Product news: GoPro drone Karma: sales start again in spring

February 6rd 2017 by the editorial office

News in brief: After the complete recall last year, the GoPro drone Karma will be available again in the next few weeks. The action cam giant took its first drone completely off the market just two weeks after it went on sale and recalled all of the units sold due to problems with the power supply. The problem has now been resolved and the drone will be available again in the spring.

GoPro Karma, the second: After last year's disaster, GoPro is now making another attempt to gain a foothold in the highly competitive drone market. A few weeks after the original start of sales last October, numerous users reported that the drones suddenly lost power and then simply fell out of the sky. GoPro reacted immediately and took the Karma off the market. Previous buyers had to send their device back and were refunded the purchase price.

After detailed analyzes and feverish troubleshooting, the problem now seems to have been identified: A battery cover that doesn't close perfectly was probably the culprit. The error has now been eliminated and the drone will be available again in Germany in the next few weeks.
