[size=25.440000534057617px]Before you buy read; and if you do, do not fly 1st in the open, do it indoors where you can catch a potential runaway....

Received my Tello today, picked up from FedEx office, charged battery to about 50% - 60% The app prompted me to update the firmware, so I did Connected to drone’s WiFi Once connected, I saw I had video right away, so I was ready to go I went to my community’s front office. They have a good size parking lot (cul de sac) and with plenty of light I used a landing pad on the flat concrete Performed take off... As soon as it took off, it just flew straight and into the huge field next to the parking lot (without me going forward) I had video (so I must of had some connection, at least to the camera) Tried to turn it, no response Tried to land, several times, no response... Once I saw I had no control, I tried to chase it... but lost it, it just kept going straight..... Searched for it for over an hour, in an ample field (no drone) I have flown drones for about four years I own a DJI Spark, a couple Holy Stones and various mini drones I’m registered with FAA and also member of AMA (as everyone should be) I have good knowledge of drones, best practices and safety.... No (good) drone is supposed to just fly forward upon take off.... specially this one (DJI technology, as well as Intel…) I’M SO DISAPPOINTED (I feel robbed (US$ 100.00)) as I was so excited about this drone What was to be a great highlight of my day turned to be the opposite The software and or the hardware is junk... at least on that drone (unit) in particular
