I'm very, very worried now.
I have made 3 flights so far with the Drone, my last flight was just a few days ago in Bruges - Belgium.
I had a GPS lost connection, however and luckily - and I really mean luckily after everything I've been reading here - I was able to regain control and land the drone, never flew back since that event after the things I've been reading here. Honestly I'm thinking to return it to Amazon and buy something else.
Like someone said here - and very right - we are in the beginnings of this drone thing and like cell phone needs its time to become reliable and pristine, until that day I guess there is better things to spend £900.00 on.
What I find outrageous from a company like GoPro is putting the fault on the users, on those that trusted that their well and hard deserved money with lame excuses. There is several erros here, the main one is that there is dozens of reports of drones flying away, from some of the recovered ones that release videos of there crashes is easily seen that is not a lack of pilots ability, literally the drone takes is own imitative sand decisions, even if we didn't had videos from crashes is it difficult to assume that something is wrong? Isn't to many drones flying away to, at least, raise suspicion?
I'm sorry to disagree with some of you that believe this is pilots error, I don't agree in fully, is way to many events.
The other major error of GoPro is that they fail to state on manuals website and etc the "limitations" of the Drone (not just Karma) instead they try to avoid exposure. For me it sounds that not even GoPro was - is - aware of this issue, but they should by now. They are being slow and negligent not assuming this and take action - maybe afraid of another callback? Maybe because this would be a big - and maybe last - strike on the Karma Drone?
I do actually develop and build very complex machines filled with software, hardware, electronics and power-electronics for high end industries with great safety and reliability standards. There is so many signs here of an unfinished and well stress tested product. But worse and surprisingly, a very poor customer support.
