Used GoPro Karma Drone with HERO6 Black undefined

This is the Best Quadcopter i have so far,
Easy to use and runs smooth as water,
Thanks Go Pro

Perfect. The Best in the amrket

Purchased this because the price was less than the sum of the cost of the parts as spares. Since GoPro is out of the drone business, I wanted to get what I could in the way of spares while still available.

Great for spare parts

I'll start by saying that for the month this drone worked, I had a blast.  The footage was REALLY good that came out of it when using a Hero 6 camera.  

Then... I crashed it.  GoPro support deemed it was my fault but the circumstances were a little suspect- the drone acquired a GPS signal so that I could use auto-take off.  I flew it 40 -60 feet away from me at a height of maybe 10 feet.  It then promptly lost GPS / compass signal and began to drift in reverse at a VERY rapid rate.  I still had a little control of the thing and dodged the first tree but not the second.  The drone itself seemed fine but the stabilizer was destroyed (cool crash footage tho!)

This was on 3/10/2018.  I bought the GoPro Care for the drone, which extended the warranty to two years and also had coverage for two accidental damage claims (of which I was about to claim one).  I paid the deductible for the replacement and sent in my drone and gimbal for replacement.  

I was told on 3/25/2018 that my replacement had shipped but upon receipt of the delivery two days later, I only received a bag of 4 propellors.  I called GoPro support and no one could tell me why this happened but that same day, they shipped out all the replacement parts I would need to get back up and flying.  

Received the full replacement drone two days later, took the drone up in the air and BOOM, the compass loses connection and all of a sudden my replacement drone is drifting across a 4 lane road and struggling to allow me to control it.  I race across a park to catch up to it and somehow it re-establishes the GPS signal.  I force it down to me as quickly as possible and engage GoPro support yet again.  Upload flight logs and it takes them nearly a week to tell me the unit is defective.  

Any ways, I'm STILL waiting for a working replacement and it is now well over a month since I initially crashed the drone.  I have been a huge GoPro fan for YEARS, currently owning 3 of their cameras and have owned several others in the past.  As soon as I have a working drone, it's going on the used market as I can't trust this thing at all.  

I know, you're thinking, "Eh, I'll have a different experience and be careful.  Who cares if GoPro is exiting the drone market, they'll surely support the thing for a couple years!"  I'm here to tell you I had those EXACT same thoughts and now just wish GoPro or Adorama would just take the thing back and give me a partial refund.  

Save yourself the trouble and get a Mavic Pro.

An absolute disappointment

Certificado good

Bad drone, not steady fly in the air with a moderate wind

Too much assembly work

This thing is so fun and amazing! It's really easy to use out of the box and takes incredible footage!
