Disaster for the manufacturer GoPro ! On the day of the presidential elections in the USA (but this has nothing to do with the victory of Trump), he published a press release announcing the recall of its drone Karma. This model is foldable, so that we were able to test, is available on the market for about two weeks and the reminder is for 2500 drones.
The reason ? Battery problems. Of course, it does not explode like on a Galaxy Note 7, but it loses suddenly all its power, resulting in the sudden drop of the drone.
This is all the more critical that GoPro has put in his device a battery of 5100 mAh battery to deliver a twenty-minute volume According to the CEO of GoPro, Nicholas Woodman, ” safety is our first priority. A very small number of owners of Karma have reported incidents of power failure during use. We decided quickly to recall all Karma and to refund the buyer while we are investigating the problem.” No exchange, but a simple refund.
This is very bad for the manufacturer, who was going through a bad password and financial account on the Karma, which was announced in September, as well as the Hero camera 5, to get back on their feet. The only good news is that the defective models have not caused any injury, or damages other than those dealt to the drone itself.
