    No joy. All the various batteries charge up well, but... The drone powers up but does not exercise the gimbal (no camera), and the gimbal is not orienting our straight. The bird doesn't connect to either of the two RC's. Following the owner manual for binding, I get an RC into pairing...

    The charger arrived a day early and have one battery on charge. The charger looks brand new. Have also downloaded the manual and scanned through it. Looks pretty straightforward. Figured I'd remove the props and see if the RC and bird are handshaking. A couple of questions: - Should the...

    One of the RC's also had a one-light residual charge and has been accepting a charge slowly overnight from a 15W USB charger, which sounds like a favorable condition. Will charge up the other one also while waiting for the Karma charger. Will see if one of them communicates with the drone when...

    Watched some YouTube video on moving the gimbal between the drone and the handle. Both handles showed one light of battery charge when I hooked them up to the USB charger, and both accepted and retained a full 4-light charge. Removed the gimbal from the Karma and it successfully locked into...

    Took a guess about roots of the interesting handle. Looked up the unit. Proud/rich history there with 100-year anniversary this year. Must have great memories of an interesting ride. A little off-topic, but what the heck. It's my thread to hijack. I'll head back to Karma stuff...

    Ok, Ok. I've ordered a Karma charger on eBay. Should have it by the 12th. Also found that the two gimbal handles accept a charge using a USB charger. Haven't tried hooking up the gimbal to the handles yet. Just haven't taken time to study up on how to do it. This estate stuff also came...

    Anyone in here have a Karma charger that I could buy?

    Glad you spotted the two hand-held stabilizers. I knew I'd missed something in the listing. For reference, the package on offer includes those two stabilizers. Again, don't know anything about condition. These do show more wear/tear than the other equipment.

    Great ideas, and I'll work on the USB possibility. Should have spotted that myself. Chances of finding a charger for the drone in our club are slim to none. We have tons of RC fixed wing, rotary wing, and glider pilots, but very few drone guys. I know most of them and haven't seen a Karma...

    Hello Karma pilots. I'm a total newbie to this forum, so I understand any reservations you may have about my situation/offer. FWIW, I'm a P107 drone photographer flying DJI, a Contest Director with AMA, member 8490, and Modbuilder on RCG. One of our AMA club members passed recently, leaving...
