  • The GoPro Karmas is quite possibly the most underutilized drone out there, and I wanted to make a video revisiting it in 2020 and show-off the video features the GoPro 7 can offer with this massive unmanned aircraft.

    I've had my Karma for almost a year now and absolutely LOVE it. The only complaint I have is that the range is not quite as good as the modern DJIs in urban environments, but I do not feel comfortable flying farther than I can maintain a good line of sight anyway. Even though this is a relatively large drone, it's easy to loose it in the sky if you are not careful. Great video!

    • @TomDeCicco
      @TomDeCicco  5 років тому

      It is a great drone and can capture some incredible imagery. Ive also found myself in the same situation testing & questioning the range.

    My research on this drone continues to show what seems a relatively short distance before video starts cutting out on the controller, I think you were saying just over 400 feet in the video. Would I expect to be able to reach out to longer distances with something like a Mavik Pro or other newer drone? Thanks!

    • @TomDeCicco

      True. My Mavic pro (on paper) can go up to 8 miles on a cell signal, and I personally have never experienced loss of visual with my Mavic Pro.

    • @TomDeCicco
      @TomDeCicco  4 роки тому +1

      Hey Kyle, It's a great drone. And looking at the price point of 350-400ish, you really cant buy anything with that quality in that price range. I recommend it for that reason. It's not a good drone to travel with, as it is so large and heavy.
      If I was you, I would take some time to really compare side by side the Karma, and the Mavic mini. I know people who have similarly dropped large drone setups for the Mavic mini.

    This is a great drone. Keep the line of sight. I dont know why people want to fly it all far away in reality you dont want to do that jot if you are flying responsibly anyway. It is extremely stable in high wind. One of the only drones that comes with a seperate controller. Battery life sucks but you can find used batteries on fbook market place from people who have crashed or no longer fly because of its age. I usually film in 4k 60 and correct the footage in post for that linear look. When this came out it was one of the best cameras on a drone being that it was a go pro. Still hard to find a drone that can do what this one does at its price point. My only regret is that I hought it new when it retailed at $1000 only to have them discontinue the product. It would be great to see them come out with an updated gimble arm so that you can update the camera in the future but that isnt likely. Great drone still in 2020.

    I’m torn between GoPro karma, and the DJI Mavic Mini/spark. I plan on focusing my footage towards car cinematography’s well as occasional ariel views such as this video captures. The karma is $299 with everything except the karma grip and backpack, the dji spark is $300/$350, and the mini $350/$500 depending on the bundle. Any feedback is appreciated, I just truly think dji is worth the money but on the fence due to the karma being cheaper as well as still high quality. Help :(

    Glad to see you still flying your karma. I remember your 2019 video. I am still flying mine. Btw. In terms of getting 4k non distortion (i.e. "linear") footage. Have you considered replacing the stock gopro lens with the Peau Productions non-distortion lenses? They remove the fisheye look. See my video here which I put together of footage shot with the 8.25mm non distortion lens as an example... ua-cam.com/video/zV0saiklCDM/v-deo.html

      @TomDeCicco  4 роки тому

      Just watched. When you're in superviews i can still see some distortion when you fly quicker and closer to the ground.. it pulls the image a lot less than the stock lens would for sure.
      A lot of my issue with GoPro and their 4k is how compressed it is... The one example I saw in your video was wavy lines that appear on the top of a roof. I get it a LOT when i shoot trees w/ lots of detail. Regardless, it seems like a cool little add-on.. i'll deff be looking it up. Thanks for sharing and sticking around. 👊

      @@TomDeCicco Hey man. Yes, I shot some of the footage in superview by mistake, but kept it in the video because I liked the footage, and only discovered the error half through the edit (and I am a lazy sh*t). I should probably re-do the video because its just confusing. When using these lenses one should def only shoot in Wide view as thats when there is no distortion.
      I just checked the video again and I don't know if I am seeing the wavy lines. But I watched the original render and it could be the youtube compression creating artifacts. Having said that, I do agree with you about the data and bit rates in the gopros being so low. I especially feel it when trying to colour grade videos shot in Protune. Its a pity cos these little cameras can get into the most interesting places. I guess one has to accept their limitations for all their other good features.
