Hello Everyone,
Happy Sunday! I'd like to share with you my story. I own a Karma with a Hero5, today I decided to fly my Karma in Huntington Beach, CA. I’m very conscious about flying anywhere due to a previous incident and flying laws. Weather was great about 5 mile winds and clear sky. After safety checks, Karma was in the air about five feet off the ground. Later on, about 10 to 15 seconds of hovering the remote said “compass interference”. After that Karma went up in the air about 20 to 30 feet, and the control didn’t respond at all. Attempt to land it without luck, everything in the control was going crazy. Joy sticks didn’t work at all. I managed to get the Karma back to the sand area by moving joysticks the opposite way, but it was going farther and farther from where I was located. I chase after the drone, about half a mile down the sand I can see the Karma was working towards the palms until it crashed. I can’t distinguish the feeling of seeing something go away and you can’t do anything about it. I consider myself lucky the drone didn’t hit or land on someones head. Later on, the whole ordeal, I found the Karma at the bottom of a palm tree where it crashed. GoPro screen cracked, two propellers broken and left rear arm is cracked. It's a frustrating situation and never wish this to anyone. I don’t want to fly this drone ever again, like I mentioned earlier, this is my second bad experience with the Karma.
Thank you,
