GoPro Unveils the Name of Upcoming Drone Line

Rumored for much of the past year, GoPro finally lends some more credibility to the development of its drone product line with the announcement of its name: Karma. This was accompanied by a first look at the video capturing and stabilization capabilities of the drone, accompanied by an offer on the product website of the chance to win one of 100 free drones upon launch by entering one’s email address. Expected to launch in the first half of 2016, GoPro will miss the crucial holiday season in which as many as 1 million drones are expected to be sold.

In other news, GoPro also updated its iOS and Android apps as well as finally releasing an Apple Watch app, which allows the user to start or stop recording with a single tap on the wrist via Wi-Fi. The updated smartphone apps also allow in-phone editing of footage from the GoPro camera and direct sharing to social media, without the laborious process of transferring to a computer to edit. Download the app now on iOS or Android.
