I had a similar experience this past fall while vacationing in Turks and Caicos. I calibrated my Karma prior to flight. just after a normal takeoff the controller reported “lost GPS signal.” My Karma flew away, not responding to the controller. I lost it in the ocean. I contacted GoPro...

I calibrated prior to take off. Auto launched Karma. Took her up to about 40’. Waited a minute before they to direct the Karma. controller stated “GPS” lost. At that point it flew away and would not respond. Auto landed in the ocean.

Flew off the beach after calibrating Karma. Got a “ready to fly” message. Within 60 seconds of a normal take off it reported out “GPS lost” and flew out to sea. I was never able to regain control in spite of my best efforts. I think that there is something wrong with GoPro’s software from...

Thanks for sharing. I have own mine for three years, flying without issues until recently. I have flow in HI, Australia, the USA. Lost control and my Karma in Turks and Caicos in September in the ocean. I calibrated it before take off. Had it up hovering 30’ above me when it reported lost GPS...

Thanks for sharing. I have been trying to get them to talk to me re: my flight log review but I can’t get them to reply. Frustrating...

Mike, what caused the outage? I was in Turks and Caicos last weekend flying my Karma. I calibrated the drone. All seemed fine. Within one minute of flight I lost GPS signal. Karma flew 1000 yards out to sea before “landing in place.” Total loss. Your thoughts?

Prior to flight, Karma pilots must select flight mode. No GPS or GPS. Once you launch, you can not change modes. I calibrated my drone after selecting to use GPS. Auto takeoff was normal: I hovered 20’ in the air prior to starting a filming run alone the shore line. Within one minute of launch...

I had heard of other Karma pilots having control issues. Wondering if it’s a software glitch with programming. My control, drone, etc were current on provided updates.

I have flown in Australia, Hawaii numerous times and in continental US without issue.

I was in Turks and Caicos on 9-26. I calibrated my Karma before launching. Within one minute of launching, I received a message that said “no GPS”. Karma flew out to sea. Last reported position was 900’ from shore in ocean. I was not able to regain control. Karma landed in ocean. Total loss. Has...

I would “discourage” checking in your Karma. Baggage Handlers “toss” just about every bag into and off of the luggage carts and aircraft. Why chance damage.......

Congrats! Karma will provide your family with the ability to capture a number of great new adventures from a different perspective! I recently purchased a new set of props (Master Airscrew) for my Karma after reading a review on GoProPilots. The new props performed as advertised and reported...

Unfortunately, no. The Chinese Military officers present got a tab bit “excited.”

Where did you purchase the custom case?

Hello all, I flew with my family to: China, Hong Kong, Japan, Australia, Hawaii, then back to Colorado this past September with my Karma in a backpack as "carry on" without issue. Had two batteries in backpack. No problems with TSA or airport security in countries mentioned. Only "hiccup"...
