How to connect Tello drone? Tello is a drone that is so small it fits in the palm of your hand. The quadcopter comes with built-in obstacle avoidance, making it easy for kids to fly safely. It has a high-definition camera that captures photos and video from above, and you can adjust the camera angle by just twisting its body.
Connect Tello to your phone using Bluetooth, then hold down the power button on your device until it starts blinking. This indicates that it has entered pairing mode. Next, go into the Tello app and tap “Connect Vehicle.” Your drone will start blinking green when it’s ready for takeoff!
With no controller required for flight, kids can take off and land this drone by pressing buttons on its body or start / stop recording video with the simple press of a button.

What Are The Minimum Requirements To Use Tello?
In order to use Tello, you will need:
- A Wi-Fi connection: This can be via a mobile hotspot or through an existing home network.
- A mobile device with Android or iOS: The only requirement here is that it has Bluetooth 4.0 and at least Android 5.0 or iOS 8.0 installed on it (this means that even your old iPhone 3GS should work). You don’t have to have the latest phone out there; we’ve tested this drone with devices as old as 2013 iPhones!
- An internet connection: either via Wi-Fi or cellular data
How Do I Achieve Optimal Performance Of My Drone?
- Make sure you’re flying somewhere open and unobstructed: If possible, don’t fly close to trees, buildings or anything that can get in the way of your drone’s path.
- Avoid windy conditions if at all possible: it’s hard enough keeping your Tello drone in the air without adding additional stressors like strong winds pushing it around.
- Avoid flying in rain or snowfall: if something gets wet while it’s on your personal property (like a dog), make sure not to let them lick off any residue that might be left behind on the Tello by running their tongue over its surface after they’ve gotten a drink from a nearby water source!
- And finally, avoid night-time use of your drone unless absolutely necessary: This will help keep things safe for everyone involved; accidents tend happen more often when visibility is poor
What Should I Do If The Wi-fi Signal Is Weak Or Lost?
If it’s the first time, you need to pair your drone with a smartphone or tablet.
- Check the Wi-Fi connection
- Make sure that your phone and drone are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. If they’re not, go through each step in the setup guide again and make sure that they are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. In most cases, Tello should automatically connect to your home’s WiFi if there is one available and then prompt you for the password when needed. You can also try connecting directly through an Ethernet cable for more stable connections (not included).
What Is The Maximum Range Of Tello?
The maximum range is 100 meters, but you can fly Tello up to 300m when connecting it to a phone or tablet. You can also fly Tello up to 500m when connecting it with a laptop and 1km when connecting it with a PC.
Where Can I Find A Tello User Manual?
The Tello user manual is a document that comes with your drone. You can download it from the Tello website or find it on the app, depending on which type of drone you have.
