Troubleshooting E58
Common Issue 1:
Motors move at different speeds as per below video

Solution: Calibrate the E58.
It is good practice to calibrate the E58 , before every usage ,or when it suffered any previous " crashes"
Note : Please place E58 on a flat ground before you calibrate .
How to calibrate E58

You can reset the Eachine E58’s gyro settings in two different ways, either using the remote control or through the JY UFO phone APP.
Calibrating the Eachine E58 by remote controller
- Step 1: Turn on the remote controller;
- Step 2: Long press the power switch to turn ON the Eachine E58;
- Step 3: Place the drone on a horizontal surface;
- Step 4: Bind the transmitter with the drone by pushing the throttle stick to the highest position, and then pull it back to the lowest position. Solid light will indicate successful bind;
- Final step: Move both sticks to lowest right corner (like in the image above) for about 2-3 seconds. LED lights will start to flash rapidly. Wait few seconds till the lights are solid again and you are done.
Calibrating the Eachine E58 by phone APP
Calibrating the Eachine E58 through APP is even more easier. After you connected to drone with your phone. You need to enter the settings menu (like in the image bellow) and select the “Gyro calibrate” icon. First, the LEDs will start to flash rapidly, than steady on. Finish! That was all, you are done and ready for your next flight 🙂
Common Issue 2: After changing the propellers,the E58 is not able to fly up/fly sideway/fly in circle.
Solution: Check that the propeller alphabet matches picture ( as per page 2 of your instruction manual).
Common Issue 3: Loss of Power and connection while mid flight or upon take off
Solution : If you are using wifi to fly the E58 , ensure wifi connection is strong before you go ahead. We suggest to use the remote controller to control the E58 and using the wifi to fly it fpv.
If you are using the controller to fly the E58 and there is loss of power and connection,check that battery is securely inserted in.
* The " clasp" as circled should be fully inserted into the drone, leaving onlythe horizontal markings visible at the exterior.
If inserted properly,It should look linear at the front of the E58.
Common Issue 4: I am able to start the drone but I do not know how to move the drone in different directions.
Solution : After pairing the drone and launching it successfully in the air,move the control sticks according to the labels below.
Please note that the front of the E58 is the front with the camera ,from the E58 perspective. If you want to fly it in your perspective, activate the headless mode.
Common Issue 5: After a few " crashes", one or more of the motors are dead.
Definition of dead motor: There is no movement on the propeller.
Solution: E58 is a solderless quadcopter which works on a simple plug and play system. You have to unscrew the E58, remove the dead motor and insert a new motor. No special equipment such as soldering gun is required. You will need a screwdriver to unscrew .
Picture above showing removal of faulty motor.
Plug in the new motor and screw back the exterior.
Common Issue 6: After calibration, my e58 is still not able to fly perfectly straight, even in low winds conditions.
Solution : After pairing the E58,please trim the E58, according to the picture below. Page 4 of instruction manual.
In short, if the quad drifts to the right, u tune to the left and vice versa according to the direction it drifts.
Still can't get it to work?

I can’t get video link to my phone.
I will try it in airplane mode.
I hope that works.
Also…what size sd card does it take ?
Regular is too big…
Micro seems too small and mini sd is unavailable.
Please help !
Thanks in advance !
I just replaced the main board on the drone because it got burned out due to the props getting stuck in the tree. However, after replacing the board and powering it on, I cannot connect the controller to the drone.
Hi, My Drone is exactly look like this ones but it says Platinum Drone (Not Emotion) Also have a empty SD Card slot but is fake without connectors inside and the Worst is that the Camera is upside down, when I get the image in my cellphone I can record video and pictures but is Funny and frustrated to see the images in reverse [upside down]
This thing is definitely a cheap version of this Drone, my brother in law paid $99.00 for this cheap knock off model🤔
Anybody can tell me if is a way to fix the camera image problem?
Thanks
I’ve tried several times to use the drone via the app, it connects to the drone WiFi but that’s it! Camera will not work, controls do not work
Hi Ken Watt,
Likely your propellers are placed wrongly.
Do check that they are placed correctly.
My Eachine E58 drone will not take off, it just flips over.l have tried to recalibrate but nothing is working, can someone help please.
My E58 will not lift off in the left rear. I have replaced the arm assembly with no improvement. I have also calibrated per the instructions. Please help!

Can’t get live feed or get the camera or video to work! I can fly the quad but that’s it! Please help!
E58 stuck on high speed, will not reset
I found out how to connect the camera. You have to turn on the airplane mode on your phone and only activate the wifi to connect to the drone. Then the app works right away.

Sounds like a lot of people on here have what I got, a knock off E58 from China.
I couldn’t get mine to work with any official apps, but if you look for a QR code in your operations guide there is an app that will.
I have read all the above comments and also have the same problems: No camera feed; no control through phone; unable to calibrate.
I think this is destined for the bin with the other garbage
I can’t get the camera to work at all I can fly it but can’t take a picture?? What am I doing wrong??
Calibrated motors does not react to all commands .
Came with no camera
drone constantly out of the box drifts back &left,will not lift off. motors sound wonky.have tried to calibrate and trim. also charge wire for battery does not work out of the box
We bought three of these and none of them will connect to the app. We are able to join the drone’s wifi network, but when we launch the app, we see no picture.
my e58 motors turn but does not take off when i try to take off
Got E58 few days ago . not able to calibrate or trim the drone keeps drifting away when it goes up. I suspect one of motors in different speed and intermittently stop spinning ?
