The release date of the model was announced in 2016. As promised, GoPro Karma appeared on October 23, 2016. During the announcement the manufacturer was quite stingy with information about the technical capabilities of the copter, so in detail we were able to get acquainted with the characteristics only after its release to the masses.
Externally, the device looks quite stylish and seems comfortable. The declared compactness of the drone is that it is foldable. The package includes a special, very solid backpack, which fits Karma in the folded form. In addition to the quadcopter itself, the backpack accommodates additional parts: remote control, charger, spare batteries and other necessary accessories.
Attention is drawn to the PU of the drone. It looks unusual, looks like a gamer's portable console, and even has a touch screen.
Included is a special handle for shooting on stabilized surfaces. A stabilizer for the camera is attached to the body of the drone. The advantage is that it is detachable and can be used separately from the quadcopter. These two bonuses are ideal for light travelers.
The battery has enough power for a full 20-minute flight. It is able to maintain stability and smoothness in wind speeds up to 10 m/sec. The quadcopter reaches speeds of 56 km/h. Pleased with the flight height: the drone is able to rise to 4.5 km upwards. The range (that is, the maximum distance from the controller with a remote control) - the traditional 1 km.
The dimensions of the quadcopter: 30.3 x 41.1 x 11.7 cm.
The weight of the Karma model is 1 kg.
Benefits of the Karma drone:
- Easy to operate.
- It can record quality video from the air, as well as just from the hands, or even fixing the camera on itself.
- It comes with a handy carrying case for storage and transportation.
Disadvantages of the quadcopter:
- Despite the fact that the drone is foldable, it still takes up significant space.
- Quite a high price. Therefore GoPro Karma is more in demand among professionals than amateurs.
