GoPro recalls Karma drone

[Napper198]

If unbalanced washing machines, exploding phones and Trump as president of the USA isn't enough for you, lets add drones falling out of the skies to the list.

 

GoPro issued a press release in wich they recall all sold units (2500, since October 23rd) after a small group of owners lost power on their drones mid air.

As of yet it is unclear what cases this issue or how many drones are affected.

 

Customers get a full refund, but no replacement unit until the issue is resolved.

"Safety is our top priority," said GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman. "A very small number of Karma owners have reported incidents of power failure during operation. We have moved quickly to recall all units of Karma and provide a full refund while we investigate the issue. We are working in close coordination with both the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and Federal Aviation Administration. We are very sorry to have inconvenienced our customers and we are taking every step to make the return and refund process as easy as possible."

he's the guy you're going to be spend the next few years hating and making fun of. I also predict he's going to be the cause of a rise in ginger hair bullying. We should prob not let this thread get hijacked off topic

A joke of a politician that just became the president of the united states. 

 

 

I hate both candidates equally.
