DJI Ryze Tech Tello - Mini Drone Quadcopter UAV for Kids Beginners 5MP Camera HD720 Video 13min Flight Time Education Scratch Programming Toy Selfies, Powered, White

Purchased the Tello with controller so my 7 year old and I could fly it indoors. We have a Spark but I'm scared to fly it inside, and the Tello is a safer and less expensive toy to crash. It was super easy to get into the air; the app works really well and the controller is a nice way to control it.There is the slightest delay from bluetooth when using the controller, but responsive enough my 7 year old has no trouble flying it. The Tello is so stable, we've had no issues with flying inside the house. We fly it up the stairs, down the stairs, and into the kitchen when mom's making dinner (which doesn't make her too happy).The camera is decent, good enough to take pictures and some basic video but nothing spectacular. We really haven't tried out the range outside, but I do know it doesn't like flying in any kind of breeze at all which makes sense given the size and weight of it.This weekend we took it over to our friends house, and they have four children. They all took turns flying it, and subsequently crashing it multiple times into the wall. Most of the time it would just bounce off the wall, but several times they managed to hit the corner of a wall or something that would turn the drone over and it would hit the hardwood floor from five to seven feet up in the air.The resulting damage was a broken propeller guard, even though it continued to function and the propellers and battery would alternately pop off . Simply putting them back on was enough to get the Tello back in the air with no ill side affects. Kid tested, dad approved.Overall I really like this little quadcopter; it's a great first drone and is fun to fly indoors and smaller areas. I would definitely buy another should we ever kill this one.

A few thoughts I want to share about the Tello; I have owned a number of cheap drones in the past, all of which were fun to fly however they just didnt hold up and were very difficult to fly in a house. Many claim to be able to hover on their own yet don't.Now about the Tello-This is a drone that will take some getting used to. When you first take it out of the box you probably wont read the directions and will end up with big problems...just don't. Allow me to explain:Turn on Wi-Fi and Bluetooth then open the Tello app. Now before you try to connect up the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and screw everything up do this...open the Tello app, wait for the prompt to connect the Tello, then connect to the Tello network and go back to the app, select the Bluetooth controller and you should be good to go. A few days or so of practice indoors with a roll cage and you will be steering in flight like a pro. It hovers. You can set the controller down, go to the bathroom, grab another tasty beverage and come back and it will still be hovering in the same exact place and height. I invested in a few batteries and the propeller guard. The big roll cage type is best when learning to fly it. Cant really hurt it with the roll cage on. The Samsung goggles are awesome for VR or FPV.A friend has the Mavic and this drone app is like a stripped down version of that one. Flight time is as stated in slow mode. A lot of fun to fly and take pictures. Superior to many other drones at the same price point or more.I highly recommend this drone for the home and indoors. Get a space, mini or mavic for outdoors.For the price I give this drone 5 stars.Best bang for your buck

This was a pretty nice little drone when it worked. But I spent about half my time trying to get the battery to connect. I bought 7 batteries and it was never consistent whether a battery would connect or not. It seems the problem was with the drone. I finally contacted RYZE customer service but they said they couldn’t provide free service because the drone was “open box” meaning “ has been repaired by someone else, or a second-hand drone”. It was my understanding that I was buying a new drone. It is way past being able to return. I’m not even sure who to blame…Amazon? DJI? RYZE? I guess I just eat this one.

El Dron Tello, buena construcción, peso ligero, buena autonomía de la batería para este modelo.No lo puedo recomendar, tuve muchos problemas para configurarlo con el celular, cuando logre que funcionara, era muy inestable, se perdía la señal constantemente quedando el dron sin control alguno a la deriva con altas posibilidades de perderlo, compre el control Game SirT1 supuestamente compatible con el Tello y lo mismo muy complicado de configurar, no acepta varios modelos de celular.Eso sí, las pocas veces que lo logre volar sin problemas, logre muy buenas fotos y se dejaba controlar fácil.Tal vez ahora hallan mejorado la aplicación para que funcione con cualquier celular o con el control GameSirT1 el cual es mejor, ya que a través del celular es incómodo controlarlo a través de la pantalla táctil.Mi recomendación es invertir en un Dron Dji de más categoría y que traiga su propio control de fábrica de esta manera no tendremos problemas para controlarlo.
