Apple Watch Integration: GoPro Latest App Offers Better Functions for Users
If so it would offer some pretty fierce competition to DJI, who have had the enthuisat drone market pretty much to themselves, with the excellent Phantom 3 series. Unfortunately to date GoPro has not been very specific regarding the features and specs of the drone.
GoPro is well known for the brilliant cameras they produce.
Meanwhile, GoPro announced in its website that its new quadcopter drone will have a release date some time in 2016. The company will also be giving away some of these Karma drones for 100 lucky individuals. Judging by the stability of the video, the company will most likely be offering a well thought-out gimbal to keep the camera as steady as possible. That said, the timing of this video release seems to suggest that GoPro is planning a big reveal sometime in early 2016 – perhaps at the Consumer Electronics Show in January. Piper Jaffray cut their target price on shares of GoPro from $20.00 to $15.00 and set an “underweight” rating for the company in a report on Wednesday, November 18th.
In addition, the GoPro apps for both iOS and Android devices have been updated to pull high-quality still images from videos to share easily on Instagram, Facebook, and other social media platforms. You can connect your camera to your smartphone via Wi-Fi, in order to use it as a remote. Its designers said that the drone will be capable of recording movies at 2.5K quality.
GoPro demonstrated the Apple Watch app in September.
GoPro users can now use an Apple Watch to remotely control the camera using an app. It could also be used to control the upcoming Karma drone from the camera maker. However, a WiFi connection is necessary.

Before getting into more details, we should say a few words about GoPro’s take on the flying drone market. It can be done by flipping through the video frame-by-frame, and downloading the high resolution still frame as an image. Unfortunately, all of these are only coming to iOS users today.
