    Lost GPS signal on my Karma

    So you're saying it's possible to take great photos without GPS ? Keeping a drone in place whilst composing a photo ? Even our Top Gun Tom would struggle with that one....

    Lost GPS signal on my Karma

    Don't give up, it seems to be their default response.... keep trying & you could get a better result. Persistence is the key to their awful support....

    Polarized Filters for Hero 5 / Karma Drone

    Does anyone know where I can get a good quality polarized filter for my Hero 5 ? Its to use with the karma drone flights.... Can you recommend good ND filters also ? Thank you.

    Closing the Karma Remote?

    No, you can't close it but I've seen some kid on YouTube stick in a thin looking backpack, open, and do that.... however what happens if the joysticks get nudged in the backpack... I've seen people with the controller in the car & have the drone follow. Worked fine ! Get creative but don't close...

    Losing GPS signal after recent update (Sept. 2017)

    Rumors are GoPro will have a launch event this week. They say the karma Drone may get some changes via an update.... Some say they may even release karma 2...... I doubt the latter but it might explain giving up on this one !!!!!

    Losing GPS signal after recent update (Sept. 2017)

    Yes, mines parked also. I lost GPS & then the drone took off without consent ! I did retrieve it out of a bush with just 4 broken props... These days F/Unortunately I'm on crutches due to a work accident, so I couldn't fly it if I wanted to. GoPro know about the Karma GPS issues people are...

    "We can confirm that it's not a manufacturing defect and won't be covered under warranty."

    If you're going to spend more money I'd switch to DJI, this kind of incident with the Karma drone is becoming all to common.... This forum is full of fly away Karmas.... I'd still persist with trying to get a replacement though, you never know...

    NO GPS

    Wow, I read you story & cant believe it's still not resolved..... So sorry to hear that, Its a miracle mine survived.Had it gone out over the water I'd be in exactly the same position as you.

    NO GPS

    It just said Lost GPS connection... Immediately it shot off to my left up the beach (at least it didn't go out to sea) I seemed to have some control but it felt like what ever I did it was added to its left direction.... In other words I couldn't stop its left movement & it was fast. It happened...

    NO GPS

    Well, it finally happened today.... Lost my GPS signal at the beach this morning almost immediately after takeoff & "Boom" off the karma went with me chasing after it. I couldn't stop it with the controller & watched helplessly as it disappeared into the trees... After much searching I finally...
