Features & Appearance

Unlike most products released by the most famous brands, the GoPro Karma Core Drone has compact dimensions, folding beams, and a non-standard camera layout. The rest of the quad was given the standard features of the top drones with the Smart letter: auto take-off, auto-landing, hold-down, return home, etc. When combining a GoPro camera with this accessory, the owner can always capture high-quality photos and video material from the ground.

The quadrocopter made of lightweight ABS plastic in black and white. At first glance, the design looks very fragile, but tests have shown that the quadrocopter withstands substantial impacts and hard landing. The device has a small size, a model with folding beams, and a non-standard option for placing the action camera in front of the invention. According to the manufacturer, this will prevent the silhouettes of propellers from falling into the frame and capture more objects. The GoPro Karma landing gear is hidden under the body when folded. The button for starting the device to work located in the upper part, and the battery pack with charge indication located at the back. The drone’s rays have a slightly rounded shape; under them, there is an LED backlight to simplify drone control. Since there is no Headless Mode, the GoPro Karma sides marked in different colors.

The quadcopter remote control is very convenient to use. It is equipped with a built-in battery, ensuring its autonomous operation for 4 hours. It has one take-off, landing button, which also provides the return of the device home. To special software, customers of GoPro Karma Core Drone will be able to watch the video in real-time and control the current position of the action camera. The remote control with a built-in 720p touch screen made in the form factor of a small laptop. The duration of the remote control charge is approximately 2.5 hours. The significant omissions are the lack of a ‘follow me’ function, as well as the lack of obstacle recognition sensors.
