GoPro recalls Karma

So after the recall they apparently fixed the "dropping from the sky" issue. My question now is that given the fix, are these drones actually any good?

The fact that you get drone AND a removable handheld gimbal seems like a great deal, so how come the karma gets very little love from the drone community? What else is wrong with it?

I don't know...I just got the Karma, and I kinda like it. I like my Hero 5 Black, too, and the Karma Grip is a great, included, accessory. It definitely takes more attention--doesn't have the auto-avoid sensors--but it's stable, shoots good footage, has a great controller, and the software got smarter to fly some patterns. Oh...I like the Passenger app too.
 
GoPro has just killed the Karma coupled with some pretty large layoffs to boot. They are bleeding money and their stock has gone from $90 down to $6. They would appear to be in some serious trouble and might be looking for a buyer.

Shame about the Karma, the concept was great with the removable gimbal and detachable (upgradeable) cam.

With the likes of the Yi 4k+ and it's lower price point it's no wonder really. Although I see that the Hero6 is now $100 off,which makes the market more level.
