1 hour and a bit after the unboxing and with a full battery we are good to go.The App is very easy to install and it barely takes a few minutes to install the drone. Controls are also very straight forward. There's a short intro that I would recommend everyone to view with all the basic controls. Everything is within finger reach on your device screen (considering you're using a phone). The default settings worked quite well. I’m not a drone specialist but I didn’t feel like I had to tamper any of the initial settings. I guess that as I get more experience using the drone I will probably discover settings I feel more comfortable with.There is a bit of latency with the controls so just consider this when flying. The drone will not respond immediately so just be cautious at the beginning with how you fly. You’re more likely to crash until you get used to the slight response time between phone controls and drone.The camera on the drone is forward-facing and fixed, so you'll need to consider that when flying and taking pictures. The quality of photos is actually not bad. I think they go up to 5MP. Outdoor photos are fairly sharp and indoor photos are not as good but I guess it has something to do with the amount of ambient light. As for the video quality, it does look a bit grainy and I experienced quite a bit of frame skipping, but overall, I was quite happy with the result. It’s definitely not a drone that should be expected to take incredible pictures or videos – I guess that’s where the more expensive drones come in play. This is a fun toy drone with a decent camera and very easy to use and learn.The battery last around 15 minutes which isn't too bad considering that other more expensive drones will only be around the 25-minute mark. Considering it only takes around an hour to re-charge I guess it’s ok. Personally though, for £18 I will probably end up buying a second battery to enjoy a longer flight time – you’ll also need to consider the battery life on your device, so one way or the other you won’t be able to go on for ever.Final impressions:PROS• Small size, very lightweight• Very easy setup - Download app, connect to drone via wifi and of you go.• Drone comes with all 4 propellers installed and propeller guards. The propeller guards can be removed if desired, but keeping them on at the beginning allows you to play around and protect your drone against any accidents until you feel you have a good control of the drone.CONS• The battery it comes with was not charged – around 1h to 1.15h to fully charge• microUSB required to charge the battery not included• Max recommended flight height 10m• Video is grainy and has some frame skippingOverall, I was pleasantly surprised. It’s a decent quality drone for under £100. Controls are easy to learn and it’s a very enjoyable experience. Photos aren’t the best but it does the job. It’s a great, fun, small and quick drone with some decent DJI magic.

Great for beginners!
This drone is simply amazing, from being very stable to having the best camera for the price. As shown in the pictures, this drone is amazing for those who wanna take photos in the air at a low price, it would be nice though if you got a couple extra battery’s considering it is £100 as each battery gets me just over 8-9 minutes of battery life other than that though it’s a great drone and great fun to fly!update: make sure to stock up on propellers as they come off pretty easily and it gets very hard to find them
