GoPro has been slowly announcing the release of its first drone, the GoPro Karma drone. The company released a teaser video commercial this week and announced that they’ll be giving away 100 Karmas once it officially hits the market.
GoPro Karma Drone Takes the Best Footage Out of Any Quadcopter
Last October, GoPro released footage from the Karma drone, which showed gorgeous images. The latest teaser features the same footage; but this time backed by dramatic music and a voiceover narration. There haven’t been any specs released for it; in fact, there aren’t even any images of the quadcopter out yet.
The GoPro Drone Karma is set to launch at some point in 2016. But there is no official date yet. Winners of the company’s 100 drone giveaway will be chosen by April 15, 2016, and the drones are set to roll out before December 31, 2016. As such, it’s likely that the gadget’s release date is within that window though analysts predict that a first-quarter launch is more likely.
Karma Drone is A Serious Threat
GoPro equipment has always been the reliable brand, especially when it comes to sports or heavy activity footage. The Karma drone will be a very competitive device once it launches, and it is not very likely that there will be a drone that can compete with it. That is unless people attach phones with heavy megapixel capacity onto their drones.
The GoPro Karma Drone is a great competitor for the drone market, and the gadget will likely be one of the trendiest of next year. GoPro will surely have many more announcements to make throughout the year, as it tackles the photography market in a bigger way than it ever has before. Limitations of drones have yet to be set out, so this is likely the best time for people to invest in drones and manufacture them.
