    Is the karma discontinued or not?

    Done, kaput, no longer supported!

    Gopro Karma has not found the camera, please install a camera

    Sounds like a harness problem. I'd take the harness off of the stabilizer, clean everything, reassemble and try again.

    Gopro Karma has not found the camera, please install a camera

    How did you try to fix it? (what have you done so far?)

    Is GoPro still honoring the Karma recall?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say NO!

    Controller can't connect or pair with karma after update

    Yep - pretty sure they don't care!! I also have their cameras, and will probably continue to upgrade as needed.

    Controller can't connect or pair with karma after update

    Hate to say it but I think it's time to move on to a better platform! Support will not get any better moving forward. Pretty sure "support" as it stands now, is only a CYA exercise (on GoPro's part) as there are potential lawsuits if one of these falls out out the air at 250 feet and kills...

    Unreliable start-up

    If you need mission critical you'll need to bail on the Karma. GP has discontinued service and you won't be getting a call back - you may however, be able to subscribe to their GP Care program (not sure if they will actually cover the Karma) for paid support. What you are experiencing is...

    How many Karma's are still flying?

    True, it is a little lean ‘round here! Mine is still flying but every time I take her up there’s a nagging feeling I’ll have a fly away. So, with that, am always cautious with how far I go or what I’m around. One (meaning me 😬) would also think that after 5ish years, there have been massive...

    Video/Photo selection intermittently not showing (Controller screen)

    (Intermittent problem starting to piss me off :mad:, thought I posted this before but can't find if I did) About 50% of the time, now, I'll go through startup - everything seems to boot up correctly but the video/photo icon on the lower right of the controller is "missing". And, the controller...

    What should I move to?

    HAHAHA, yes I did! Karma is NO dream in "decent" winds, near obstacles either. How is the avoidance in high winds? Will it get pushed into something or will it move out of the way?

    What should I move to?

    @Vidtuition - OK that is an impressive drone if it does everything it says it will!? Little on the pricey side (2x the Karma) but I'm guessing you get what you pay for?? Have you tried flying it into anything yet? Does the avoidance work?

    What should I move to?

    I like my Karma but I think we all know, things are coming to an end :confused:... Along those lines, I use mine (mostly) for Real Estate video and aerial pics. In all of ya'alls experience what would be the best platform/drone to move (up) to (under $2,500) once our Karma options are exhausted.

    Have you seen the old iphonedo review?

    Never saw this one - hilarious (and everything is TRUE!)

    Controller red-circle button to start/stop videos and photos

    Also have similar issues where the media (on screen) button doesn't show and or is greyed out. In most cases I can shut down and restart (usually several times) and it starts working. Seems these little idiosyncrasies are the norm with the Karma; guessing hardware/firmware updates will be...
