As a Part 107 pilot I use a Mavic 2 Pro with Smart Controller for professional quality images and video. For play and training others,Tello is a small highly durable drone with propeller guards. It records photos and videos though the quality is at best medium.

Until recently been using it with an Android phone. The drawback for training purposes is it uses the one screen virtual joysticks which are more sensitive than one would like to train someone.

Starting last week I decided to get the Tello to work with the Smart Controller. It can be done but will take some fortitude and trial and error. CLICK HERE to see the thread on this forum for the experience and the steps.

Thanks, you put a lot of thought and time into figuring it out.
