SQUAW VALLEY, CA -- After over a year of teases, GoPro has finally unveiled its Karma drone, which works with its new Hero 5 Black and Hero 5 Session action cameras. It's quite a beauty.
The compact drone solves one key problem other drones like DJI's excellent Phantom 4 have: portability. Unlike its competition, the Karma is small enough to fit into most normal-sized backpacks (although it does come with its own bag).

Users can connect any of GoPro's Hero action cameras, including the newly-announced Hero 5 Black and Hero 5 Session as well as the Hero 4 cameras, too.

The drone has a 3-axis camera stabilizer that keeps Hero action firmly attached and ensures footage is properly stabilized and smooth. Moreover, the stabilizer is removable and can be attached to another accessory called the Karma Grip for handheld or vehicle-mounted recording.
