GoPro Karma Grip Unboxing | Setup & Sample Footage

[@MrAttilaabri]

This is exactly what I needed, I'm literally climbing Mont Blanc today and you just have me the confidence to take it with me for the journey. Thank you!

[@blastersghost]

Attila Abri how did it go?

[@donjohnsmusic3116]

This is great! Late to the party, just ordered one after spending too much time editing shaky footage! Can’t wait to try this out!

[@toytalkers881]

Pulled out my older gear and revisited this video to remind myself how to use this ...thanks again for putting so much time and effort into your videos.

[@rbruce63]

Thanks for the earnest report! I bought mine used for a song, however, it didn’t come with the mounting ring for the chesty strap, nor the wrist strap or the hard case. I found one mounting ring cheaply on eBay plus a carrying case for the camera and the grips! I’ll be using it with my Hero 4 black, albeit, the resistance to the elements is compromised!

[@justinromero3655]

Finally, a positive review of the karma grip! Thank you! Will be getting one soon. Idk if you made a video about it yet, but I would love a video on which setting can give you a more cinematic footage on the hero 5. Thanks!

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Thanks for your reviews sir. I am a long time subscriber and you have helped me improve my video producing abilities. I don't comment often but just wanted to say thanks for what you do and keep it up.

[@AirPhotography]

+Buffalo's Outdoors thank you very much for the kind words :)

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Now I definitely want the karma grip now think it's a better deal though to get the karma grip with the drone

[@adventuringoutdoorswitheric]

The way you did this review is the best I've seen. You explained this gimble basically inside and out and showed us examples. Showed us all its strength and its weaknesses. You've pretty much sold me on this and I'm gonna definitely get one. I just Subscribed! Thank you.

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks for the kind words… Welcome aboard I hope you enjoy my channel 🙂

[@krisforde2853]

thanks for this vid...literally was second guessing the purchase of the hero 6 and this until watching your video..now just waiting for the grip to charge so i can go play with it

[@peterdzelmanis4370]

Hello from England. Thank you for information it was most helpful. I can’t wait to get started , I’m just waiting for the battery to fully charge then do an update . Then out to the glorious Peak District.

[@AirPhotography]

+Peter Dzelmanis nice :)

[@bharatthapa2736]

viewed this video after 3 years since uploaded to youtube, still find very useful. I bought GoPro Karma Grip just now with discounted price and video helped me alot.

[@princetonjoshua3028]

pro trick : watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies recently.

[@kameronarian5537]

@Princeton Joshua yup, been watching on Flixzone for since december myself :)

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Thanks. I have the GoPro Karma Drone, and the Grip came with it. I recently dusted it off, even though I haven't flown the drone in a while. But, I figured I could use the Grip with my GoPro 6 Black in the meantime. Especially now with the coronavirus quarantine, I might step out for a few and film the empty streets for later use as stock footage. Stay safe.

[@rbruce63]

How do you like the Karma Drone? Would you recommend on buying a used Karma Drone on this day and age?

[@JimboMountain]

only just found your channel today, by far the best GoPro based channel here

[@AirPhotography]

+Jamie Mountain thank you for the kind words :)

[@shipperfan13]

Air Photography The only reason I hesitate is the price

[@AirPhotography]

+Travel Tech Photography yes I can understand that

[@SlicedAsiago]

Pulled 32 muscles, story of my life. Great unboxing video!

[@keitholsen8787]

Wanted to get this and try it out with the attachment for my Tamiya CC-01 chasis

[@cathieoaks5916]

Wow Im so happy I found your channel! Purchased my very first go pro and got too carried away that I bought the one with the drone😄 I saw you got tutorial too so thanks again cant wait too learn more. Great awesome review!! So easy to follow especially for beginners like me!! Regards to your beautiful family!

[@AirPhotography]

+CathieOaks thank you very much :)

[@rsparker922]

I've had one for a few months and I agree with the review. As stated the only downside is the screen blockage. If I needed to view the screen for critical shots I held the gimbal upside down - also not ideal - but useable.

