GoPro Karma has one button to fly, land, and return to home. The drone also has four programmed shots: dronie, cam cable, reveal, and orbit. GoPro also offers a "passenger app" that allows other people (besides Karma operators) to view videos directly from a drone camera, and even control the camera's position.

Stabilizers that can be used for other needs

Karma from GoPro has a 3-axis camera stabilizer that is placed in front of the drone. Indirectly, the camera that will be attached to the Karma drone is also located in front of the drone. Reporting from The Verge, the GoPro said that this position will help eliminate the presence of the rotor, which can cut in your shooting if the drone advances in full reverse motion.

Interestingly, the Karma stabilizer can be removed and paired with the Karma Grip. GoPro also said that the grip can be used handheld. So, place the camera on the stand, then record with the comfort of the grip! Suitable for recording any activity, running, riding something, skating, and so on!

Then, what camera can you attach to this stabilizer and Karma Grip? Of course, the GoPro Hero5 and Hero5 Session cameras, which were released simultaneously with Karma. GoPro also said that Karma can work with Hero4. So the Her04 owner can also have a Karma drone without having to buy the latest GoPro camera.
