    Just back in after first flight with the Karma. I have had it a few weeks after getting it for an offer I could not refuse but with work shifts did not have time to use it. I took it out today with my DJI Spark. Did a flight with Sparky which was as always then fired up the Karma. Awesome flight, it was off like a rocket and flew so smooth. I was gonna sell it and get a Mavic but after that few minutes flight I think I will keep it.

    captured, thru the "Quik" software, you can add Gauges to the screen and it shows "FT" and "Elevation Gain". Is the "FT" based on the altitude from sea level and the elevation gain is the altitude from where the drone took off".

    Please answer thx

    • @JordanHetrick
      @JordanHetrick  6 років тому +1

      The gimbal allows you to tilt the camera up and down. To pan left or right, you rotate the drone.
      There is a home button on the controller that automatically brings Karma back to you or the launch spot.
      And, yes, the camera can be used in the gimbal on the Karma Grip (which comes with the drone) for handheld shots when you don't want to fly your drone..
      Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

    You didn't mention anything about calibrating? I have calibrated the drone at home, took it to the park then it has asked to calibrate again. We did it again and still didn't work. Took it home started it outside the house and it worked. Dowloaded the map, took it to the same park still didn't work. Keeps on asking to move to another area or calibrate. HELP so frustrating.

    • @JordanHetrick
      @JordanHetrick  7 років тому +2

      Calibrating is pretty simple and the Karma Controller lets you know when the drone needs calibration. If you are experiencing magnetic interference, it's often caused by a metal object too close to your drone. Are you trying to launch from a concrete area at the park? Sometimes they put rebar in the concrete and it interferes with your drone. Try moving to a grass or dirt area and see if that makes a difference.

    I received one of these as a gift for Christmas. Finally had a nice day to try it out. Had some supervision from a friend that is obsessed with these kind of things. We went around the yard a few times was kind of thinking maybe these things are all they are cracked up to be.
    On the third auto land about 6ft from the spot it just took off and ran into a shed about 100ft away! It's about 26ft tall and it hit right on the peak. Hit the ground in pieces... kinda scary and glad it didn't hit anyone!

      I hear you, but I fly mine often and have never had anything like that happen. They are reliable, but like any drone, it can be dangerous if it comes too close to people or objects. You should have seen the original DJI Phantoms- those were really sketchy! I was happy when Karma came out with the autonomous controls and FPV.

      As for my issue I know they aren't all bad. Things happen all the time like new cars having catastrophic failures,even toasters malfunction.

      You have to register any quadcopter, helicopter or airplane weighing more than 1/2 pound. For recreational purposes your machine has to weigh less than 55 lbs. Also if you plan on doing commercial work you better get liability insurance 'cause if your machine hurts someone you will be in legal trouble.
