GoPro's Karma drone is back on sale after design flaw made them fall out of the sky
The action camera company launched Karma, its first consumer drone, to great fanfare in late October. But shortly after, GoPro voluntarily recalled all 2,500 shipped drones after some owners reported their quadcopters were inexplicably losing power and falling out of the sky. At CES 2017, GoPro revealed a bad latch mechanism that was used to secure the drone's battery in place was to blame. On Monday, GoPro announced the return of Karma with a redesigned battery latch that fixes the issue. Karma's is available once again at GoPro.com and select U.S. retailers; international markets will have to wait until the spring.
