GoPro Karma News: GoPro's Drone Re-launched After Being Recalled; Device Deserves 2nd Chance [VIDEO]
GoPro had faced issues on its GoPro Karma drone as there have been instances that the device will lose its power while on a flight and tumble down to the ground. Now, the Karma drone has been re-launched appearing that it deserves a second chance.
According to Business Insider, it has been three months when GoPro Karma drone had taken a break due to some battery issues. It can be remembered that GoPro recollected 2,500 units of GoPro Karma and provisionally canceled shipments after encountering news that some Karma drones would lose power while flying and drop back down to the ground.
GoPro has publicized through a blog post that it reformed the battery latch on the Karma, which it asserts that led to a huge enhancement. But then, the American multi-national company doesn't state that it was the cause of the original power-loss issue.
Furthermore, it was pointed out in news last November that the front-heavy design of the GoPro karma drone, led to more shakings than traditional drones making the Karma work harder to stay stable. As a result of the extra vibrations, the GoPro Karma's removable battery could sometimes loosen making it lose power while in flight. This basically led GoPro to restructure the battery latch of the Karma Drone.
As per the GoPro Karma Drone's specs, The American Genius has learned that this device features the ease-of-use and portability elements that GoPro HERO and SESSION cameras are known for. Also, the GoPro Karma seems to supply to those who live a mostly dynamic or adventurous lifestyle. Also, this device can be easily folded making it certainly transportable through a backpack. Lastly, GoPro Karma drone's controller comes fortified with a touchscreen and a couple of joysticks.
When it comes with the price, GoPro Karma is available starting at $799.99 for the drone itself. But then it is also obtainable for $1,099.99 as a bundle featuring the Karma drone and the HERO5 Black camera. Hopefully, with the adjustments made by GoPro, Karma drone can prove that it deserves a second chance.
