I have not tried the compatible controller; I think that should have been included for this price

I also would highly recommend both a controller (I got one on Amazon for around $30 that works perfectly with my iPhone....and an extra battery or two would be a good idea for most

You can buy a regular controller for this to improve ease of use.

but I would happily pay an extra $5 for a cheap controller

The correct controller is the GAMESIR

Of course, you use your phone and the free app to control it, but a controller would be better

I use the controller, but the phone works just as well.

Most controllers will not work with it (check out the owner forums)

Also the GAMESIR T1 Standard controller that came in the package is the WRONG controller and is NOT

If that was not bad enough, my controller did not work at all

Now I have a useless controller I am returning

Recommend getting the controller

the controller was bad out of the box will not connect with

but I recommend the controller ; you can easily fly it inside or out if there is not much wind..

correct controller for the Tello is the GAMESIR T1D and will only work with DJI Tello

n’t bother using the fiddly “land in hand” feature in the app
