This is the first drone released by GoPro. When it is functioning perfectly, the following things are still true: the Karma can't autonomously follow you around. Its battery life is on the low end, and its range is much shorter than its main competitors.

Versatile; Simple; Portable

Underpowered; Lacks range; No follow mode; No obstacle avoidance

It took a while to get off the ground, but you can go out and buy a GoPro Karma today. And while brand devotees who already own a compatible GoPro action cam may see some upsides-including the bundled Karma Grip and relatively attractive price point-I don't think it should be your first choice.

Works with Hero4 and Hero5 cameras; Includes handheld grip for gimbal; Solid tutorial for beginning pilots; Remote has integrated display; Some automated flight features; Easy offline map downloads; Includes backpack

Short 15-minute flight time; Very limited suburban operating range; GoPro camera not ideal for aerial work; Remote screen is prone to glare; Omits obstacle avoidance and follow mode

There was much excitement when GoPro first announced it was going to make the GoPro Karma, its very own drone. With the Karma, GoPro would be able to combine knowledge gleaned from years of building the best action cameras in the business and apply that to the business of manufacturing a proper...

Leading up to its announcement, GoPro did a fantastic job creating buzz and anticipation for its first drone, the Karma ($799.99 on its own, $1,099.99 with a Hero5 Black action camera). Thanks to folding arms and landing gear, there wasn't another drone on the market with such a svelte form factor when it was unveiled last year. But the wind was quickly taken out of its sails by the comparatively tiny, and more capable, DJI Mavic Pro, and its rollout was marred by a recall due to a faulty battery latch design. After months of delays, the Karma is finally finished and on sale. But time has not been kind, and there are better drones out there. Design The Karma ( at Amazon) features a folding design, with arms and landing gear that tuck into the body for storage and transport, and a nose-mounted gimbal. It measures 4.6 by 16.2 by 12.0 inches (HWD) when ready to fly and 3.5 by 8.8 by 14.4 inches when folded for transport. It weighs 2.2 pounds, so you will have to register with the FAA...

After a rocky launch, the GoPro Karma is available for purchase. but there are better drones on the market at lower prices.

I purchased this drone in March 2017 amidst mixed reviews on the reliability, and in response to GoPro acknowlegment for the changes needed. After 3 months of ownership and loosing a number of blades, due to landing on uneven ground, underestimating the low profile of the device, I lauched it after...

Très heureux de mon achat. Le Karma Gopro répond très bien a mes attentes !

Easiest Drone to fly, comes with everything you need and more.

When Karma was unveiled last month, there were two main takeaways. First was the lack of much-expected "follow me" features; second was the inclusion of a (not-expected) hand-held stabilizer, turning Karma into a "kit.

GoPro just proved that there's still room for something fresh in consumer camera drones.

GoPro's first crack at a flying camera could shake up the market thanks to a clever stabilization system and user-friendly controls.
