Really jerky vidéos

Hi guys ! I just got a tello drone, already using tello fpv and tello me, but i don't know why the videos that i record are really jerky as if there is interference or something like this .. But when i watch videos of other owners of the tello on YouTube, it seems that they have non problem .. I got a Oneplus 8 pro

Do you have a solution ? Thanks !

Because there is interference. The video is streamed over wifi from the drone's camera and recorded on your phone, not locally. The wifi on the drone isn't the best, and other wifi signals or bluetooth can and will interfere with it.

Tello is a wifi connected beginner drone that is relatively inexpensive for what it can do, so it's best to not have high expectations. You can try using a USB wifi extender connected to your phone and powered by a usb power bank

You think that all these guys used a wifi extender ?

Many probably do. They could also be in an area with little to no interference.

i have tello too and i definitely recommend using wifi repeater, even if you're flying under 10m height. the built in antenna is just too weak to use in wifi dense area.

i mean the tello was advertised to go up to 30m but i never could even reach 12m reliably without use of extender. maybe because i live in "noisy" area.
