    What Type Of GPS System Does Karma Use?

    Unfortunately its a side effect of owning anything that is you cannot have full control over. Always best to be calm and collected even in a risky situation. Meaning the calmer you are during flight the better you can control any drone even in a out of control situation like wind and propeller...

    What Type Of GPS System Does Karma Use?

    nice. I made the mistake buying it from best buy which were useless. "non-refundable". That same day i purchased it. That night my drone had a update which afterwards took off into a friends jeep. It also cut tips of his fingers with the blades as we caught it before it tried to take off toward...

    i take it you fully calibrated the drone and updated the camera + controller right? Also if you use auto exposure its going to adjust based on what the camera catches. I would hook up the camera to your computer and update it using "Quik" or "Go Pro Studio". As for the controller and drone. You...

    higher iso increases sensitivity to light and shutter speed. Lower is better during bright days. Depending the situation and the scene you are shooting. It does not effect the image cropping. Just helps with image control quality.

    video with Karma go pro black 5

    i keep my iso at 1600, as for the controller. The video feed is never that great. im not sure if its because its running on a 2.4Ghz frequency or what.

    What Type Of GPS System Does Karma Use?

    Although i dont recommend it for most. But i disable the GPS feature on mine for more control. So far so good. But the drone still looks for the sats. If the drone loses the signal regardless if you got it disabled. It seems to have a mind of its own. Im quickly realizing that i should have went...

    GoPro lays off 200 in struggle to find its footing

    Just like everything else you buy that is american made. You would think our nation would find a way to get rid of overseas services like this crap. Not saying i dont like my karma drone nor the gopro hero 5 camera but seriously. All these drone companies are kicking their butt right now in the...

    GoPro Care works?

    Took me 3 weeks to replace drone blades after the same thing happened to me. I would go through their 1yr limited warranty and if it comes down to it. I would only use the go pro care for the body of the drone that is about $300 otherwise if its blades or arms i would buy the replacements online...

    Prop guards????

    Karma drone does not have a means of adding guards to the propellers. Mainly because each individual arm and components are replaceable. I would not recommend any guards on the propellers; mainly due to the fact that it will affect the weight factor and the aerodynamics of the blades.
