2016-09-19
watch this one of our big things was to try and get that profile to be as small as possible so we move the stabilizer in front we wanted to achieve portability in the product moving the stabilizer up front was also important because typically when you fly another drone your propellers will be in view and that will almost never happen with karma the fact that you can fold in the landing gear you can fold in the arms you can put the controller in the case the aircraft with the stabilizer it's the Karma grip all in that case ready to go is amazing the Karma grip has a really cool ability to be an extension of your camera so on the grip itself you get to control the camera shutter buttons you get to change camera modes you change the stabilizers angle and you get to power on the camera and off and then furthermore you can take the Karma grip and mount it into the full GoPro ecosystem of mountains when you're out there holding the controller it feels amazing it's optimized for outdoor conditions it's super bright and it utilizes all the same familiar gestures that you would have on a smartphone so it's really familiar when user picks it up there's one button takeoff and landing there's return-to-home that are automatic for you press the button all with the goal of creating this very safe and responsible method of flying we've got a flight simulator at the end of this setup process that explains to the user very simply all the things that they need to know to fly the Karma system has a feature called Auto Shop hounds and that really creates this powerful combination of the flying robot doing some of the work and you creating the start of the scene and the capture the Karma controller has this great feature called passenger app allowing you to share your experience with a friend it allows them to see that live video it allows to control the camera through their iPhone through their tablet it allows them to capture the shot without actually having to worry about flying I think everyone wants to be able to fly and being able to control something or see something that's flying it there's a lot of power behind that we need to make karma not only a flying solution but also a handheld solution a mountable solution basically karma needs to be used in all the ways that our customers use GoPro in that way karma has become in some sense the ultimate GoPro this is exactly what I want from a drone but the whole thing unfolds and now you have this aerial capture device it's something that really blows your mind it's magical when you review the footage that you've captured on Karma you just see things that you've never seen before the quality of content that our customers will capture with karma I think is going to change everything again now you know now you finally know what we mean when we say karma is so much more than a drone it's Hollywood caliber stabilization in a backpack that you can wear during almost any activity