[@AirPhotography]

+rs parker I am going to try and rig something where I can mount my phone on it if I really need a good view of what I'm filming. Wouldn't need it for every day use but if I am filming something very specific it might be handy

[@rsparker922]

Good idea, I never thought of that. I'll wait to see what you come up with.

[@rsparker922]

I still haven't figured out what the velcro strip is for.

[@AirPhotography]

+rs parker and yeah it confused me at first as well. What it is for is when you attach the grip to an extension pole you can wrap the Velcro around the base to keep it steady. I forgot to include that in my video. The only reason I figured that out is because GoPro released their new El grande extension pole and in one of the promo shots they have the karma grip attached to it and the Velcro holding it firm.

[@AirPhotography]

+rs parker i'll probably make a video about it when I come up with something LOL

[@muhammadkrishnapranajulian7750]

Can we do a vertical/portrait shot with this gimbal?

[@chasebutler2665]

The GoPro website currently shows this as being on sale at $99 but when I add it to my cart and go to checkout it jumps back to full price....

[@jdgsxr1243]

Thank you for your videos, you helped me a lot trough a lot of my questions. Have you tips to remove the camera from the karma grip mounting? I have this struggle and I was wondering if you have some tricks to get it out easily

[@mspcity100]

When press power button on gimble, gopro will turn on automatically, but when turn off gimble , gopro doesn’t turn off automatically?

[@Jensum1]

Thank you for your very informative video!!! Go Pro should hire you!!

[@AirPhotography]

+Jennifer Summe lol thanks :)

[@Lucas_FPV]

what song did you use at the very beginning

[@alexanderkarlsen1138]

Nice review, it was so interesting so when the video was done I thought it was only 8 minutes long, haha. Nice job man, going to buy this thing tomorrow.

[@ahmedal-kanan721]

AWESOME and professional as always, keep it up 👍

[@skorpiolovesmith]

Thank you I found the video very helpful!

[@YourSayUTube]

Great video. I want to ask if this grip could be used as a selfie/vlog stick to record yourself? Thank you

[@dianasoto9296]

How Come Yours Came With A Case??

[@philbuglass4857]

Finally made up my mind, but is unavailable on Amazon, and they don't know if it will be back... Have gopro dropped this from their line?

[@dlrpmagic]

Hi, great quality i see but a bit expensive... soe the case is included? that's good. About the battery, you can change the battery of the camera itself if the Karma is battery is empty? And how long does the Karma battery work? I assume much longer than the camera battery? Also, is the Karma also water resistant? Thanks.

[@AirPhotography]

Unfortunately when purchasing the karma no longer includes a case… For some reason GoPro change that a few months in to release. The karma is not water resistant.

[@dlrpmagic]

OK thanks

[@batresfamily2778]

Question: so the karma is not meant to record yourself while you hold it if you wanted too?

[@normnilsson7208]

Im seriously thinking about buying one very soon, one question, can you do selfies and will it do some kind of face recognition to keep your face in screen

[@shipperfan13]

Thé video i was waiting for.this karma grip looks really Nice

[@AirPhotography]

+Travel Tech Photography yes it really is nice I was quite surprised at how much I really do like it

[@sabugdalantx]

Amazing video and thank you; may I asked why you didn't have to calibrate it? So if you have Hero 4 Silver, I need to buy a separate harness?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes you will need the hero 4 harness. Calibration is not necessary and should only be done if there is a problem

[@sabugdalantx]

Thank so much.

[@sabugdalantx]

Hi so I got my Karma Grip been testing it on my way to work about 20 or minute drive one way since school is out, I notice that Karma Grip I may get about good two hours from it before having to charge it for another 4 to 6 hours. Any tips and how do you disable it from charging your gopro cause that may help save some battery.

