Only flew it twice. Second time by a lake. It kept floating away from me towards the water. No matter what I did it just didnt come towards me and gave me a warning message asking to land ASAP it was full battery and after few seconds it went out of range. Couldnt retrieve it. I dont know if it kept flying or just came down on water. I was so upset as it was my first drone. Went to Good guys and told them what happened. Ideally I should be reimbursed because it was a faulty drone as it should not keep flying out of the range as per the manual. Somehow it did and I just spent 169 dollars for nothing. They wanted to see the drone to check if it was faulty FFS. Drone can capture decent images for a 5MP camera. But the videos are crap shaky low res. Dont waste your money just buy a proper drone.

Good little gadget. A little hard to fly in the wind. Good value with the extra battery.

The Ryze Tech Tello is a fun, simple drone to fly, but its programming feature is poorly executed, and its battery life is short.

Small; fast drone; Easy to control; Comfortable remote control

Scratch programming language is difficult to set up; Battery life is short

Very stable and good picture and video. But since one motor is already slower than the others I believe I will have to replace sooner than later. Also one episode or twice I crashed the drone and it seemed to lose its way(flying into the ceiling or dropping to the floor for no apparent reason.

The Ryze Tello isn't for serious video work or long-distance flight, but that's okay. There are plenty of capable, and more expensive, drones out there that scratch that itch, such as the DJI Mavic Air.

Inexpensive; Easy to fly; Programmable via Scratch; Bluetooth remote control compatibility; Automated flight modes

Pixelated, low-quality video; Limited control range; No GPS or return-to-home capability

So, I went into this with pretty low expectations. I have flown a lot of drones and at this price point AND without a controller, I didn't expect it to be anything special. I was wrong, this drone is actually pretty awesome. First, the build in flight modes, work.

I bought the Tello a couple of weeks ago, and my son and I have had lots of fun with it. Camera is ok for looking and getting s different perspective, but it's no comparison to what phone cameras can do these days. Camera doesn't perform very well in low light.

This could be classified as a toy drone, but it could also be classified very realistically as a "beginner's drone" too, since it handles SO similarly to a Spark or Mavic Pro. If you own a larger drone and one a little for-fun flyer, this will feel very at-home.

I was a little surprised at the smaller size of the drone when it arrived but not alarmingly. It arrived quickly (within a week) and in good shape. while charging the battery (two hours) I, read over the materials that came with it, downloaded the iPhone app for controlling it and prepared for my...

Great little bit of gear. Very easy to use and all the stability of the bigger DJI products but nimble enough and only 80g so can smash it into your mate without leaving a bruise. Multiple one swipe tricks mode, plenty of fun at a budget price!
