UPDATE: The free drone offer is no longer available.
GoPro is going through a rough time and they have clipped the wings of its foldable Karma drone. If you’re still interested in this drone, a Malaysian retailer is offering it for free if you purchase a GoPro HERO5 Black with a Karma Grip bundle.
The Karma Grip is a handheld stabiliser which is quite similar to the DJI Osmo Mobile. It’s part of the entire GoPro Karma ecosystem where you can detach the gimbal from the drone and turn it into a handheld stabiliser which can be mounted to your body.
The Karma Grip was sold separately as the Karma drone was recalled at one point due to sudden shutdowns while flying.
Now you can get a GoPro HERO5 Black, a Karma Grip, 32GB microSD card, 2x batteries, a triple charger and a free GoPro Karma drone (with backpack and controller) for only RM3,428. If you’re interested, this combo is offered by cameralah.
As a comparison, the GoPro Karma drone with a HERO5 Black bundle is currently priced at RM3,499 on the GoPro official store in Lazada. When it was launched last year, the GoPro Karma with GoPro HERO5 Black was going for RM5,999.
UPDATE: Cameralah has discontinued the offer. Below is their official statement to customers:
Due to the overwhelming response we are getting from this FREE KARMA DRONE deal, GoPro has requested us to shut it down.
However, we will still committed to our customer. if you are interested in this bundle or any bundle at all, please contact us directly at 1700 815 615 (Malaysia Hotline) or email us at [email protected].
