[@FrankDeDekenTurbosoul]

Thankxs very much, U've been very good helpfull. I bought this drone for 23euro. Now i can start play with it. Greetings from Belgium East-Flanders

[@sarangamenike]

Happy to hear that this video was helpful full and appreciated your supportive words…!

[@Texxavy]

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!

[@sarangamenike]

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

[@FeliciaAidoo]

Thank you very much

[@matthewcastillo5285]

I bought the same drone and downloaded the app for it and I still can’t figure out how to see through the camera of the drone

[@sarangamenike]

I recommend redoing the steps carefully by closely following the video. Resetting and starting the entire procedure from the beginning may resolve the issue. If it still doesn’t work, please let me know the exact problem so lets try to resolve it together…

[@sarangamenike]

I’m traveling at the moment for few weeks, so please bear with me if I’m delayed by a few days to get back to you..

[@eprohoda]

good morning. insane masterpiece! later.

[@coldspring22]

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.

[@oranjvr4962]

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

[@sarangamenike]

@ 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!"

[@sarangamenike]

​@@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!

What is the app for HD camera uav e99? Thanx for the answer❤❤❤...

[@sarangamenike]

It is not sure this drone supports HD video . I’m using RC FPV app..

[@sarangamenike]

Will check and get back to you later tomorrow. I’m out right now

[@robertpatterson370]

Hi! I bought the e99 drone. the one you have. It only came with the six-page manual. I did not get the second that you got for the app to sink your phone with the 4k camera. Can you please take a picture of the qr code and post for me to scan?

[@sarangamenike]

Unfortunately I don’t have that manual with me. But, as i remember the E99 Pro drone does not specifically require a QR code to connect the camera to a mobile app. Typically, connecting the drone to your mobile device involves the following steps: 1. Download the App: Search for the app associated with the E99 Pro drone in your device’s app store (Google Play or Apple App Store). The app name is usually provided in the manual. 2. Turn on the Drone: Power on the E99 Pro drone, and it will emit a Wi-Fi signal. 3. Connect via Wi-Fi: Go to your mobile phone's Wi-Fi settings and connect to the drone’s Wi-Fi network (which will likely have a name related to the drone model). 4. Open the App: Once connected via Wi-Fi, open the drone’s app, and the camera feed should display on your mobile device. Some drone manufacturers may include QR codes to make downloading the app easier, but it's not required to connect the camera. Just ensure you follow the app and Wi-Fi connection steps. In the video if you pause the video when it is in the screen you should be able to see the instructions …

[@sarangamenike]

Wow.. I found the manual. This is the link it directed once I scan the QR code: adgo.top/app/rcfpv.html If u can let me know ur email address I can send it to u..

[@shalabypharmd4137]

It's blinking that's why

[@sarangamenike]

Seems like you response to one of the comment. But it is not clear which one as it appears in the main thread...... Like to get more detail

[@adriennebarba9073]

For the life of me, I can’t connect the camera to my phone. I’ve downloaded the app and have done the setup but it still won’t connect. Any advice on this?

[@sarangamenike]

Can you please make sure you have the wifi connected successfully..?

[@anja2716]

Mine always says connected no internet access . Is that normal?

[@fuegovo1]

Do you have to pay to install the drone to your phone??

[@sarangamenike]

Sorry for the two-day delay in responding to your question. As far as I know, there isn't a paid app required to control or fly this drone. You can simply fly with the joystick you receives with it. If you come across a phone App that can be used to control this drone, please let me know. But if you're asking about the app for viewing video from the drone, the answer is no, there's no cost for that either....

[@TZ2a]

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....

[@robertstane5823]

Hey guys... I just got my E99 and I ran into a problem. I can't get my lithium batteries to charge. I'm using the li po usb cables it came with. When I plug it in, the red light comes on for less than a minute. And when I leave it to charge for an hour or two, the battery is still not charged when plugged into the drone, whose lights are blinking with low battery signal. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your input...

[@sarangamenike]

As a rule of thumb, especially for hardware or embedded engineers, always check the cable first. It sounds like there might be an issue with the charging cable or the battery itself. Try using a different USB power source, like a wall adapter instead of a computer port, and make sure the battery is securely connected to the charger. If the problem persists, the battery might be faulty and may need to be replaced. Hope this helps! Please don't forget to update how things goes in your end .....

[@robertstane5823]

@@sarangamenike Thanks for your info. I tried my cell phone USB charger and also desktop computer and my 3 lithium batteries wouldn't charge. But I had an older slower speed, lesser watt, USB charger and all 3 batteries seem to be charging just fine.

[@sarangamenike]

@@robertstane5823 It seems like there might be an issue with the battery. If possible, try returning it and request a replacement by explaining the situation.....

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....

[@sarangamenike]

Yes it is….

[@shalabypharmd4137]

Ot slams into walls. Its every where. Why? Even if you didnt touch the controller

[@sarangamenike]

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! If the drone is slamming into walls without input from the controller, it could be due to a few potential issues: 1. Calibration: Ensure that the drone's gyroscope and compass are properly calibrated before flying. Check the manual for calibration steps. 2. Signal Interference: Flying near Wi-Fi routers, power lines, or other electronics can interfere with the drone's signal and cause erratic behavior. 3. Malfunctioning remote? Interesting issue.. Like to here more feedback if you get resolved it or if above response was helpful...

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).
