GoPro Karma drone to relaunch in 2017

http://ift.tt/2hYfDIC

GoPro's Karma drone will relaunch at some point this year, the action camera company has confirmed at the Consumer Electronics Show currently being held in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The news follows a recall of all units from the market last November following a "small number of instances of power loss due to a mechanical issue related to securing the drone’s battery". GoPro says it is now completing its testing of the device, which was one of the most heavily anticipated gadgets of 2016.

Early February will bring more information on the global relaunch of the GoPro Karma, so for now we'll have to wait and see whether the drone will be relaunched at the same price point (£719 / $799).
