    Easy peasy… good basic drone for my husband & kids

    This was a replacement for one that I bought my husband last Christmas & the dog attacked/bent. My kids & him love it…. Easy for them to use & i LOVE that it came w extra parts plus THREE batteries!! That alone made it worth 5 stars! Its more expensive than the other (this one was $40 vs $20 for the others) but so far its been well worth it. It supposedly has a year warranty too so that only added to its appeal! Cant wait to take it out w the kids & him! :)

    Great drone, fun for all ages

    Very small but easy and fun to fly. We bought it for my 7 YO birthday. He has had a true blast flying it. Downside is the 7 minute batter. It is nice that there are three offered. Difficulty is replacing the battery. It’s difficult for small kids to replace.

    Tons of Fun!

    Fun and easy to use. I bought this as a birthday gift for my boyfriend and he hasn't been able to put it down. It does take some finessing at first, but once you get the hang of it then it's all good. I do recommend looking up your local area's drone laws/rules just to make sure you fly in approved areas. Definitely lots of fun.

    Great option in this price range -- nice drone

    Great drone! My 13 year old loves it -- it's affordable but has features that you'll find on much more expensive drones. Altitude holding feature to maintain steady hover makes it really easy to fly -- my 10 year old can manage with no problem. Fun for the family.

    Nice drone for a nice price

    No this drone doesn't compete with $600+ price drones on the market but it does hold its own for the price point. Good for learning on as others have said. Will sway when there's strong wind so you need to be mindful of conditions. You won't cry though if you get this stuck in a tree and can't get it down before a torrential downpour.

    Fun new hobby!

    Great little drone for the price. It takes excellent quality pictures. The video is great too, but a little shaky because it has no gimbles. It bounces up and down a lot as you move forward. Set up is a little complicated, having to be calibrated before each use, but calibration becomes pretty routine after a few times. The reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that the battery takes a long time to charge, and I cannot find a spare battery to purchase anywhere. I have searched the internet and have not found a compatible battery. Overall I am happy with my purchase.

    The customer service for Snaptain is first class. As a new pilot, I had self-inflicted issues and Snaptain came through for me despite not needing to. The drone is easy to fly and pretty reliable.

    We try to fly it three or four times a week.

    Compact, yet mostly complete.

    This DJI Mini SE does everything you need in a drone and is so lightweight, it doesn't have to be registered with the FAA. Only drawback is no 4K video recording. But at this price, it's tough to complain.

    A Cut Above Quadcopter in its Pricerange

    I’ve had several small drones and quadcopters all under$100 and they all were underwhelming. This Tello is the bomb! The program that operates it is highly developed and seems free of bugs. On takeoff it hovers like it’s on a pole, even in a breeze. The motors seem strong, are reliable and after hours of flying they are still working well and sounding normal. The craft, overall. Is well made, is high quality in assembly and design. Operating the craft on your phone is great and the system they’ve designed is good, intuitive, easy to understand and taking pics and working and saving pics using their system is easy. The picture quality is pretty good when the light is ample but grainy at dusk or in heavy shade. Videos are not shaky at all, really a nice feature. One of my only improvements might be to eliminate the maximum altitude setting which can’t be changed by the user. Max altitude is 9.9 meters. So, as I learn to fly a drone the Tello is a fine flying machine that is forgiving, well made, has great features, is priced right, is rugged and is great fun. I recommend this item!

    Excellent starter drone

    This is a fantastic drone if you're just starting out. It flies incredibly stable, even outdoors so long as the wind isn't too strong. The first night I got it I made the mistake of trying to fly it at dusk. I crashed it into the back of a house around two stories high and it crashed to the ground and I thought for sure it was done. Wrong! There wasn't a scratch on it and it still worked perfectly. I've been going to an open field near me since to get used to flying it. The camera on it is serviceable, nothing that's gonna blow you away but that's to be expected at this price point. I'll upload some shots I've taken with it. Overall, it's an outstanding drone for 99$. Just keep your expectations realsitic at that price and you'll really enjoy it.

    Great starter drone :)

    Smiling and flying within 15 minutes of having fully charged the battery.

    DJI tech gives the Tello ultra stable flight characteristics, the drone is programable and customisable, andyour newer smartphone can be the controller, but I found the Gamesir T1d controller($35+/-) more sensitive to small inputs.

    Best Buy and the Dji store have controllers for android and iphone.

