The App is simple to use and captures nice (if somewhat jerky) video. The Tello drone is fun to fly with responsive controls that work for beginners and experienced pilots. One set of spare rotor blades is included with the drone itself. Other spare parts are widely available, including different colored shells for $8 and a spare set of rotor blades for $2. Spare batteries are easily available, and cost $18 each.There is also an optional charger that can charge four batteries at once for $24.

The Tello captures 720P video at a resolution of 1280 x 720, and still images at 5 MP (2592 x 1936). When used with an iPhone 7 Plus, I found the Tello's range was rather short: the signal started to drop off at about 30 feet and was lost at about 40. You do get a warning in the smartphone app, but the drone does not stop automatically, or return to you. If the drone flies out of Wi-Fi range, it hovers in place until it reacquires the signal. There is no GPS on this drone, so you can't program a course and set the drone to follow it through the smartphone app. MORE: Drone Buying Guide: Everything You Need To Know Depending on your children or dogs, that may be reason enough for the mode to exist, though. It's great for amusing small children or annoying small dogs, but I can't see any real use for it beyond that. ![]() Bounce Mode is a bit of an oddity: the drone bounces up and down between 2 and 6 feet above the ground as you move it around. The 360 mode shoots video while the drone slowly rotates in place, while Circle records a short video as the drone rotates around the subject, keeping the camera pointing at it. Up & Away captures a video where the drone flies up and away from you. 8D flips is an acrobatic mode, where you slide the on-screen control and the drone flips in one of eight directions. From the app, you can activate several fun flight modes: 8D flips, Up & Away, 360, Circle and Bounce Mode.
