Users of GoPro's failed "Karma" drone are reporting that their drones have been unable to fly since the new year began. According to numerous forum and social media posts from across the globe, the drone is more-or-less bricked due to a lack of GPS signal.
GoPro just announced that it's exiting the drone business and cutting 20% of its workforce, confirming earlier reports of major layoffs in the company's aerial division. The company's stock also plunged after it missed revenue estimates.
GoPro is reportedly laying off roughly 200 to 300 employees, mostly from the aerial division that works on the company's struggling Karma drone.
This is exactly why DJI is forcing users to "activate" their drones, or suffer the consequences. At a recent baseball game between the San Diego Padres and the Arizona Diamondbacks, an illegal drone slammed into the stands, only just missing a few faultless fans.
The GoPro Karma camera drone is flying back onto store shelves today, three months after being recalled due to some of them losing power and falling out of the sky. GoPro believes it figured out the problem and fixed it.
GoPro hasn't had an easy few months; since the release of the Karma system and Hero5 cameras, the company has taken hit after hit in the media and the stock market. But today they announced something a bit more upbeat: they are now officially selling the Karma Grip stabilizer by itself.
Once a tech darling, GoPro has been struggling in 2016. In addition to less-than-stellar sales that have not matched forecasts, a class action lawsuit, and a massive drone recall, the company has now announced "restructuring" that will eliminate 200 full time positions and cut 15% of its workforce.
If you're one of the unlucky people who purchased a GoPro Karma drone only to have to send it right back because it might fall out of the sky, there's a silver lining to your annoying predicament: GoPro is offering you a free Hero5 for your trouble.
GoPro announced a total recall of its new Karma drone yesterday, saying that the drone may lose power mid-flight and fall out of the sky. That's exactly what owner Nicholas Kulick captured a few days ago in the 1-minute video above: his drone lost power and nearly fell on someone's head.
GoPro made the shocking announcement today that it's recalling each of the ~2,500 GoPro Karma camera drones sold so far in the 16 days since it has been available. Why? Because there's a chance the $799 drone can lose power during flight and fall out of the sky.
Ouch. Reviews don't get much worse than starting with "The GoPro Karma is unquestionably, inarguably, unarguably, without a doubt, the worst drone I have ever flown." And it only went downhill from there...

GoPro finally revealed their Karma Drone, but in CEO Nick Woodman's words: It's so much more than a drone. Foldable, easy-to-use, and equipped with a removable stabilizer that you can use hand-held or mounted to something else, this is an incredibly impressive all-around machine.
