GoPro Karma: The test
#1
Wink 
Now is the time goPro Karma! Remember this drone launched mid 2016 and reiterated as quickly from the manufacturer?
The goPro Karma we'll introduce you was provided by Studiosport.

Presentation
Accessories :
We received the version with the GoPro Hero 5. The brand fits in a carrying case.
The suitcase has proven ergonomic and easy to wear.

There is a clip on a strap to attach your grip as you walk.
Inside, you'll find everything you need to get started in A capture session. I say A as there is only room for a battery. A 12 minute flight, it's stingy!

drone:
The apparatus is a machine folding arm. This of course reduces its bulk.

For dimensions and characteristics:
  • arms folded: 36.5 x 22.4 x 8.9 cm

  • Unfolded: 30,3 x 41,1 x 11,7cm

  • Weight 1,006kg (without camera)

  • Flight time 20 minutes announced by the manufacturer

  • propellers 25.4 cm (10 inches)

  • Maximum speed 15 m / s

  • Max. on different axes 10m / s

  • Altitude max. flight 4500 m

  • Scope 1000 m

remote control:
The remote control is for us the gem of this unit. Simple and effective, it is somewhat reminiscent of the portable Nintendo video games 80s.

The screen has good resolution and the report brightness / contrast makes it even be able to fly with a lot of light.

Flights modes
DRONIE- Improves the quality of selfies away gradually
With Dronie, the drone is heading the controller and gains height while away from your position at a constant speed. During this movement, you can rotate the camera tilt wheel on the controller to adjust the angle of inclination.

The drone flies to the selected distance and then returns to the starting point. You can always cancel or stop the movement if necessary.

Camera cable- Sets two points and flies straight between them
With camera on cable, Karma Drone flies automatically between two points. During the configuration of this decision, fly to the first point, mark it, and then fly to the second point and mark it.

You can adjust the speed and the vertical position of the drone during this maneuver. This self trajectory is continuous and only ends when you cancel or you press the Landing button.

PANORAMA- Fly straight ahead, while tilting the camera toward the horizon
With Panorama, the drone is flying from one point to another. You configure the camera tilt to the starting and ending points, so the camera gradually reveals a landscape as and displacement measurement.

Joysticks are disabled in the course of this path to ensure a stable flight path.

ORBIT- Fly by performing a perfect circle, while keeping the subject in center of frame
With Orbit, the UAV flies in a circular fashion around a certain place. To determine the focus, stolen the drone directly above the point of interest and mark it on the touch screen. Then, move away at least 5 m from the center point and set the radius.

Once this self path begins, you can rotate the drone to 90 ° in either direction, set the altitude, and increase or decrease the radius of the circle. You can also adjust the overall speed of the drone and its management.

Conclusion
The GoPro Karma is certainly not the latest! Just look at the competition, which is available with all the technology to date and equivalent price!
Moreover weight 2kg will be penalized for a private type of use on Belgian territory.
Technically the product is simple and the fate of GoPro just bluffing pictures. The coming of the grip is a very good thing and avoids having to buy one more.
The remote is very well thought and a lot of manufacturers would do well to take a leaf. The image that I have seen in a beautiful sunny day just seemed to me far superior to that of my iPhone 6 on the Mavic for example.
Looks like the Karma has missed a war and in fact, it happens far too late.
If I had a wish, it would be that DJI GoPro and come together to make a drone under 1kg!
