No one here is saying Karma is better than Solo. Seriously, you need to either marry your solo or seek therapy. You are way too attached. We are here as a group of pilots discussing things happening in the market. Who here said "Karma is better" or is trolling. You sir have to have a glass of whisky and switch from breifs to boxers.Hanging out here and trying to convince people mine is better than yours is a bit pathological
I agree. So far, the gimbal looks rocks solid
only time will tell. The karma is lighter than solo and the battery are about the same ( what is it 5200 for solo and 5100 for karma at 14.8V) so thinking the karma will have more air time than solo. I want to see how third party development or dyi will happen to karma.
I would not put the Karma or even hate to say it the P4 up here with solo based on what they have done the last year it separates itself but its more the future of 3DR that concerns me. That is just me I may be wrong but the karma looks like a great go pro drone for people into action sports never used one obviously because it just came out but if it has follow me or obstacle avoidance its still will not give you the detail that solo gives thats why as a filmmaker I love solo.Pretty simple guys, you have a shiny new toy
the owners of this forum have even set you up a fun new place to go and support one another and be a community
you don't have to be like the DJI trolls and hangout in another user forum and drone on and on about how its better
just go there and hang out with like people and enjoy
I think Gopro nailed their launch, it looks like the even researched and designed a product for their customers. Kudos
Its not a solo, and I prefer my two year old gopro platform. It works for me.
Still I have no problem if people want to dump their solo and head on over.
Just for crying out loud do that.

The Karma can do smart shots but your still limited to what your using its also half the weight. I have flown Solo at very windy beach days and no problem where as this looks like there could be some problems i think its more or less what your trying to do to.I would not put the Karma or even hate to say it the P4 up here with solo based on what they have done the last year it separates itself but its more the future of 3DR that concerns me.

Do you believe the Karma has the required processor needed for the MPCC type shots? I haven't seen anything yet other than using a PX4.I think at first glance GoPro have done a nice job with the Karma, we just need to see some real experienced user reviews. The main issue is the NFZs and the fact for now at least even GoPro can't override them so even professional pilots are grounded close to an NFZ.
I think the software on Karma will improve and end up offering most of what Solo does with the exception of mapping.
oh wow didn't expect the karma to be that much weight. Hopefully it is 20min for flight time because everyone whos going to buy it is going to fly with a gopro. Woulnd be right for them to advertise 20min flight without a gopro as this product is made for a gopro cameraWell I'm not so sure about that. According to the weight specs, Karma is a tad heavier than Solo by 69 grams or 2.43 ounces (US) when using the Hero4 Black. Regarding actual flight time for Karma ...time will tell.
GoPro Karma 1.869kg
Karma Drone ... 1.006kg, Karma Battery ... 0.545kg, Karma Stabiliser (gimbal only) ... 0.230kg, Hero4 Black ... 0.088kg
3DR Solo 1.800kg
3DR Solo ... 1 000kg, Solo Battery ... 0.500kg, Solo Gimbal ... 0.212kg, Hero4 Black ... 0.088kg

It already has cablecam, adding extra points doesn't require more CPU.Do you believe the Karma has the required processor needed for the MPCC type shots? I haven't seen anything yet other than using a PX4.
It's on their Karma support forum if you're on Facebook the same admin crew from the Solo page have started a Karma page too, given it seemed logical as we all have GoPros so we're making an effort to post as much detailed information as we can find.I haven't seen anything published about no fly zones on the Karma. I also haven't gone looking. What's the scoop on that?
The individual waypoints don't take any cpu but calculating the smooth curves in between them like MPCC does.It already has cablecam, adding extra points doesn't require more CPU.
does that mean like some Phantom once you're in a NFZ the Karma can't take off? No overrides even in manual mode?I think at first glance GoPro have done a nice job with the Karma, we just need to see some real experienced user reviews.

Correct no take off and no override (except putting foil over your GPS I'd guess).does that mean like some Phantom once you're in a NFZ the Karma can't take off? No overrides even in manual mode?
