I had nearly the same thing happen to me except there was not clangy noise and instead of plunging to the ground, it flew straight up into the bottom of a bridge. I got a replacement with GoPro Care.

How do you like your Mavic? That is my thought if I decide to sell the Karma.

Wow, so sorry to hear. Did you purchase GoPro Care? With GoPro Care, they were able to process a replacement in about a month. Still waiting for the Karma core and stabilizer, but I got the camera.

Sorry to hear. There seems to be many issues with the Karma based on this forum. I experienced one where it was two feet away from landing and went into "Return to Home" and then took off straight into the air and crashed into a bridge 100ft high and then smashed onto the roadway below. Luckily...

They are replacing my Karma, Stabilizer, and Hero5. I will look into those settings and be more careful next time. Thanks

At least somebody understands my frustration. Understandable if it is a mile away and I have no idea where it is for it to come back to "home". 20 feet away is a little ridiculous especially when it operated fine with the bridge between the controller and the drone. I think it was since the...

I did get GoPro Care.

Hey, I understand you are not trying to give me a hard time. We can all learn from this. So it was not a steel bridge, it was concrete. When I initially took off, I did not have GPS signal, once I got above the tree line and above the bridge, it gained a GPS signal and operated perfectly. I was...

If I could have taken control, then why did it lose connection in the first place?

My Karma disconnected yesterday and shot straight up into the air into the bottom of a bridge, then crashe dback down to the road below. Spoke to customer service and I agree, very frustrating. I answered all the questions over the phone for about 40 minutes and then answered them AGAIN in the...

Mine took off uncontrollably yesterday and crashed. I spoke to customer service and they will be replacing it as well as the stabilizer and camera. Once I receive the replacement, I will probably return it or sell it and go to another company. Anybody have other drone recommendations?

Hello, If you are still in the decision making stage, here is my experience: I have the Karma and have flown it maybe a dozen times. Sometimes it works flawlessly, but most recently it had a mid of it's own and would not respond to any controller input, crashed, and completely destroyed itself...

I was able to control the drone through the bridge. I was under it and the done was above it. Then, while it is 20 feet from me, it loses connection with the controller. What doesn't make sense is the logic behind the drone's response to losing signal. Why in the world would it fly straight up...

Today I was flying the Karma in a wooded area with a giant abandoned bridge that goes over a river and valley. After about 7 minutes of flying with complete control and GPS signal to a distance of about 300 ft away, I came back to land on the paved road beneath the bridge. With about 2 feet left...

Similar situation for me today. I was flying with complete control and GPS signal for about 7 minutes. Came back to land where I was under a giant bridge. I was about 2 feet form landing when it took control of itself, flew straight up into the bottom of the bridge and then crashed onto the road...
