The game-style controller with an integrated touch display makes Karma easy and fun to fly.Fly Responsibly:Before takeoff, update all software and firmware, and read the instructions thoroughly.See the FAA website for registration requirements and information about flying a drone safely: https://www.faa.gov/uas/getting_started/.

I read several reviews on this and other drones prior to purchasing. I was a bit nervous about it, due to some negative press last fall...but have no worries after flying.
I can say this drone is easy to fly right out of the box, and very fun.
It provides a very smooth video. This is due to the included gimbal and the smooth flying and turning of the drone. While I find the speed adequate, it is not too fast or jerky for good video.
The benefit of having a GoPro camera is an added bonus, planning on some adventures with this off the drone.
Positives: Controller includes a screen, very easy controller. Smooth video. Complete kit with case, grab it and go. Detachable GoPro camera. Easy to use. Upload to cloud, then available to all devices. Full store of accessories on GoPro as well as third parties.
Negatives: DOA charger on arrival, but GoPro had real support and handled very quickly. I sometimes have to look at the camera button on controller when starting video, wish it had a bit more pronounced feel.
Overall, I think it deserves credit for five stars. (I have not heard any other issues of Doa charger, and it was serviced quickly)
