Great tutorial! Just brought home a Karma this evening. Can't wait to get it in the air tomorrow! Your video made set up a snap! Thanks again!

Just back in after first flight with the Karma. I have had it a few weeks after getting it for an offer I could not refuse but with work shifts did not have time to use it. I took it out today with my DJI Spark. Did a flight with Sparky which was as always then fired up the Karma. Awesome flight, it was off like a rocket and flew so smooth. I was gonna sell it and get a Mavic but after that few minutes flight I think I will keep it.

Great video, thank you for making this. I'm new to the Drone world but bought the Karma as my first and love it! I'd like to know how to change the date and also wondering, when you play the video captured, thru the "Quik" software, you can add Gauges to the screen and it shows "FT" and "Elevation Gain". Is the "FT" based on the altitude from sea level and the elevation gain is the altitude from where the drone took off".

I know this was some time ago but im looking to buy one, i heard the karma has been known to just fly away, is that true? Also if there was multiple people flying drones in same area would their controller take over mine by mistake? I know dji is better i hear but i also am buying the gopro 6 so it only makes sense to buy karma. I just want to make sure i dont lose it

I noticed that the GoPro has no cover for the type c ports on the side when taken out of the karma harness. Does it come with a cover in the package so that you can use the camera independently under water?

@JordanHetrick 6 жыл бұрын

Yes, it comes with the side door so you can use your GoPro normally when it's not in the harness.

You didn't mention anything about calibrating? I have calibrated the drone at home, took it to the park then it has asked to calibrate again. We did it again and still didn't work. Took it home started it outside the house and it worked. Dowloaded the map, took it to the same park still didn't work. Keeps on asking to move to another area or calibrate. HELP so frustrating.

@JordanHetrick 6 жыл бұрын

Calibrating is pretty simple and the Karma Controller lets you know when the drone needs calibration. If you are experiencing magnetic interference, it's often caused by a metal object too close to your drone. Are you trying to launch from a concrete area at the park? Sometimes they put rebar in the concrete and it interferes with your drone. Try moving to a grass or dirt area and see if that makes a difference.

Can you move the camera as the DJI Phantom 3 advanced? And can the drone karma come back on the place where it was / where begin to fly ? (as the DJI Phantom 3 advanced? PS; can you also just put the gopro of the karma stick of is it attaching? Please answer thx

@JordanHetrick 6 жыл бұрын

The gimbal allows you to tilt the camera up and down. To pan left or right, you rotate the drone. There is a home button on the controller that automatically brings Karma back to you or the launch spot. And, yes, the camera can be used in the gimbal on the Karma Grip (which comes with the drone) for handheld shots when you don't want to fly your drone.. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

The Karma drone works with the Hero 5 Black or the Hero 4 Black or Silver. To use it with the Hero 4 cameras, you just need to switch out the harness that holds the camera, which is pretty easy.

how if we not found the signal on mountain when we want to start to connect with karma ?

@JordanHetrick 7 жыл бұрын

Karma can be flown without GPS if there is no signal. If you happen to be in an area without a GPS signal, press the Start/Stop button to launch. You just have to use the touch screen to say that you are experienced and want to fly without GPS. Autonomous features, like Return Home and Auto Shot Paths, won't work though.

@marjansmrtnik8311 6 жыл бұрын

What happens if drone losses signal or get out of batery in the air? Does it comes back to you by it self?

@JordanHetrick 6 жыл бұрын

If the drone loses signal, it uses GPS to return towards the take off spot until it reconnects to the controller's signal again. When the battery gets low, the drone also automatically returns home, but you can cancel the auto return. If you cancel it a couple of times until the battery goes completely dead, it will eventually land straight down.
