*or was, I don't keep that close of an eye on them.
When I first saw the karma I was intrigued especially because of the removable gimbal but then DJI announced the Mavic Pro and it is just generations ahead of the Karma even thought the gimbal is fixed.
Karma doesn't have any of the flight intelligence that the Mavic has which is very disappointing.
A Karma will cost you, if you already own a suitable GoPro, $800. If you don’t already have a GoPro that fits the Karma, you can get the Karma bundled with either a Hero5 Session for $1,000 or a Hero5 Black for $1,100.
That includes the drone, the stabilisation gimbal rig, the remote, and the padded backpack.
In comparison a DJI Mavic Pro is $999.
They were beaten by DJI that launched a week after them, and people are more interested in the Mavic, that combined with them not having shipped a whole lot of them (they are even canceling orders now because of this issue) is why you see such low sale figures.
How many 'prosumer' drones sold, do you know?
GoPro. A private company with a cool brand and strong following which sells versatile cameras, is testing out a drone and makes millions along the way.
Of course, not every IPO leads to warmth and smiles but for this company in particular it has seemed like such a burden.
