GoPro is forced to withdraw its Karma drone

A few days ago, the manufacturer of extreme sports cameras, GoPro, announced its latest financial results, results that were much worse than analysts had predicted, causing a significant drop in the company's stock price. Months before, GoPro introduced the Karma drone, a drone with which the firm wanted to compete directly with the current market leader DJI. But it seems that the company is being forced to withdraw the device from the stores where it is currently available for sale, due to a serious operating problem.

Apparently and as reported by many users, the drone loses energy when flying, which for now has forced the company to request the return of at least 2.500 units, which was available for sale since last October 23. Fortunately from the date this device was found on the market, the operating problems have not affected any user.

The company will return the money to all users who bought the device at the time, either through the store where they purchased it or if it is not possible through the GoPro website, where we can find an exclusive section for this topic. At the moment the company states that it is working on this issue, which according to all indications seems to indicate that the problem is related to batteries, like the Note 7, although this time no Karma drone has been reported to have exploded.

The Karma drone, it reaches a speed of 56 km / hour and can reach 4.500 meters in height. It has an autonomy of 20 minutes, thanks to the 5.100 mAh battery. It has a dimensions of 303 x 411 x 117 mm and a weight of 1,06 kg and of course it is compatible with the new GoPro Hero 5 cameras.

    This news has been known for a couple of weeks, it is assumed when something is recent. You are a copy and paste type. Good Morning.

      Yes man, yes, it has been known before the drone was launched and everything. It has been known for a few days, not two weeks, to see if we read well.
      Tell me from which article I have copied the information.
      Keep it up, that you show yourself in each article you criticize, I don't know if you've noticed it, but it seems like you haven't. A shame that you keep reading us just to criticize.
