    Karma Altitude

    Sorry, it's been a while since I flew my drone. I just powered it on and I see they made a change to how it works in this last update. You can turn off the flight limit completely, but you can't set it to a new setting. To do that, once your controller has connected to the Karma, swipe up so...

    Karma Altitude

    Sorry, I'm not near my drone, or I'd explain this better. I have not done it myself, but I saw that I could do it. If you have the latest update, you have to turn "Sport Mode" ON. If you're on the older version of software, it's turn "Easy Mode" OFF. From there, you should be able to go...

    Anyone Buying the new karma?

    I bought one about six weeks ago. My first drone and first GoPro. It’s been fun so far. I went to the site to buy a GoPro and didn’t know much about drones. I did some research, weighed the options of buying a Mavic with a built in camera vs. the Karma Grip / drone and the detachable GoPro...
