GoPro recently unveiled new products and services which will attempt tp simplify the process of editing and sharing. The main objective is to establish GoPro as an end-to-end storytelling solution. GoPro’s founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman, introduced a new line of cameras, cloud-based software, and a drone, Karma, to international press. “We’re stoked to launch Karma and show how much more it is than a drone. Karma packs Hollywood-caliber aerial, handheld and gear-mounted image stabilization into a backpack for $799. It’s so easy to use, a beginner can have fun straight away.”

Karma features a compact, fits-in-a-small-backpack design and includes an image-stabilization grip that can be handheld or mounted to vehicles, gear and more. The drone will attempt to make it easy for anyone to capture smooth, stabilized video during almost any activity.

According to GoPro’s press release, the entire system fits into the included backpack that’s comfortable to wear during any activity, making users forget they’ve got it on. A game-style controller features an integrated touch display, making it fun, fast and easy to fly without the need for a separate phone or tablet to see what your drone sees. The 3-axis camera stabilizer can be removed from the drone and attached to the included Karma Grip for capturing ultra-smooth handheld and gear-mounted footage.
