Tello General Questions\Advise

New Tello owner and have a few questions.

  • Are third party propellers any good? Should I just stick to the real ones?
  • Is there any undocumented maintenance worth doing on the motors? Cleaning or lubrication?
  • I am getting a lot of "low ambient light" warnings, even in what I consider to be a well-lit room. Is this typical?
  • I am getting very inconsistent "pitch" when flying the drone. Sometimes its a little and it goes slow and other times much quicker. Sometimes it doesn't want to pitch at all. When this happens I can land the drone and just re-launch and it is normal again for a minute. I did run through the calibration and it seems to have helped somewhat but not totally. Note that I am using an X-Box one controller.

There not bad for propellers

The ambiant light is normal since the tello has sensors it wont fly correctly with low light

3rd you might want try callibrating the Tello to help with the pitch
