    New Battery - shipping to New Zealand

    Just FYI I had to add ".com" to your link above ;) the link as is doesn't work... anyway if it were me I'd contact that www.batteryupgrade.com and see if indeed that is a typo... if it is, perhaps they have batteries for you after all? It does look like THAT BATTERY is the one, seems odd the...

    Android on Karma GoPro Controller with Ggaps

    Can you re-post the video?

    What should I move to?

    At this moment, bar none, for the money IMO the DJI Mavic Pro 2 is the best. My opinion is based on: Cost, reliability, good flight characteristics, connectivity reliability. I've done everything from building my own drones when they first came out (they used to call them quadcopters!) to...

    Karma repair shop

    Hummm, I'm assuming you have all the latest updates on both the controller and the drone?

    Karma repair shop

    So when it does that you have no stick control?

    Karma repair shop

    The Karma has no obstacle avoidance, so it's up to the pilot to keep it clear of objects. If you let go of the sticks and it still drifts then I suspect your GPS lock is not working. Are you waiting for GPS lock before you take off? I am not familiar with the Karma controls, but if it has ATTI...

    New Karma

    IMO unfortunately they paired with the wrong tech company (I forget who that was) to help them with their drone. I liked the idea of the grip/gimbal being detachable for two uses and I almost got one. (Up to that point I had owned every GoPro they turned out). Now GoPro would have to partner...

    Help me find these chips to replace please

    Wow, you are doing what hardly anyone I know has ever done on a drone and that is actually repair individual parts on a board. Good luck, sorry I can not help you with where those parts might be located :-(

    Karma 2.0? We can only hope?

    Agree completely... forgot about all that video editing/sharing/social crap they were pushing. Honestly that irritated me and I ignored it. It will be interesting to see where GoPro goes... heck at less than $3.00 per share it might be worth a few hundred bucks just to see what happens! ;-)...

    Karma 2.0? We can only hope?

    Not going to happen. GoPro is hanging by a thread, they blew their wad on the Karma and it's been downhill ever since. They have NO MONEY for another chancy exploit... their stock when the Karma marketing started was over $65/share... As of today, it is now $2.29/share, they are dead if they do...

    GOPRO NOT HONEST

    ?? Can you explain better what you mean?? Did you crash?

    Flying in my college campus in India!

    Just a suggestion, that is a beautiful place.... might try the photographers "thirds" rule... typically no more than 1/3 of the frame has sky in it. In this particular video I would say less sky would make for a better video :)

    Karma 2.0? We can only hope?

    Interesting, I had heard (from more than one source including one GoPro employee) that it was the other way around... kinda moot at this point anyway, but too bad for GoPro. Yes, the new DJI FPV stuff may bring some new life to GoPro equiped machines... of which I still have 3 of them!

    Karma 2.0? We can only hope?

    ...and add to that DJI has entered, very strongly, into the Sport Cam market with their new camera. Maybe DJI will buy out GoPro? At one point it might have been the other way around... some might call this "Karma" ;-)
