New GoPro Drone to Be Called Karma

GoPro has announced that its new camera-equipped drone will be named Karma and is expected to arrive in the first half of 2016. Earlier in October, the company released a teaser featuring test footage taken from a prototype of the drone.

GoPro’s journey towards making its very first camera drone initially began with a partnership with DJI but when that partnership fell apart, the company decided to tackle the challenge on its own. The result is the Karma drone which is rumored to have a price range of between $500 and $1,000 and is expected to come with a decent camera gimbal system.

In keeping up public interest in the Karma, the company released yet another teaser video this week announcing the drone’s newly revealed name accompanied by test footage from the drone that was released earlier on — footage the company insists has not been stabilized in post production.

Still, we have no idea what the Karma looks like as GoPro has been doing a good job in keeping things tightly under wraps so don’t expect to be teased with even more details or product photos until at least next year.
