GoPro launch HERO5 and Karma drone

GoPro have just unveiled a host of new products and services that make capturing, editing and sharing engaging content far easier than before.

“With these new products, we’re delivering on our promise to make it easy to capture and share engaging stories,” said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO. “HERO5’s ability to auto-upload photos and videos to a GoPro Plus account dramatically simplifies mobile, on-the-go editing, sharing and enjoyment. This is a game-changing experience that we will continue to build upon.”

Woodman adds, “We’re stoked to launch Karma and show how much more it is than a drone. Karma packs Hollywood-caliber aerial, handheld and gear-mounted image stabilisation into a backpack for AUD $1,195.95. It’s so easy to use, a beginner can have fun straight away.”
