Got this last year on eBay from GoPro. And it looked new. No smudges scratches or anything. And I’ve loved it. It’s hard to fly at times because it doesn’t connect. But it’s still a lot of fun and to me worth it since it’s only 300
I ordered one the day I saw this video. I received it a few days ago. Everything looks brand new. Drone still had its plastic on it. Took it for a test flight today - so far so good. Thanks for the video!
I got a brand new un used gopro karma drone kit with a gopro hero 6 black all the gimbal accessories 20 gopro hero accessories 4 batteries for the drone 12 propellers the gimbal exstention 2 256gb memory cards gimbal case drone case mic adapter and a few other items for 400 bucks what do you think of that @Airphotography
I am so tempted to buy one of these; but battery life of only 15-20mins. What do you recommend for a newbie like me; just got my gopro 7 from costco and just loving it!
Honestly you can’t go wrong for the price. They are not the most advanced drone on the market nowadays but for the price you get the hand stabilizer plus they are super fun to fly👍
Thanks for the link and I placed an order instantly! This a serious deal and it's worth more than $299 even if I just use it for replacement parts for my original Karma Drone.
Just received mine today. Not a scratch in sight. Looks like it’s brand new drone and controller. No complaints for the price. Crossing fingers for no fly aways
I received mine a few days ago and took it for a test flight today - so far so good. Everything that came with mine looks brand new. The drone itself still had its plastic on it.
I can never figure out why almost everyone says 15 -20 plus flight time . I have 4 I know no one who remotely gets those times you will get about 12 minutes on average when you hit 4 minutes remaining it want you to return once you get around under 3 minutes it will go into return and land mode . If you touch down with 4 minutes it won’t allow you to take off .the flight time on most drones are grossly exaggerated.
Does karma have geo fencing? I can’t fly my mavic at home now after an update hinking bout getting a karma refurb. I don’t fly very high at all. I like to be at tree top level and airplanes don’t fly that low here over he field out back of the house
I purchased my Karma for $539 with Hero 5 from Best Buy and was advertised as Close Out. I had to bring it back as controller never paired up with drone. The second kit when through all the set up steps flawlessly. I purchased a Hero 7 for $300 with trade in off old camera (any camera) through Go Pro. I will sell the Hero 5 later
I'm surprised you can fly this in Canada. Where about in Canada. I'm in Ontario and checked the laws around here and no way I can fly it due to so many small airports around.
There are many places you can fly. I only avoid airports and helicopter areas. You can use AirMap to give you a general idea of where you are able to fly.
The harness that holds the camera. The drone will not fly unless a GoPro HERO4/5/6/7 is attached (to use a HERO4 you need to purchase a different harness).
@@AirPhotography Thanks for the heads up! I am new to the go pro world and so far I cannot be any happier! I have watched most of your videos, which has helped me a lot! I really appreciate it! Greetings from Costa Rica!
Great review but I think the Karma is garbage. I kept losing video feed going past 400 yards. Not a good feeling when you lose video feed. I had sold mine a year ago and glad I did. I'm flying a Mavic 2 Pro and loving it. That Ocusync 2.0 is just amazing. $299 is a good price though..
@@AirPhotography Do you or anyone else know why you can't seem to find them in retail stores anymore?? Is GoPro discontinuing the Karma drone or is there plans that a new one is coming out?
Yes in Europe the new ones sells for less than the refurbished ones at GoPro EMEA!!! (Scandinavian dealer Dustin Home had more than 100 new units available before xmas.)
Even for $300 it would be hard to trust this drone to do anything and may ending up being more of a liability. If it flies away on its own, there goes $700 (if you load it with a GoPro 7 Black), if it loses connectivity, it could end up landing in traffic and causing an accident or injuring a person if it lands on someone.
You must have gotten lucky...just got mine. It was totally all scratched up and looked like crap. Or maybe they've run out of the good ones. Had it known it had so much wear and tear, never would have ordered it.
Haha very true. I’m an old-school flyer, I started out long before the days of GPS or altitude hold. Having no sensors doesn’t bother me. Don’t get me wrong I love my DJI drones, but the Karma is fun to fly
im so sad they dont have this anymore...
I agree, I wish GoPro would’ve pushed forward and continue to develop and refine it further. I think now we would have one that was really good

I have one of these. I have not had any problems. The drone is cool but the karma grip is everything. I have 4 batteries 😂😂😂
I bought mine new 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 so yeah this a steal.

I wonder when we will see discounts on the remaining spare parts like arms and landing gear.
I’m kind of curious how much stock gopro has on parts And refurbished drones
They are selling the refurbished ones for 729€ in Europe!
I’m tempted to buy but hesitant because of bad press I’ve heard. Any thoughts that might help? Thanks!

No!
So how many gopro karma drones do you have right now? You have an old review and tutorial video from a karma drone from 2 or 3 years ago
Does anyone have any experience buying from GoPro USA for the UK? Really want this but it is £699 in the UK.
Can't believe I missed this deal. Hoping they bring it back, but super doubtful 2 years later lol
Hi, and thanks for all the tips. Just got one for Christmas and love it.
May consider this one. Other drones would be nice but since price is an issue for me I will check it out.
I want to buy it but I think the link has been disabled...isn’t it?

