    How do I know I have the new updated Karma and not the old recalled one?

    If you search this forum and youtube, there are some very precise explanations on this topic. One post had photos showing the latching modification in the body of the Karma to allow a better latching system.

    Flying with no gimble or camera.

    When a drone loses GPS it handles very differently and the pilot may start to panic. If you do not have the Karma in view, you have to rely on the screen to fly it. That can be disorienting, causing the drone to go in a very different direction than what the pilot believes it is going. I have...

    loosing video signal

    Really impressed that you flew over 1300 ft on a regular basis. I get nervous when I lose sight of the Karma and it disappears at half that distance. Then there is the issue of having enough battery to return home. So if you get video at 1300 ft, I would be happy with that.

    Wifi Hard drive

    Since your videos are saved to a sd card, couldn't you just change cards and save the expense of an wireless HD?

    GoPro app issues.

    I had this message, still do. At 1st, I created more space on my PC by moving files to an external hard drive. I still got the message. Now I click OK and go to the + button and specify the drive that indicates the SD card, then open. That usually does the trick.

    I would keep the H5B on the Karma, it's a great camera and do you really want to risk your brand new H7B flying? Wives usually want to take snapshots, any cheap P&S will do for them.

    Gopro hero side cover hindge.

    I would buy a new one and use this as a back up, although it sounds like it is working ok. Would you be willing to do a dunk test? Put a small piece of tissue in the battery compartment and do a dunk for a few seconds. Dry off the camera, blow the seals off with air, then open to see if the...

    Lubricating the motors

    Just wanted to follow up on the reason I discovered the rear right motor was less free moving than the other motors was that I started to remove the props to fit the Karma into my Seeker pack. I noticed it was less free earlier, but really noticed it when I had to remove the props and put them...

    When to disconnect the karma battery and camera from the drone.

    Batteries should be stored in a lipo bag or box, so with that in mind, I always remove the battery after use. You will need to recharge the battery before using it again anyway, so you might as well remove it. The same goes for the camera, it has a battery that I rarely like to leave in when...

    Lubricating the motors

    Does anyone regularly lubricate the motors of the Karma? I noticed that the right rear motor is less free spinning than the other motors. I sprayed it with some WD40 and it spins better, but not as nicely as the others. What's been your experience.

    The Seeker Pack

    Great input, I initially placed the Karma with the gimbal in the Seeker, but I had a problem getting past the top, padded compartment without moving the camera housing in order to place it behind the padded compartment. The padded compartment felt stiff and somewhat unmovable. I always take...

    The Seeker Pack

    Right now the Karma is in lockdown, but will be flying hopefully soon. As far as the price of the Seeker, cheap is not a feature of any Go Pro product, but it is high on quality, utility and great design and yes it is very cool. Here is a video I did right after the Karma firmware update.

    The Seeker Pack

    I Sarge, I finally got one, but I was a little concerned about if the Seeker could hold the Karma Drone. One video recommended against it, so I was apprehensive when I tried and found the Seeker too small. But after reading kaponski's post on the Seeker, I tried a second time, and Bingo it...

    How is karma in 2020

    The Karma is a great quad, I've used several and it is a pleasure to use. Does it get glitchy at times? Yes, but they all do, it's not something unique to the Karma, it's not even something more than average.
