The Karma can attach to any of GoPro's Hero5 cameras and comes available as a kit with the Hero 5 Black for $1099. With this combination, the result is very high quality video up to 4k and 30fps. The real advantage however is for those who already own GoPro cameras and can purchase the drone alone for only $799. At this price, having the quality of the Hero5 on a fairly portable drone is a no brainer. It's closest competitor, the DJI Mavic Pro costs $999 and doesn't have the option of using your own camera.

WASHINGTON – The White House said Tuesday that no American citizen "will ever be targeted" in raids against terror suspects, a blanket statement that appeared to signal a break from the Obama administration's strategy for pursuing and targeting suspects in counterterrorism operations overseas. Under former President Barack Obama, the Justice Department had issued a legal opinion giving the U.S. the authority to target Americans who are working with terrorists abroad. White House spokesman Sean Spicer told reporters the Trump administration will lean on the guidance of Central Intelligence Agency director Mike Pompeo and Defense Secretary Jim Mattis, but he added that "no American citizen will ever be targeted." It was not immediately clear whether Spicer's intended to recalibrate U.S. policy. The U.S. specifically targeted and killed American Anwar al-Awlaki, a radical cleric, in Yemen in 2011.

Lily Robotics, which promised a autonomous flying camera, is shutting down operations. Lily Robotics, a failed drone startup that closed last month amid a consumer-protection civil suit from the San Francisco District Attorney's office, may now be the subject of a criminal investigation. Earlier this month, law enforcement agents raided the company's San Francisco headquarters for a potential criminal investigation against the company, according to one source who asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak openly about the matter. When contacted by FORBES about the visit from law enforcement individuals, Henry Bradlow, Lily Robotic's cofounder and chief technology officer, said he could not comment "on rumors or speculation" and hung up the phone. A spokesperson for the San Francisco District Attorney's office said that he could not confirm or deny if a raid had occurred.

An Align M690L drone flies Aug. 23, 2016, along the northbound side of the Gold Star Bridge to photograph and record video for bridge inspection in Connecticut. President Trump's order to reduce regulations on small businesses has sparked concerns in the drone industry that seeks more federal rules in order to take flight. The order Monday put a limit on each agency's regulatory ability through the annual budget, and required that the cost of any new regulations be balanced through the repeal of at least two old regulations. But flights of commercial drones have been restricted in airspace shared with passenger planes until the Federal Aviation Administration develops regulations to govern remote-controlled aircraft. The FAA's first comprehensive drone regulations took effect in August, allowing flights of drones weighing up to 55 pounds without the case-by-case review that was required previously.

Last year, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) released its requirements for flying drones that weigh under 55 pounds. The rules state that the pilot must keep the drone in sight at all times, not exceed 100 miles per hour, and operate the drone only during daylight hours. Pilots must also report accidents that result in an injury. While the list of rules for operating a drone is long and detailed (read the whole thing here), the requirements for becoming a drone pilot are relatively simple. You need to be at least 16 years old.

SANAA – Yemeni security and tribal officials say a suspected U.S. drone strike killed two al-Qaida militants on Monday, a day after a U.S. raid killed three senior leaders of the group. They say a missile strike in the central Shabwa province hit a car used by militants coming from Bayda province, where the U.S. raid took place. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to talk to reporters. Around 30 other Yemenis are believed to have died in the U.S. raid, including women and children. A U.S. soldier was killed and three others were wounded in the gunbattle, while another three U.S. soldiers were wounded in the "hard landing" of an MV-22 Osprey aircraft at a staging area in Yemen.

The air rescue of a victim who fell 100 feet down seaside cliffs in Pacifica was abandoned Friday night after authorities say a local man flew his drone into the area to watch what was happening, forcing a helicopter crew to withdraw. The rescue played out about 10:15 p.m. on the rocky shoreline below 320 Esplanade Ave., Pacifica police said. First responders determined the person could not make it up the cliff by foot and called in the California Highway Patrol to help, authorities said. The CHP helicopter crew lowered a medic to the victim and prepared him to be hoisted up when other rescuers spotted the drone. "Once the helicopter crew found out there was a drone on scene, they had to suspend the rescue operation and gain altitude to avoid a collision," police said in a statement.

The Arizona Geological Survey is monitoring a 2-mile long crack that has opened up in the Arizona desert. Recent drone flights over the crack reveal that it has continued to grow both in length and width in Pinal County, to the southeast of Phoenix. Scientists are actively monitoring the crack and took drone video of the extent of the fissure as normal documentation of an area prone to large cracks in the Earth. The northern portion of the crack is older and partially filled in by eroding sediment and from collapse of the crack's edges. Meanwhile, the southern portion remains 25 to 30 feet deep and 10 feet across.

WASHINGTON – It's been described as the greatest burden any commander in chief must bear. Just days into his young presidency, a U.S. service member has died in military action authorized by Donald Trump. It's the first known combat death of a member of the U.S. military since Trump took the oath of office on Jan. 20 and underscores the gravity of the decisions he now makes. Three service members were also wounded Sunday during the firefight with militants from al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula's branch in Yemen. The raid left nearly 30 others dead, including an estimated 14 militants.
