Just back in after first flight with the Karma. I have had it a few weeks after getting it for an offer I could not refuse but with work shifts did not have time to use it. I took it out today with my DJI Spark. Did a flight with Sparky which was as always then fired up the Karma. Awesome flight, it was off like a rocket and flew so smooth. I was gonna sell it and get a Mavic but after that few minutes flight I think I will keep it.

I received one of these as a gift for Christmas. Finally had a nice day to try it out. Had some supervision from a friend that is obsessed with these kind of things. We went around the yard a few times was kind of thinking maybe these things are all they are cracked up to be. On the third auto land about 6ft from the spot it just took off and ran into a shed about 100ft away! It's about 26ft tall and it hit right on the peak. Hit the ground in pieces... kinda scary and glad it didn't hit anyone! Has anybody ever heard of this happening? I dont have anyway of proving it and dont know if should complain to the company or if this is just a one of those lesson learned things...

Have you tried contacting GoPro's support and telling them your situation. They are usually pretty good about replacing defective products. Maybe they could send you a new battery if you tell them what happened. If not, the Karma battery is on sale for $60 on GoPro's site. But, I bet they would send you a new one if you explain your case.

I was using them with the hero 7 and the H7 likes to turn on by itself and basically just do repetitive push-ups with the stabilizer while on its side, until I realized they were turned on and it was basically destroying itself...

Is the "FT" based on the altitude from sea level and the elevation gain is the altitude from where the drone took off".

The gimbal allows you to tilt the camera up and down. To pan left or right, you rotate the drone. There is a home button on the controller that automatically brings Karma back to you or the launch spot. And, yes, the camera can be used in the gimbal on the Karma Grip (which comes with the drone) for handheld shots when you don't want to fly your drone.. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

You didn't mention anything about calibrating? I have calibrated the drone at home, took it to the park then it has asked to calibrate again. We did it again and still didn't work. Took it home started it outside the house and it worked. Dowloaded the map, took it to the same park still didn't work. Keeps on asking to move to another area or calibrate. HELP so frustrating.
@JordanHetrick7 жыл бұрын
Calibrating is pretty simple and the Karma Controller lets you know when the drone needs calibration. If you are experiencing magnetic interference, it's often caused by a metal object too close to your drone. Are you trying to launch from a concrete area at the park? Sometimes they put rebar in the concrete and it interferes with your drone. Try moving to a grass or dirt area and see if that makes a difference.

What happens if drone losses signal or get out of batery in the air? Does it comes back to you by it self?
@JordanHetrick6 жыл бұрын
If the drone loses signal, it uses GPS to return towards the take off spot until it reconnects to the controller's signal again. When the battery gets low, the drone also automatically returns home, but you can cancel the auto return. If you cancel it a couple of times until the battery goes completely dead, it will eventually land straight down.
