GoPro Announce New GoPro Hero5 Black, Hero5 Session and Karma Drone
After months of rumors, anticipation and some delays, GoPro finally announced their first foray into the world of consumer drones by announcing the company's first drone - GoPro Karma. In addition, the most popular camera maker in the world unveiled a brand new flagship camera - the GoPro Hero5 Black and an even more compact Hero5 Session.
The GoPro Karma is much more than a conventional consumer drone thought. The GoPro drone can easily fit its provided backpack and also features some unique features. The stabiliser and camera are moved to the front instead of underneath the carriage, and the detachable gimbal stabiliser is compatible with the Karma Grip, allowing users to use the stabiliser on the ground in a handheld configuration.
The GoPro Karma is compatible with the latest GoPro Hero5 Black, Hero5 Session and previous generation Hero4 Black camera. The Karma promises around a 20 minute flight time on a single battery charge and an easy and intuitive game-style controller that even those new to flying drones can get to grips with easily. The Karma drone is set to be available on October 23rd at a price of £719.
GoPro's new flagship camera is the Hero5 Black, which features a redesigned body, which is now waterproof up to 30 feet (10 meters) without the need for an external housing. The camera has a built-in touchscreen and a re-designed and more intuitive user interface. 4K/30p recording is present as well as Full HD at 120fps. The camera is also equipped with a built-in image stabilisation, which will help you get more stable footage.
The GoPro Hero5 Black is priced at £349.99 and expected to be available October 2nd.
