Thank you for your instruction video. I lost my manual so it helped me out a great deal. Speaking English might be a little difficult for you, but i think you did a great job. There were only 2 words i couldn't understand, but you explained them by using your fingers and pointing everything out. Good video, friend!

@freddiespencer927 I'm glad it helped, and I really appreciate your kind words…….!

good morning. insane masterpiece! later.

Nice review! one thing never mentioned in the guide is you have to check if you have a 'runner" - that is drone will continue to fly strong after losing signal from controller. if drone ignores losing signal, then it will inevitably get lost as it will fly far far away. Some E88/E99 drones do power down when signal is lost, but you can't tell what you will get in advance.

Lost mine literally right now to that it’s in a tree now

@ coldspring22 Thank you for your insightful comment! You bring up a crucial point about drone behavior upon losing signal. It's true that some E88/E99 drones may continue flying when they lose connection, potentially leading to them flying out of range. To address this issue effectively, manufacturers could consider implementing a 'fly to home' feature. This feature would automatically activate when the drone detects a low battery or loses connection with the controller. It would help prevent drones from getting lost and enhance the overall safety and user experience, especially for budget-friendly models like the E88/E99. I believe such a feature would be immensely beneficial and provide users with greater confidence and security when flying their drones. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts and contributing to the discussion on drone safety and usability!"

​@@oranjvr4962 Sorry to hear about your drone getting stuck in a tree - that's frustrating! It's unfortunately a common issue with many budget-friendly drones. Implementing a feature like 'fly to home' upon detecting low battery could greatly improve user experience and help prevent situations like yours. It's a feature that I believe would benefit many drone enthusiasts. Thanks for sharing your experience, and I hope you're able to retrieve your drone soon!

Is there a safe way to test this????

[@sarangamenike]

@@TheShamanWitch72 Thank you for your question! Yes, there are safe ways to test your E99 drone. Which I should have explained in the video and I totally missed that. Thanks for asking it. Here are some tips: 1. Read the Manual: Ensure you've read the user manual thoroughly to understand the drone's operation and safety guidelines. 2. Choose an Open Area: Test your drone in a wide, open space away from people, pets, and obstacles. A park or an empty field is ideal. 3. Check Weather Conditions: Fly your drone in calm weather conditions. Avoid windy or rainy days, as they can affect the drone's stability. 4. Perform a Pre-Flight Check: Inspect the drone for any damages, ensure the battery is fully charged, and calibrate if necessary. 5. Start Slow: Begin with basic maneuvers and keep the drone at a low altitude until you get comfortable with its controls. By following these steps, you can safely test your E99 drone and enjoy its features. Happy flying!

One blade is not spinning

[@sarangamenike]

It could be due to several potential issues. Here’s a breakdown of the possible causes and how to resolve them (Please note that I have never tried to do any of the possible approaches in this drone though I have tried in very high performing drone. So some of the approach might not applicable here): 1. Motor Issue Cause: The motor responsible for spinning that particular blade might be damaged or faulty. Resolution: Check the motor: Inspect the motor for any visible damage. If the motor is burnt out or damaged, it may need to be replaced. Test the motor: Swap the motor with another one from a different arm of the drone to see if it works. If the motor doesn’t work on another arm, it’s likely the motor itself is faulty and needs replacement. 2. Propeller Issue Cause: The propeller might be loose, damaged, or not properly attached. Resolution: Check the propeller: Ensure the propeller is securely attached to the motor shaft. Tighten if necessary. Inspect for damage: Look for any cracks or warping. If the propeller is damaged, replace it with a new one. 3. ESC (Electronic Speed Controller) Problem Cause: The ESC, which controls the speed of the motor, might be malfunctioning. Resolution: Test the ESC: If you have a multimeter or a spare ESC, you can check if the ESC is delivering power to the motor. If the ESC is faulty, it will need to be replaced. 4. Wiring or Connection Issue Cause: Loose or damaged wiring might be preventing the motor from receiving power. Resolution: Inspect the wiring: Check the wires connecting the motor to the ESC and the drone’s mainboard for any signs of damage, disconnection, or loose connections. Resolder or replace: If you find any faulty connections, resolder or replace the wires as necessary. 5. Debris or Obstruction Cause: Dirt, debris, or an obstruction could be preventing the motor from spinning. Resolution: Clean the motor: Carefully inspect the motor and propeller for any debris and remove it. A small brush or compressed air can be used to clean out any dirt. Note that these cheap drone may not have high withstand power if it hit ground or obstacle which break the functionality....

Battery life about 1 minute of flying just fyi

[@sarangamenike]

That’s definitely not normal. It sounds like there's an issue with the battery. I recommend reaching out to the seller to request a replacement. If they don’t respond, consider leaving a review on their page to get their attention. For reference, I was able to fly mine for around 15 minutes (though I didn’t time it exactly).

I got that drone I'm having troubles connecting to the camera though

[@sarangamenike]

It would be greate if you can elaborate the scenario bit more so that I can help. I know connecting the camera can be a bit tricky at first! Make sure you've completed the initial setup steps like charging the drone fully and ensuring the remote control and drone are properly synced. If you're still having trouble, double-check the WiFi connection between your phone and the drone's camera. Sometimes restarting both devices can also help establish a solid connection. On the other hand, would you be able to make sure you have installed the correct APP as well.....

[@TheShamanWitch72]

​@sarangamenike I can get the camera connected, and get the drone to fly.... but if I land the drone I get the message to connect to it if I try to restart the drone otherwise I can still fly it but the camera won't work?

[@sarangamenike]

@@TheShamanWitch72 Thanks for the update! Great to hear you got the camera set up correctly! I'd love to know what the original issue was. It sounds like there might still be a connection issue between the drone and the camera or the video transmitter is malfunctioning, which seems to be a unique problem with your drone. If it's still under warranty, it might be best to return it and get a new one. If not, you might need to reach out to support for help. Hope this gets sorted out for you soon! Please update here how you get resolved the issue and if you have any concern happy to assist to my best....

[@jezzylawson936]

toy for kids???? this is my first drone....as a 53 yo man I'm upset!

[@sarangamenike]

Aha ..... :) I'm sorry to hear you were disappointed. My intention was to clarify that the E99 drone is more suited for beginners and recreational use, rather than being a professional-grade model.

[@taylorbrown2396]

You're 53... think about it.

[@sarangamenike]

@@taylorbrown2396 This is the same feeling I get when I saw kids play video games…😀. I’m not far from u 😀.

[@jezzylawson936]

@@taylorbrown2396 I did, for a second or two

[@countys32]

Be real all men are still boys at heart, toy for kids are toys for adults to, not to mention this is a great starter drone it can take damage and you can fly it indoors even as a novice. Some of the best gamers in the world are 65 year old men we never grow up and why should we.
