If there was a market in which GoPro had not yet dared to venture, that was the world of drones, but it seems that they have launched into the adventure with the presentation of the GoPro Karma drone.
They have taken advantage of the launch of their renewed flagship product, the GoPro Hero 5 action camera, to present the GoPro Karma drone, which has a price of € 869 (without the camera, which would have to be purchased separately).
The first thing that has surprised is its price, perhaps a little high if we consider that we have to buy the camera separately, so we must add to that € 869 other € 329. Although the reality is that the model DJI Phantom 4 costs € 1399 in its most basic model, but also offers better specifications as a drone to have greater range.
One of the great innovations of the GoPro Karma drone is its folding design, which allows it to be stored in a backpack 320mm wide and 540 mm high. A size quite manageable in comparison to other drones.
As for the remote control, equipped with a remote control with five-inch touch screen , from which we can see the image that is capturing the camera from the air. The maximum separation between drone and command is 1000m (1KM) , does not reach the distances of the drones of the competition but it may be enough for many users.
What fascinated me about the Karma Drone is the addition of the Karma Grip accessory to fix the GoPro Hero camera to the drone. The Karma Grip works coupled to the drone or can also be used as a hand accessory and consists of a three-axis stabilizer with a range of more than an hour and a half.
Other technical specifications of the Karma Drone are: weight of 1006 grams, autonomy of 20 minutes of flight and maximum speed of the drone 56 Km / h .
