GoPro recently announced the release of the Karma Grip for individual sale: its handheld and wearable video stabilization grip. The grip, which originally came as an accessory to the Karma Drone, will be available for a purchase of $299.99. This comes after the complete recall of the Karma Drone a few weeks ago, a setback for GoPro during a crucial time to secure their position in the drone market.

The Karma Grip is compatible with the HERO5 Black and both the HERO4 Black and Silver cameras, with support for the HERO5 Session coming in the second fiscal quarter of 2017. Notable features include on-the-fly angle adjustment and a pitch lock-and-release among many others.

GoPro Releases Karma Grip for Buttery-Smooth Video Capture

GoPro’s new Karma Grip helps you capture stabilized footage so smooth your ordinary shots will look extraordinary, whether you’re cutting first tracks on the mountain, biking across challenging terrain or chasing your kids around the playground. You can use Karma Grip as a handheld device to capture shake-free “follow cam” footage or mount the stabilizer to a Chesty or the Seeker backpack for hands-free, POV video.

Compatible with the HERO5 Black and HERO4 Black and Silver, Karma Grip offers seamless camera connectivity and control. Users can power on and off the camera, start and stop recording and HiLight tag key moments with the push of a button. Additionally, the stabilizer has a Tilt Lock feature that will hold the camera at a desired angle until released, making it effortless to smoothly track an object above or below the horizon.

So whether your next adventure includes hiking or biking, skiing or snowboarding, or any other activity that has you on the move, Karma Grip will keep your shot steady and your mind blown.
