Review: GoPro Karma drone soars with great video

Jefferson Graham reviews GoPro's new Karma drone, an affordable flying camera with stellar video quality. LOS ANGELES -- Welcome to the Drone Wars, where longtime action camera manufacturer GoPro has joined No. 1 drone manufacturer DJI with its own take on a flying camera. The bad: Karma is actually heavier than we are led to believe from marketing videos, (2.2 pounds vs. 1.6 for the new $750 DJI Mavic) and some of the cool operational drone features from the Mavic just aren't there in the Karma. That said, DJI knows drones, and GoPro knows photography. The Karma trumps the Mavic with a superior camera, but Mavic is the better drone.
