Review on Tello CP PT 00000252 01 Quadcopter Drone by Sarah Wilson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

What he does, he does very well.

IF YOU ARE CONNECTED TO WIFI TELLO ON ANDROID BUT THE APP IS BLACK DISABLE YOUR PHONE DATA. He does his job very well. This is part of the problem. Cheap quadcopters are difficult to fly. My loved ones are very capable. This one is great for learning to fly, but it doesn't do much and isn't a challenge. By "busy" I mean that without GPS you can't program flight routes or return to base or whatever. They are also limited to a height of 10m. Without a built-in memory card, any picture or video will be degraded by the Wi-Fi signal, so no matter how good the camera is, unique high-altitude shots or videos aren't as good as they could be. The high-speed mode is limited by how well you can see the drone, as the camera is always tilted down (and lags a bit), making it impossible to fly past the camera. Of course, if you fix all this, the price will increase, and you will get a drone 5-10 times more expensive. Don't get me wrong, it connects well, flies well, takes pretty good shots from angles my camera can't. It's damn stable in light winds and uses a chassis camera and other sensors to stabilize its position. It weighs less than 250g, so you don't need to register it in the US. The on-screen controls are good enough that if I had to repeat it, I wouldn't buy a T1d disposable controller that doesn't do anything other than Tello.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • No instructions
