Karma, GoPro's drone for video and photo capture
Let's start with the price, OK?
€870! but
you'll discover why it's worth what it costs,
and it may even
seem cheap to you! Seriously!
Not long ago I announced that Kyosho was launching its first drone, and it's logical for an RC brand to release a drone; but GoPro went further and launched a drone designed to capture video and photography with the quality of this great brand. In my personal opinion this is going to be the most powerful drone on the market! Incredible!
The most versatile drone ever created — and it had to be GoPro! Official release date: 23 October 2016
For its lightweight, ultra-portable design! For its camera + flight game-style control, easy to use. For up to 20 minutes of flight time on a one-hour charge. For its stabilizer to shoot vibration-free video, handheld or mounted. For the range of shooting scenes the
Karma offers automatically — for all this and much more, this is going to be the drone of the year and we'll see how long it takes for someone to surpass it!
Everything you'll find in the KIT!
