GoPro’s Karma “Much More than a Drone” Available Now in the UK

 GoPro have announced their complete Karma system – which includes a small drone which can carry a GoPro camera on it, is now available in the UK via GoPro.com and selected online retailers.

The Karma system can be purchased without a GoPro camera for those who already own one for £869.99 or bundled with the company’s latest HERO5 Black GoPro camera for £1,199.99

Karma features a compact, fits-in-a-small-backpack design and includes an image-stabilisation grip that can be handheld or mounted to vehicles, gear and more, making it easy for anyone to capture smooth, stabilised video during almost any activity.

“Karma packs Hollywood-calibre aerial, handheld and gear-mounted image stabilisation into a backpack for £1,199.99. It’s so easy to use, a beginner can have fun straight away,” said a statement on behalf of GoPro.

A key piece of the Karma solution is the extension cable for Karma Grip which will be available from early April and is then being rolled out globally.

Thanks to the extension cable, the handheld and mounted experience will become even simpler. For example, on a hike the battery and body of the Grip can be comfortably stowed away in your backpack while your camera is attached to the shoulder strap and connected with the extension cable capturing immersive and stable footage.

Karma aims to provide what GoPro describes as, “a painless out-of-the-box experience unlike any other drone in the market.”

Compact and foldable, the entire system fits into the included backpack that’s… “so comfortable to wear during any activity, users will forget they’ve got it on.”

A game-style controller features an integrated touch display, “…making it fun, fast and easy to fly without the need for a separate phone or tablet to see what your drone sees.”

The 3-axis camera stabilizer can be removed from the drone and attached to the included Karma Grip “…for capturing ultra-smooth handheld and gear-mounted footage.”