[@thisninjanerd]

Why do you recommend leaving the mounting ring off? Is there any added benefit to doing that / is it bad to leave it on?

[@AirPhotography]

+thisninjanerd really it doesn't matter either way. It doesn't affect it if it's on.

[@garychestnut6380]

Great review

[@toytalkers881]

I guess I’m unimaginative; I can’t figure out how to mount in top right corner of interior car windshield camera facing driver.

[@owenjennings8575]

Fantastic Review!

[@1784leeroy]

What frame rate did you film the parts when they were in slow mo?

[@kevinaugello]

Thanks for this clear guide - was useful

[@AirPhotography]

Great thank you I’m glad you found it helpful

[@caleboldhouser478]

Great review. I’m buying one today. Do you know if the go pro is still waterproof when using it?

[@caleboldhouser478]

Ok. I just bought it from Best Buy and mine didn’t come with the case?

[@aticonn]

To clarify can you have the Karma grip plugged into an external source and run the grip and a Hero 5 for as long as you have storage on the memory card? (hours).

[@AirPhotography]

+Shawn Kevin yes that is correct you can have the Kermagrin plugged into a power bank and charge the unit well you're using it

[@ADHDWhiskey]

As usual, great video.

[@AirPhotography]

+ADHD Fishing thank you very much

[@missslilyeric]

Super helpful. thank you!

[@kshitijcoolbreeze]

Thanks a ton. This video is really informative :)).

[@michaelmcgee7138]

Are you still using the karma grip?

[@cathieoaks5916]

Btw, does it show "usb connected" everytime you turn it on? Mine does Im not sire if its normal TIA

[@AirPhotography]

+CathieOaks that message pops up on my screen for a second and then goes away

[@garethwilliams3919]

Great review! Thanks

[@SilveryFoxster]

Very good and informative review thanks. Have you experienced the Removu S1 gimbal, it's probably the Karma's main rival. I'm undecided which one to purchase, your advice would be appreciated thanks.

[@AirPhotography]

+Eddie Runcorn unfortunately I have no experience with it. It does look like a nice gamble as well. Sorry I can't be of help. All I can say is I love the karma grip.

[@randycacananta4929]

have you tried removing the battery of Go pro hero 5 before attaching it to the karma grip?

[@AirPhotography]

No I have never tried that but it has a good question if it will work

[@randycacananta4929]

I tried it already. It worked well... thanks

[@mominulhasan6501]

Is Karma grip compatible with Hero 7 Black?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes it is once you update the firmware

[@MikesManCave]

I want this for my Hero6

[@adrianarias266]

I just bought one from bestbuy! I didn’t get traveling case .. is this a change ? Or did they not package it ?

[@fireislandmavic5939]

how did you like the product?

[@AirPhotography]

Yes they stopped including a case last year. It is something you had to purchase separately now unfortunately

[@shlolvy]

Thanks for great review, Is the audio in the forest is from the hero 5? I am asking that because I know that the audio from the hero 5 is muffled when using the Karma grip but in the forest it's sound OK.

[@AirPhotography]

+Shlomi l yes the audio was from my hero session. I find it is a little muffled sometimes. I really wish they would release an update that allowed a microphone to be plugged into the end of the grip via the USBC that would be really nice

[@B16GYG]

nice video keep the good work up bro

[@AirPhotography]

+B16GYG thanks

[@ohheyitskevinc2]

How come every review I’ve seen for this got a case? Mine is just sat in white foam..

[@AirPhotography]

When they first launch the karma grip it included a case. Now you have to purchase it separately. I don’t know I go Pro would do that

[@billythephoenix]

I'm interested in stabilization for my GoPro H5, do you still love the Karma Grip 5 months later?

[@AirPhotography]

+THE PHOENIX Yes I am still super happy with it. I have Used a few gimbals And karma grip is by far still my favorite. Now if you are thinking of purchasing you may want to hold off a week or two because rumor has it on 28 September go Pro is updating the karma grip to include a joystick.

