Was gonna blow up my GoPro Karma Drone until a viewer comment saved it

So as you now if you've been following along this winter, I have been having problems with my GoPro Karma Drone. Issue with Compass Calibration not letting it Fly. I have been in touch with GoPro Product Support via Chat & Phone and was getting the Run-around. I wasn't asking for a replacement or any kind of compensation as my drone was over 2 years old, I just wanted to know where I could send it to get it fixed. WARNING: if you buy a drone from GoPro there is a 1 year replacement Warranty but they do not repair them in any way. I was so frustrated I decided I was going to do a video, blowing my drone to smithereens just out of spite. Thankfully a gentleman from a channel called LetsBeDope commented that he had the same problem and it was related to the Firmware needing an update. I got back in touch with GoPro and asked about the update and sure enough that was whats solved the problem. Why they never offered that info in the first place is beyond me. Anyways the drone is back in action and there won't be any cool video of me loading it up with Tannerite and blowing it to pieces. Gotta admit that woulda been a cool video. Happy to be flying again Thanks LetsBeDope ! Gotta love this Youtube communinty !

nice. glad that was the solution... I've only owens one camera and it's the gopro hero 5 black I record with now.. Shortly after I bought it I had issues with static while recording... I got a huge runaround with people from their customer support for weeks before I finally got someone that said send it back..

Buzz Light Year! To infinity and Beyond! That's awesome Don that a simple firmware update saved your drone from total annihilation! And thanks to LetsBeDope for the suggestion. He saved you a lot of money and frustration. It's too bad GoPro Customer Support couldn't have figured that out for you in the beginning. But all's well that ends well. Some beautiful winter time drone footage of the homestead. I'm happy that you got it fixed!

Nice flight, glad you got it straightened out. What ski mountain is that off in the distance?

Thank God for help from a fellow YouTuber, you were definitely ready to cut down the fig tree, then a disciple pleaded to fertilize it, that suggestion from the YouTuber was the fertilizer that saved the drone, haha.

I am glad to see you saved the drone. But I will confess, I was wanting to see an explosion.

Did your drone die a week or two after updating with the compass patch? Mine did. 😡
