I couldn’t agree with you more @YeunglingsI had a similar dilemma last year. I lost a cheap drone, like half the price of a tello, and launched my MM to try and find it in the surrounding area. I knew roughly where it was but didn't want to traips through other people's yards looking. After flying a few minutes it dawned on me I was risking a $400 good drone for a $50 drone that literally ran away from me because the controls didn't work right so it was a no brainer for me to turn around and give up. The tello is a much better drone from what I hear and you know exactly where it is but there's still the cost to benefit ratio you need to weigh for yourself
Some sound advice there. Thank you.
The Tello is good, but now I’ve given it some thought, I don’t know, I’m kinda having second thoughts about this whole rescue operation. I’m just annoyed as I had bought additional batteries as well as a Wi-Fi booster and other bits. And to add insult to injury, after I lost it some spare/replacement propellers arrived and some new guards….. grrrrrrr
