    The idea of this drone is great from GoPro. The follow through is lacking. Let me be clear, it is really easy to fly the Karma for the most part. That's not the problem. The problem is there are no sensors which will most likely lead to a crash. For multiple reasons. While hovering, the drone can move 10 feet in any direction. That's a big no no, especially if trying to land manually. Additionally, another reason I say this is now that they fixed the battery issue another problem is creeping up. The stabilizer are beginning to malfunction. Mine stopped working luckily before flight. If it stops working while in flight, the drone may crash while returning to the operator. The drone need the stabalizer's operating to fly. I've seen hundreds of people with the same problem. The general response from GoPro is to reset firmware. That does not fix this issue as it is a hardware issue. I went on a photo shoot where I needed to use a drone. I thought I would try the Karma out. Before I even got to use it the stabilizer went out. I tried to get it replaced. However since I was in Hawaii, no one carried parts. GoPro was unwilling to send us a replacement park until I sent the other back. However, with travel time etc, I was unable to get a replacement in time. I'm a full-time photographer. If my equipment doesn't work, I can't produce a proper product. I've been a customer of GoPro since year one. Their customer service has gone down the toilet. They have forgotten what got them to lead a new industry. Hopefully they fix these issues and they will have a decent product. They do also need to figure out a follow mode. It would be easy to add. However, I believe they don't put it on this model because the drone would not be able distance itself from objects. Hopefully in the next model this will be a must. Also, another problem was the screen on my controller went to 2%. I thought it had turned off. If in a bright area you can't see your screen, it will likely lead to a crash. I never touched the settings to change the brightness, so there is some kind of bug in it. Luckily I was still able to fly it back without the use of the screen. Anyway, at this time I would not recommend this product in its form.

    I'm about a month into this purchase and I am enjoying the drone and have not had any problems with it. I'm going on vacation at the end of the month and plan on taking it with me.

    It's actually a pretty nice drone, when it works. Needs some major updates and is unfortunately no longer supported. Major bummer because the gopro cameras are top notch.

    I was torn with this drone. On one hand, the quality is great as expected with GoPro, on the other the battery is terrible at a paltry 15 minute average. If it would have been at least 20-25 I could deal, but 15 is terrible.

    This drone is very nice and handy in its own case. I bought the karma thinking it would work with my session as it says on the packaging. It will not work with the session because the harness isn't available yet.

    DONT BUY!!!

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Do not waste your money on this drone!! It sounds cool and fun on paper and is easy to fly. First off Best Buy does not even give you the option to purchase a protection plan. Two if you accidentally crash it the propeller blades are very fragile and all of them will break costing you more money. Three GoPro will also make you jump through all kinds of hoops to try and get it fixed because they only really want to help if its some kind of manufacture error. Lastly not a single drone repair shop will work on it or even has parts to fix it. Mine hit the ground once and one of the most important functions of the drone malfunctioned. Save a little more money and buy the Mavic like I should have in the first place
