GoPro’s new Karma drone: test flight

GoPro just announced its first drone, the Karma, which can fold up and fit in a backpack. It’s super easy to use, works with the new Hero 5 Black, Hero 5 Session, and Hero 4, and goes on sale October 23rd for $799.

It's amazing to see features that we take for granted today, such as it being able to fit into a backpack and have a steadycam, were so impressive just 4 years ago.

The steadicam stick is also a nice thing to have...

[uncanny]

Totally nailed it with the design! Can be carried around with a backpack, detachable gimbal...amazing!

[PaulIstoan]

Nice to see GoPro going into this market!

[altar]

I'm even more impressed by how stable the steadycam looks

[Kawaii._potato]

where were you guys this week good to see u guys after so long

[duncan.scobie]

Saying that....looks nice and very impressed with how the two cameras might turn out. Battery life is so key to everything in my opinion.

Taking 'Hope you get hit by karma' to a next level 😂

[hello.lrobinson]

I think this is a bit of a game changer, the stabilizer stick thing is super cool!

smart money would be to wait for Karma 2, you know the first one is going to have bugs, but I like what I see

I love this thing. Not only does it come with a case, you can use the case as a launch pad and a backpack with the mounted gimbel, . Also no need to screw around with my phone and clamping it to a remote. It's like a swiss army knife for Drone and Adventure enthusiast.

Only a matter of time before TechRax flies it into a pool of maple syrup

[ufoengines]

Very Neat! Make the next design like the Stuff 195 !

[theadventurebiker]

No mention of any autopilot, follow or track

[LogcTech]

Awesome GoPro!! I am considering this very much now

[DrMorocho]

Cool, I was about to press the buy button for a Phantom 4.
Patience DrMorocho, patience...

[MacroPheliac]

I'm shocked at that price, especially from the likes of GoPro and the feature set. DJI may have some serious competition now!

[joehowarth]

are you able to tilt the camera down and up during flight? will it point the camera straight down?

[raphaelvillalobos]

my concern is the hight of the legs seems to me landing it after a flight u might run into breaking the blades sense its low to the ground and the outdoors is usually not flat area witch means a lot of blades will need to be replacing, also is the image quality better then the dji4? and how does the camera controls feel

was that Linus Sebastian yelling in the background?
