    Off-Road trip with Karma (Nevada)

    After finally getting my Karma drone back in the air, I was able to film my last off-road adventure with my buddy.

    Error Msg: Unable to Takeoff - RESOLVED!

    After waiting more than a week, GoPro's "engineers" have decided to replace my controller, Karma drone, and the stabilizer. Based on previous reports, I am not very hopeful this will work.

    If they send you another one, try flying it without updating the software. Im curious to see if it will work. Ill try doing the same if they send me another one.

    Im getting the same issue as well. I replaced the Karma through GoPro Care after an incident. The original unit worked flawlessly until it got destroyed. I never updated that one to the current software version either. The replacement unit was sent to me and pairs just fine with the controller...
