Comment on GoPro is recalling its Karma droneparent

Comments

I have built my own drone, for racing, but also for toying with soldering, electronics and repairability, but I also follow the commercial offerings. Most of my friends are getting a DJI Mavic, even though they already own GoPro cameras for their quadcopters.

A Karma will cost you, if you already own a suitable GoPro, $800. If you don’t already have a GoPro that fits the Karma, you can get the Karma bundled with either a Hero5 Session for $1,000 or a Hero5 Black for $1,100.

That includes the drone, the stabilisation gimbal rig, the remote, and the padded backpack.

In comparison a DJI Mavic Pro is $999.

They were beaten by DJI that launched a week after them, and people are more interested in the Mavic, that combined with them not having shipped a whole lot of them (they are even canceling orders now because of this issue) is why you see such low sale figures.
