General: Recall: GoPro drone Karma could crash

10 November 2016 by the editorial office

Market: GoPro is recalling its first camera drone, the Karma, which went on sale a few weeks ago. Occasionally there were interruptions in the power supply during the flight and the drones, which weighed around 1 kg, fell to the ground. GoPro says they are examining the background. Karmas that appear to be working without any problems should also be sent back to GoPro.

A catastrophe for GoPro: Just a few weeks after its market launch, the action camera specialist has been forced to recall all Karma drones sold. It has been discovered that power interruptions during flight could occur, leading to a crash. Depending on the altitude, the drones are then subject to a crash despite their low weight of approximately 100 kg. 1.000g to a danger.

For the moment, GoPro is refunding the full purchase price of the drone, there is currently no exchange device because you don't seem to know where the problem is. Anyone who already owns one of the almost 3.000 Karma drones sold should contact GoPro to clarify the details of the recall.