Page is still there for me. So the hero7 silver won't work?
No unfortunately hero seven black only
This has gone out of stock. Has this happened before. Do they restock? Thanks. 😘
Mine is being delivered today. I am hoping it's as nice as yours.
And did that drone include a camera?
No that was a separate purchase or in my case I already had one kicking around that was compatible
I'm surprised you can fly this in Canada. Where about in Canada. I'm in Ontario and checked the laws around here and no way I can fly it due to so many small airports around.
There are many places you can fly. I only avoid airports and helicopter areas. You can use AirMap to give you a general idea of where you are able to fly.
Flight time??
Lol, have they already taken down the site you bought it from, I get a ‘Page Not Found’ prompt. 😕
It could be a regional thing to check for sure just go to the GoPro website and search for karma drone, it should be the first thing that comes up
What is it that makes it only compatible with specific GoPro. Will it work with knockoff GoPro?
The harness that holds the camera. The drone will not fly unless a GoPro HERO4/5/6/7 is attached (to use a HERO4 you need to purchase a different harness).
Just tried the link, flashed up briefly then dissapeared, maybe they are all gone
It could be a regional thing, that link was for Canada Or US. Maybe try a search for karma drone and see if the appropriate link will pop up for you
Hey bro, does the $299 includes the controller as well? That'd be awesome!
Yes it’s a complete set no different than if you bought it retail minus a camera
@@AirPhotography Thanks for the heads up! I am new to the go pro world and so far I cannot be any happier! I have watched most of your videos, which has helped me a lot! I really appreciate it! Greetings from Costa Rica!
@@AirPhotography Aaaaand I just ordered mine haha.
Thank you
Nice, enjoy your new Karma 🙂

I was all set to buy a DJI Spark until I saw this video. It’s my first drone. What do you recommend? I already have a GoPro 7 black camera.
Dr. DCT i think Dji spark better. It’s easy to carry and doesn’t need good pilot skills. Chers
I'm guessing you cant buy them brand new no more
Some retail store still carry them, Whatever old stock they had left
@@AirPhotography I been to a ton of retail stores cant find them anywhere and gopro is out of stock on the refurbished
@@AirPhotography Do you or anyone else know why you can't seem to find them in retail stores anymore?? Is GoPro discontinuing the Karma drone or is there plans that a new one is coming out?
Yes they are hard to come by now. Gopro shuttered their drone business and at this time there’s no plans on releasing any new ones
@@AirPhotography Thanks for the reply.
I can’t find them anymore
Thanks for sharing great review I wouldn’t have bought it if I didn’t see your video
Rico 10x same here. Ordered mines same day after watching lol
The gymbal is 299 by itself
That is one heck of a good buy. Anxious to see some footage from it
Wish they do that here in Australia
i m in euope and refurbished karma price on the official web is 729
Unfortunately in UK £699 :(
Yes in Europe the new ones sells for less than the refurbished ones at GoPro EMEA!!! (Scandinavian dealer Dustin Home had more than 100 new units available before xmas.)
Link do not work !
Try doing a search on the website for karma drone and see if it comes up that way for you. Might be due to being international
@@AirPhotography i tried but the is not found or error 404 page.
I found it by searching refurbished Karma drone in google - first link was all it took.
Even for $300 it would be hard to trust this drone to do anything and may ending up being more of a liability. If it flies away on its own, there goes $700 (if you load it with a GoPro 7 Black), if it loses connectivity, it could end up landing in traffic and causing an accident or injuring a person if it lands on someone.
After watching this video I went ahead and purchased one as well. Weird is mine had plastic on the drone, thinking it maybe be new I don’t know 🤷🏻♂️
Great deal, can't get this in Spain - interesting review - many thanks for sharing :)
You must have gotten lucky...just got mine. It was totally all scratched up and looked like crap. Or maybe they've run out of the good ones. Had it known it had so much wear and tear, never would have ordered it.
it does have a 14 day money back guarantee - call them. You might have to complain a little.
i was considering getting a karma grip...this thing's a no brainer!
That’s awesome. Even just for the gimbal.
That is so so cheap. The way to go I say. Want one now , do like the look of these drones. Cheers.
Looks like a good deal until you check the price from uk/Europe gopro site... £699 ( $1190 Canadian) 👎
729 Euros in Germany. Hilarious. You can get a used DJI mavic Pro Platinum in good shape for that money. By far a better deal.
Good!But now Karma is out of stock on gopro web!
Can I buy I am frome india
I’m not sure you’ll have to check the GoPro website to see if this deal is applicable in your country
299? Wow, at germany we must pay above 700 euros for refurbished modules :-(
I got one and it was unmarked looked brand new
gee this is a great idea well bought hope you have fun with it stay safe see ya
Well that’s insanely cheap. Usually I’d never get this but with that price, I have no choice.
Great deal! Page still there!
It’s a pos, mine flew away never to be seen again. Save your money. GoPro care sucks too.
I guess user error, every drone fly away is generally due to user error.
Hi ima a new Subscriber can you teach me how to edit video
For a minimalist creator like you, this giant yet incapable drone is a bit absurd =)
Haha very true. I’m an old-school flyer, I started out long before the days of GPS or altitude hold. Having no sensors doesn’t bother me. Don’t get me wrong I love my DJI drones, but the Karma is fun to fly
am so going to get one . am a subscriber now
Thanks for sharing, I take one ;)
Steal for those in US!
So where is the follow-up video, did it crash like they all do while you were filming it? LOL
299 CAD? Take my money lol
299? lol, yeah sure. get me two for that price ill buy them from you.
what a waiste of time
