Description

This bundle from GoPro combines the Karma Quadcopter with the HERO6 Black action camera. The Karma has been designed from the ground up for use with the HERO line, featuring complete control integration with the HERO6 Black. A detachable gimbal stabilises the camera in the air and can be used on the ground when combined with the included Karma Grip.

Convert your GoPro HERO5 Black (available separately) into a fully integrated aerial imaging tool with the Karma Quadcopter with Harness for HERO5 Black . This compact, folding drone can stay aloft for up to 20 minutes and features a detachable gimbal stabiliser that will help keep your footage silky smooth. Karma includes an intelligent, game-style controller with a flip-up touchscreen for complete control over the HERO5 Black as well as the ability to view a live camera feed. You can also buddy up with a friend: Thanks to the GoPro Passenger App, one person can pilot via the controller while a second uses the app to monitor the camera and change settings as needed.

In addition to the Karma, this ready-to-fly bundle includes a flight battery and charger; the Karma Grip handle, which allows you to use the stabiliser on the ground; and a compact case.

Built on the existing form-factor of the HERO5 Black, the GoPro HERO6 Black action camera provides more processing power than the preceding model, while keeping to a familiar design. The optimised GP1 processor brings higher frame rates in 4K, 2.7K, and 1080p HD resolutions. Where previous models maxed out at 30 fps in 4K, the HERO6 Black can muster 60 fps for rendering smooth motion or even slow motion in timelines with slower frame rates. Other processor-intensive tasks, such as image stabilisation, have also been improved in the HERO6.

Like the HERO5 Black before it, the HERO6 Black's rugged, rubberised, adventure-ready exterior is resistant to the elements and waterproof to 33' without a housing. Those with a penchant for diving can go deeper still with the separately available Super Suit housing. What would a GoPro be without mounting options? For starters, the Frame, which features the GoPro standard 2-prong accessory interface, is included along with a mounting buckle quick-release for The Frame and two adhesive mounts (one curved and one straight). Other accessories such as handlebar mounts, selfie sticks, and suction cups, for creative placement of the HERO6 Black are available separately.

The rear side of the camera is dominated by a 2" touchscreen LCD for quickly navigating menus. Once your settings are locked in, the classic one-button interface can take over for quickly starting and stopping recording and changing settings on-the-fly. If your hands are occupied, simple voice commands can start and stop recording, take a photo, or burst of photos, and more.

Gimbal Stabiliser for GoPro HERO5 Black
The Karma stabiliser is a motorised gimbal that compensates for vibration and other unwanted sources of movement to give your footage a polished, professional look. This version of the gimbal features a harness (camera mount) specifically for the separately available GoPro HERO5 Black

Detachable for Handheld Use
The stabiliser detaches and can be coupled to the included Karma Grip for use a bit closer to the ground. The Grip supplies power to the stabiliser and features video record/photo controls accessible by thumb

Wearable / Mountable
The Grip is also compatible with many types of separately available GoPro mounts and can also be used with the built-in shoulder mount on the Karma Case

Video Game-Style Controls
The Karma Controller features video gamepad-style controls for intuitive operation.

Flip-Up Touchscreen
A touchscreen enables you to view a live feed from the GoPro HERO5 Black as well as change camera settings while the bird is in the air

Total Camera Control
Designed from the ground up to give you full control of your GoPro in flight, Karma lets you remotely control all camera modes and capture settings, add HiLight Tags, and more using its built-in touch display

Preflight Training
The built-in tutorial and flight simulator make it easy and fun to learn how to fly anywhere, anytime, even before your first flight

Automatic Takeoff and Landing
Using a single button on the controller, you can launch the Karma as well as bring it back to Earth

Built-In No-Fly Zones
Built-in No-Fly Zones help prevent the drone from accidentally flying into restricted areas

Automatic Return Home
Karma safely flies back to you when out of range, if there's a lost connection, or when the battery runs low

GoPro Passenger App
In addition to the pilot, a friend can get in on the action using a separately available mobile device and the GoPro Passenger App. Through the app you can view a live feed as well as operate the camera. This means the pilot can concentrate on flying the aircraft

Built-In Auto Shot Path
Pro-quality shots are easy to capture using Auto Shot Paths flight modes:

Dronies
This is a selfie mode that keeps the GoPro HERO5 Black locked on you

Cable Cam
Create aerial tracking shots in which the Karma flies a long a fixed path

Orbit
In this mode, the Karma will fly along circular path keeping the camera locked on to a fixed subject

Reveal
Stay close up on the subject, then pull away for a dramatic reveal

Video Recording Modes
Select the desired resolution to fit your project. Record in UHD 4K resolution up to 60 fps or switch to lower resolutions such as 1080p and 720p for access to higher frame rates, more FOV (Field of View) options, and electronic stabilisation. In 2.7K widescreen and lower resolutions, for instance, narrower FOV options open up, including Medium, Narrow, and the new Linear mode (only available in 2.7K and 1080p settings), which corrects the lens's barrel distortion.

All video recording modes can be as simple or advanced as you want them to be. If you only want to ensure that a shot is captured, auto-exposure is at your disposal. For those who are shooting less off-the-cuff footage and want complete control, manual control of exposure is also available.

Audio for video is recorded using three microphones. In normal conditions, the HERO6 Black will process the audio for a stereo signal. If high winds start affecting the audio, the HERO6 Black can intuit which microphone is picking up the best sound and automatically switch to that microphone in real-time to filter out any excess wind noise. While the audio will only be in mono, you will know that you're getting the highest possible audio quality

Photo Modes

  • Raw File Option: In addition to standard JPEG capture, the HERO6 Black can also capture raw images in the .GPR format. Raw images offer enthusiasts or professional photographers more flexibility after the photo is taken. Raw images can be processed after-the-fact for higher quality output.

  • WDR Mode: Bridging the gap between JPEG capture and raw, the WDR (Wide Dynamic Range) mode is also available. If the scene has dark shadows and bright highlights, WDR mode will retain better detail in those areas.

  • Burst Mode: Bursts of photos can be taken during high-action sequences to ensure that you capture the moment. The camera's buffer can fit up to 30 photos from a single burst, and burst durations can be set from six seconds to one second, effectively offering a 30 fps burst of 12MP photos.

  • Time-Lapse Mode: Record clouds floating by, traffic snaking through cityscapes, or stars and constellations tracing their way across the sky with the time-lapse mode. Set your interval from a picture every 1/2 second to every minute for different effects.

GoPro Apps
GoPro and Quik apps allow you to access and edit your GoPro footage with simple to use yet powerful functions. Quik Stories combines the functionality of both apps, automatically downloading GoPro footage from your HERO6 and composing an easily shareable montage of your adventures on-the-spot. The HERO6 Black is the first HERO with 5 GHz Wi-Fi connectivity, for faster video transfer times compared to 2.4 GHz available on previous models.
