After todays announcement of the DJI Inspire 2 and the Phantom 4 Pro, the GoPro Karma looks as if it were developed by the cavemen. I'm pretty certain at this point that GoPro is looking at DJI and thinking... "why even bother putting out a drone". I cancelled by GoPro Karma order with B&H.

I've never held the Karma, but I would guess that since the battery is smaller in length than the Karma, it provides the balanced weight ratio in the mid to rear, while the Karma Grip & camera balance out the front. This then leads to the question... would the Karma even fly if no grip or...

One last observation about the GoPro Karma recall. It would seem that many Karma owners who are returning their Karma's to BestBuy are receiving a full refund & GoPro Hero 5 and are using the refund to buy a Phantom 4 or Typhoon H since they are readily available. I wonder if the GoPro Hero...

My 2 cent advice.... order both at B&H then when one ships cancel the other. The Mavic is a super portable version of a Phantom 4 with several additional high tech features tossed in. The Karma is a low tech drone with a removable camera. These drones couldn't be farther apart from each...

That is smart on GoPro's behalf. A free Hero 5 is such a nice touch. The company will be taking such a negative financial hit come next quarter. Will we ever see the Karma return? I hope so.

I received a notice that you could now pre-order the Karma battery. I wonder if the original end month November shipment was always the shipment from the production run with the fixed parts???? The only way it would make sense is if GoPro was aware that the first 2500 units were defective and...

You may have a point. Considering all the financial losses that GoPro has taken in the past year, the Karma may just be the anchor that sinks the company (due to lack of world wide demand and competition from DJI and other drone manufacturers). So it's either produce something that sells in...

If you order from outside the US they do this (kinda like DJI does). I wish they didn't but oh well.

<sign> they charged my card. If I cancel I lose about $100 on exchange rate.

Yup, I'm in Canada as well and I had pre-ordered one through B&H. My guess is that they will take until the end of the year to regroup/retool. Then they will go in one of two directions: Option #1. They will refurbish the returned units (they're not going in the trash) with the upgraded...

Karma Recall and Return Information Last updated November 08, 2016 GoPro is committed to providing our customers with great product experiences. To honor this commitment, we have recalled Karma until we resolve a performance issue related to a loss of power during operation. We plan to...

GoPro just announced a recall of its first-ever drone, the $799 Karma. Approximately 2,500 Karma units sold since October 23rd (meaning all of them) are impacted. GoPro says “in a very small number of cases, Karma units lost power during operation.” Thus far, there have been no reports of...

And now the Karma is recalled.... no more Karma for awhile.

Looks like someone tried your planned idea and the Karma didn't cooperate. Here is the video.

Well, knowing Casey he probably flew out too far and had insufficient battery power to get home. Have you seen how many Phantom 4's he's gone through? He also has the Karma now and has used it here and there in his last few videos. In the last video he destroyed his Phantom 4 and then had the...
