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 .

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?

Hi Rodger@2ndJan,
Are there blinking lights?
If the lights are blinking but you cant get to pair,
then u do the following steps
1) calibrate
2) if step doesn’t work, change the battery of the remote controller and charge the drone.
If there are no lights,
check that the battery is properly inserted in.
Hi Rob@2nd Jan,
Please calibrate the e58. read common issue 1 on the blog.
hi Steve @ 2ndJan,
U need to update the firmware on your other mobile devices ,in order to use them to operate E58
Can not find Wi-Fi connection It doesn’t show up on my iPhone or android
Using an iphone8 and jyufo is impossible to fly fpv due to frequent video interruption, any suggestion?
In addition since not always the 360 works ??? for two time the drone stops and drop down. The return back does not work. Is the drone defectives or i make something wrong ?
My E58 box was missing the instruction manual. How. An I get a copy? Thank you
Only one motor runs. Starts as soon as the battery is inserted. Have to remove the battery to stop it. What’s going on?

power is on, drone connected to wifi. when i press easy loft off nothing happens, rotors dont spin, and bottom red light keeps blinking
I crashed it on its first flight and cant get it to pair again. What have I done?
e58 has started to just lean forward when I try to fly it. I changed blades and have checked and A’s and B’s are in the right spot. Drone leans toward right front and slides across the floor. Front right propeller is turning…so I am not sure what I should try next.
Hi i cannot connect to my e58 with my samsung j5 or my ssmsung note 8 with the WiFi. But i can with my samsung tablet s3….. what am i doing wrong
Many thanks

Hi John,
1) Which mobile device r u using? Try updating the firmware.
The two buttons at the top left side with the photo and video icons, just did to press the button to take photo and video
2) Yes, it is normal.
Two issues
1, it won’t take video. I can snap a picture using the phone app but that’s it, the video button when pressed lights up and when I press it again it says video job canceled. How do I activate video via the remote? One button for still and video???
2, when I press the headless button on the remote, the remote beeps continuously. Is this normal?
Hi TD,
Usually for such cases, it is battery issue.
1) Check that the battery is fully charged. It must be charged around an hour . However, should the battery be overcharged, it will be bloated and that will not work as well.
2) Ensure that the battery is fully inserted in. The " clasp" of the battery should be fully inserted into the drone, leaving only the horizontal markings visible at the exterior.
3) If you are quite sure the battery is fine, then most likely the flight controller is faulty.
Hi Rory,
On your mobile phone screen, when you pair the E58 to your mobile phone, the second button on the right ( with the ON word), click that button to OFF. You will be able to operate using the controller and view using your mobile phone.
I cannot get my E58 drone to power up. I charged the battery as per instructions. It is brand new just got it yesterday..
