Myth one: The GoPro Karma is a small drone. Is it the most advanced drone available for the price? Nah, but is it one of the most satisfying to use? I think so. GoPro users will like that they can use their cameras in the drone. Anyone can fly it, and I like that, and I’m sure others will too. The Karma takes seconds to get out of its case and into the air. Think of the Karma as one of the best drones from 2014, and maybe, for GoPro’s core audience, that’s fine. And that’s a shame, too, as both are excellent additions to drone technology.
It lacks collision detection and follow-me abilities - the latest features found on most drones in the Karma’s price point. Think of it as a flying GoPro mount, though, instead of an autonomous aerial vehicle. I’ll spoil the suspense now: The Karma is a great drone. At these price points, the Karma is competitive with the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced and DJI Phantom 4 especially when the bundled accessories are taken into account. It’s also available for $999 and $1099 if bundled with a Hero 4 Black or Hero 5 camera, respectively. Priced at $799 without a camera, the Karma is a solid buy for those that already have a Hero 4 camera.
GOPRO ON A DRONE PORTABLE
GoPro bundles the Karma with a durable backpack case, handheld steady-cam mount and a unique controller that looks and feels more like a portable game system than a remote control. Yet when stacked against others, the Karma is missing key features that makes it competitive against the latest and greatest from drone makers. On its own the Karma is a fantastic drone. The Karma drone is first and foremost an accessory for GoPro cameras and thus it hits the market with a unique value proposition. In the end, GoPro is a camera company that made a drone. And because it uses GoPro’s best cameras, the picture quality is superb. The Karma is capable, packable, and easy to fly. Eet the Karma, GoPro’s eagerly awaited quadcopter.