    I found a cool case for it and also use a Xiaomi Mi wifi extender($10+/-) with a small USB powerbank($10+/-) to get 100m or so of unobstructed range to extend my control which is otherwise limited to the range of your phone's wifi.

    I liked mine enough to buy 2 more, 1 for my cousin, and another as a lender to friends so we can fly together :)

    Great beginner drone

    This drone is well made but very basic. It will get you into the hobby but has some limitations. The camera takes some good 5MP pictures but the video is only 720p and stutters at times. There is no onboard memory so your phone/tablet app is recording a stuttery video. There are some educational apps that you can download and allow you to program flights of the little Tello. No GPS but it keeps a steady position with DJI tech downward facing sensor. Great for indoor use, ok for outdoor use as long as the wind is not too strong.

    Student Pilot

    I bought this drone because it appeared to be a good one to start with, without breaking the bank. I wanted something more than a toy that had a decent camera with the ability for both stills and video. I bought the version with extra batteries and an external charging dock so I could have more flight time - important when you're learning how to fly. So far I've been happy with my purchase. Excuse the picture of my roof, but it's something I couldn't do without this drone.

    Awesome, Incredible, Can't beat it for a beginner!

    I positively LOVE this little drone!!!! I wasn't sure how much I would use (play) with a drone, so rather than drop a few hundred dollars (or more), I figured I would ty a little one like this.

    I WILL be buying a BIGGER, better one soon, but I will NEVER give up on my little Tello.

    If you have any interest in trying a drone, BUY THIS!!!!!!

    Perfect first camera drone. Easy to use and fun!

    I watched a lot of Youtube videos before I decided to pull the trigger on the Tello. Most camera drones are large and intimidating and look like they could cause some havoc in the wrong hands (like mine) - but the Tello is super friendly (only 80 grams!) and super simple to use. I decided to buy the Tello by itself for $99 and buy the accessories separately; but the next day, the combo went on sale for $99, so I exchanged the Tello for the Tello Boost Combo.

    The Combo comes with 3 batteries, replacement props, and the charging bay with a USB cable. At $99 the combo is hard to beat (at $149, it's a wash) so I bought two and gave one to my nephew (who also loves it). FWIW - Good enough quality to take the occasional pictures/video to share with friends is my expectation at this price point.

    This is my first drone - I never wanted a large, complex drone with GPS - and thanks to the DJI software and sensors, it behaves just like I expected a large drone would right out of the box. It hovers very steady and is very responsive to control inputs. The photos are very good and the video is phone-quality. Range could be better, but battery life is excellent and there are simple aftermarket hacks to extend the Tello's range and height limits significantly, and improve the video performance with a wi-fi extender and .99 phone app. I recently purchased a Gamevice controller for my phone, and the joysticks make it a lot easier to maneuver quickly. The software is very good on the iPhone, I don't know about other brands.

    The few things that could be improved on the Tello are the video quality (although it is very good for $99), the ability to swivel the camera up/down, and more exposure options in the software. Some of these gripes may be addressed in firmware, but I'm quite sure the next generation of Tello will have all that and much more. It is an amazing 'toy' for young and old!

    Poor feed/videos with note 9

    With my Note 9, it takes great photos, but you cannot see the photo while taking. You can see clearly in video mode, but the videos are terrible. With my gfs iPhone it works perfect.

    It can suddenly drop altitude when stopping/ turning, but can be countered with controls.

    All in all, awesome!

    Good starter toy drone.

    Fun toy starter drone. Takes a while to get used to controlling it, just give it some time. Only giving four stars because cannot find replacement props anywhere, including Best Buy & Protocol websites!

    You get what you pay for

    You get what you pay for in drone flight. Perfect for introducing our 10 year old to drones but quickly bored given the flight time is roughly 10 minutes.

    Battery life sucks

    It only lasts for about 5 minutes before you have to recharge it again. It says it in the instructions but with Best Buy’s return policy of having to pay a restocking fees if it’s open that doesn’t leave you with much room to just take it back without having a loss any way. Kiddo still likes it but gets annoyed that he can’t play with it for long. For 80 bucks the battery should last at least 15 minutes right? Yeesh

    Good until it goes down

    Product was amazing at first but after about a week. I was flying and it fell out of the sky and hit the ground and will not fly anymore.

    Drone review

    This drone may be a good buy but there are very poor directions for this drone. We have not been able to figure out speed and direction for the drone and it is not very user friendly.
