GoPro Karma Review | Trusted Reviews
GoPro Karma review: GoPro's first foray into the world of drones was met with some turbulence, but now that things are flying steady is it worth picking up?
Simple to set up and fly ; Complete system in a backpack ; Good image quality ; Sturdy and well made
Short flight time ; Low transmission range ; No 'follow me' flight modes ; No obstacle detection or indoor modes

GoPro Karma Drone review
The GoPro-powered drone you've been waiting for
Portable, fold-up design ; Total stabilization package ; Tight controls
Lacks collision detection ; Not-so-autonomous auto flight modes ; Short battery life
The GoPro Karma is so much more than a drone, giving you video stabilization in the air and on the ground. However, there are better quads floating around with longer battery life and smarter brains.

GoPro Karma drone review: Good things come to those who wait
It may not be as technologically advanced as its biggest competitor, but it is incredibly simple to control, and doesn't require a smartphone. It
Very easy to control ; Works reliably ; Consistent performance ; Smart flying modes
Not as technologically advanced as competitors ; No obstacle avoidance technology
It may not be as technologically advanced as its biggest competitor, the Mavic Pro, but the GoPro Karma is incredibly simple to control, and doesn't require a smartphone. It battles with the wind and wins, plus it's capable of supporting existing GoPro...

GoPro Karma review
Updated 28/9/17: GoPro's drone didn't quite hit the heights of its rivals, but an update should give it a lift...
A complete package in a slim backpack ; Handy Karma Grip accessory ; Simple flight controls ; Good build quality
No obstacle detection or indoor sensors ; Low transmission range ; No “follow me” flight mode ; Short battery life
A simple, all-in-one drone system for GoPro fans, but it’s still very much flying in DJI’s slipstream

GoPro Karma hands-on review
It fits inside a backpack, zips through the skies at 60 km/h and shoots your adventures in 4K - what's not to like?

GoPro Karma review
GoPro is a brand best known for its action cameras - but is its Karma drone one to add to your shortlist? It comes with a really nice backpack carrier case, but our review reveals whether or not this drone will fill you with confidence or trepidation...

GoPro Karma review: Great camera, so-so drone
Plenty of value here, but the GoPro Karma isn't the most sophisticated flying machine
That, in the end, is the main reason you’d buy a GoPro Karma. If you go for the whole package, including the Hero 5 camera, you’re getting an awful lot for your money. That’s a drone, the very best action camera in the business and a handheld motorised...

GoPro Karma review: A decent drone with stiff competition
On November 8th, 2016, GoPro issued a global recall for the Karma drone following cases of electrical failures causing a loss of power during flight. GoPro advises that owners can return their units to GoPro, or their place of purchase for a full...
If you're interested in drones and looking for a smart flying robot that also shoots video, it's hard to recommend Karma over Mavic. But enthusiasts who are only looking for a drone already knew that and didn't need to read this review. If you've...