[@billythephoenix]

Okay thanks and I really enjoy your channel, very informative.

[@AirPhotography]

+THE PHOENIX thank you :)

[@fdavisson]

What video settings did you have your camera set to while walking in the woods?

[@AirPhotography]

I would’ve been filming at 2.7 K 60 frames per second and asked for settings everything would’ve been on auto… No protune

[@yovan1193]

Thanks A lot!💯

[@Parrothed5150]

I'm thinking of getting the drone since you get the grip as well. How is the case?

[@AirPhotography]

+Chuck Ostrom The case is nice and it fits everything well. But I do believe if you order the drone kit you just get the backpack it doesn't come with the karmic grip case

[@Parrothed5150]

Air Photography yeah you can buy the case for an extra $39 if you want it in addition to the backpack. Did you think about getting the drone too?

[@AirPhotography]

+Chuck Ostrom yes I am for sure. I know it is taking a lot of flak but it's still a good drone you can get some spectacular footage and it's affordable compared to other drones. To me it's a fair price for what you all get inside

[@AirPhotography]

+Chuck Ostrom but for me I will order the karma flight kit it's for those who are already own the group they discount 200

[@AirPhotography]

+Chuck Ostrom just ordered my drone today (flight kit) should be here early next week :)

[@Jammasamma]

+1 for mommy trying :-) but about the stabelizer...the battery thing is kinda holding me back.

[@Besterjohnc]

nice video!

[@pattysilvaseg9084]

Nice explanation... you’re helping me a lot..

[@Jojo-yh5bx]

Thank you !!

[@Kevin69x96]

WHAT IS THAT STRAP FOR. FOR THE REMOTE???? IM SO LOST WITH THAT STRAP. I’ve liked watched most of your videos.

[@afonsoalexandre9947]

I just bought mine today from Go Pro Website for 99,99€. Perfect deal

[@Mark-tl5vu]

Would love one of these gimbles but just can't justify the $500aus price tag

[@AirPhotography]

The karma grip is way overpriced in today’s market.

[@BillTheTechnoGypsy]

Mark c - on sale at GoPro for $99.

[@JustSaying_]

Thank you.

[@helpaholic]

Will it work with the GoPro 6

[@AirPhotography]

Yes it works great with the hero 6

[@lordadit]

Better than DSLR

[@nablagrange]

Top video. greetings from germany. i will buy it too

[@AirPhotography]

+Patrick S. Thank you for watching :)

[@Cmiodrag]

are the 4 lights that show the status of the battery, are always on during use of the Karma grip? if so then it is very disturbing in the night

[@timo1294]

👍👌 i Love your Channel .

[@AirPhotography]

+_FreshZombie_ thanks

[@groove.]

good

[@rickbeyers2826]

Got it.

[@bjrnsolum9801]

tnx :)

[@scottdavis7743]

Great video! When you talk, the first of your sentences are very clear and audible, but you lose volume in your voice so much it is hard to here you at the end of your sentence. Thank God for CC. Very informative video, TY.

[@AirPhotography]

Thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback. Always looking to improve my videos

[@andreyprishchepov2473]

They need to make it waterproof like the Hero 5

[@AirPhotography]

+Andrey Prishchepov that would be fantastic if they did, maybe for the next version

[@jesusdied4ursins17]

Romans 8:28 NIV And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who i have been called according to his purpose

[@zerex96]

I love your content, but your audio is always so low on your vids.

[@zerex96]

And then when you went outside I about blew out my speakers lol

[@menshawyshiref]

Hi, thx 4 ur review i think it's too expensive compare with other gimbals and selfie mode and the joystick.

[@iMotoTactic00L]

Over priced.....you can buy another gopro for that price..

[@zenza2694]

Im not fox !!!

[@jakeyabs6270]

Can you speak louder next time...

[@Cosaamia]

Its fine maybe your pc

[@TheKrisJChannel]
