* Score based on flight time, GoPro compatibility, flight characteristics and functions. Price not a factor.
At the moment there are very few worthwhile drones to pair with your GoPro camera. Instead you get the best value right now by getting a drone with a camera built in. Here is what we think gives you the best value in 2024:

Drones for GoPro Reviews Top 12
1. GoPro Karma Quadcopter
Specs
Camera: Hero 5 included. Works with GoPro Hero 4 and Hero 5 Black and 6.
GoPro-compatible gimbal included
Flight time: approx 20 minutes
Live streaming via game-style control
The GoPro Karma is back, and it offers you complete control of your GoPro camera plus outstanding and super smooth video features, like Orbit, Cable Cam and Dronie.
The Ultimate Drone for GoPro
With the Karma you get a package that includes the drone, the Karma Grip for steady hand footage and a really cool game-style controller.
Like the Mavic, the Karma is foldable making it portable and easy to take on adventures.
What makes the Karma drone unique is its super smooth video, attributed to its “not too high” speed and controlled movements.
It flies for around 20 minutes, which could be better for the price range. Reportedly you should stay well within the controller range of 3km to avoid drops in connection.
Works with GoPro Hero 5 and 6
The Karma works with GoPro Hero 5 and Hero 6. You get total control of the camera with the help of your controller. It also works with Hero 4.
Video Game Style Controller
I love the controller of the Karma. You feel like you are playing a video game, and the image is crisp. The controller is also easy to use, and you get full control of your camera.
Many professional video makers have voiced appreciation for the super smooth features of the Karma.
Although it is priced fairly high, you actually get a lot with your purchase. This is a great choice for both beginners and more experienced drone videographers, and for everyone who wants to get the most out of their GoPro on a drone.
Camera: No camera included. Designed specifically to work with GoPro Hero cameras.
Dimensions: 20 x 10 x 14 inches
Flight time: 25 minutes
Range: 300 m
GoPro-compatible gimbal included
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
Safe and Stable
When you mount expensive camera equipment you want a quadcopter that is safe, easy to fly and easy to control.
This is one of the reasons why we recommend the DJI Phantom 2 for your action camera. It is a stable and safe drone, and it has already been used by many to record videos of outstanding quality.
The Phantom 2 also has a return to home function, so that you can retrieve it and the camera equipment if the controls are switched off or if you lose control. You will get stable flying, an integrated GPS system, and other safety features designed to prevent crashes.
Ready to Fly
It is delivered pre-tuned, so you can start flying quickly. Just attach the propellers, add batteries to the remote, and charge the battery.
Great Gimbal
This DJI Phantom 2 package comes with a Zenmuse H3-3D 3-axis gimbal, which is a new and technologically advanced version, and plenty of support for the gimbal, which provides you with smooth video recording and excellent camera stability.
Long Flight Time
Another reason why we think so highly of the DJI Phantom 2 is because of its long flight time. You can fly the quadcopter for 25 minutes on one charge with the included LiPo battery.
However, the size of the quadcopter makes it best for open, large spaces, so if you need to navigate tighter spaces, this may not be the right option for you.
Regarding FPV
This drone does not come with its own system for FPV included (First Person View).
You can buy the DJI Phantom FPV Kit for GoPro Hero(7″ LCD, 5.8 Ghz, 500ft Range) that enables you to take videos and photos with first person view and a GoPro camera. Using the WiFi of the GoPro as FPV may interfere with the control of the DJI Phantom 2 as they use the same frequency, so getting this kit is recommended if you want FPV.
The Phantom 2 might be more expensive than some of the other options, but it has advanced functions, great flight time and a good safety record. It also has a very good reputation online, and lots of faithful fans. You can shoot amazing video with it, and the gimbal is very stable.
Video
Shot with DJI Phantom 2 and GoPro Hero4
Best GoPro Drone
We think that the DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenmuse H3-3D Gimbal might be the best drone for GoPro because of its superior quality, long flight time, excellent safety features, and included gimbal that is specifically designed for GoPro Hero cameras.
You can now also get the DJI Phantom 2 with Zenmuse Gimbal together with a Gopro Hero 4 camera. This package also includes the Zenmuse H4-3d 3-axis gimbal for smooth images and video.
Update: This package is no longer available
Do You Want it Cheaper?
DJI has recently released the DJI Phantom 4 series, and for that reason you can get the DJI Phantom 2 for cheap. This is the basic version without the gimbal or camera mount, and the price is very reasonable. You can buy the gimbal and mount as extras.
It works very well with a GoPro and the flight time is 28 minutes without camera. You can get truly amazing footage with this drone. Tested with Hero2, Hero3/3+ and Hero4 models.
Update: This package is no longer available
3. Yuneec Typhoon G Quadcopter for GoPro
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
3-axis gimbal included
Dimensions: 20 x 16.5 x 8.3 inches
Flight time: 20 minutes
Range: 400 m
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
Yuneec has been around for a while, and they have a very good reputation for building great drones. Their support is also very good, which is not that common in this industry.
Like the DJI Phantom 2 and the 3DR Solo, this drone is made with GoPro in mind, which makes everything so much easier and better.
I love that there is a live video feed on the controller that works with GoPro.
Made with GoPro in Mind
The Yuneec Typhoon G includes a GoProcompatible gimbal where you can easily mount your camera for smooth footage.
It has a flight time of around 20 minutes on a single battery charge and a 400 meter control range.
Delivered Ready to Fly and has Follow Me Function
The Yuneec Typhoon G is ready to fly right out of the box. Something really cool is that this is a quadcopter for GoPro that can follow you and film. This is something you can use when doing things like surfing or skateboarding, or even while taking a run.
It also has a Steady Grip included, which you can use like a gimbal on the ground to get great, stable footage with your camera when you are not flying.
Video
Shot with Hero 4.
This is an advanced but easy to control quadcopter. With features such as follow me mode and live flight streaming in the controller, this is an excellent GoPro drone.
4. Ionic Stratus Drone
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
Tested with GoPro Hero 2 3 4
Dimensions: 50.5 x 18 x 21 cm
Flight time: about 10 minutes
Range: 150 m
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
This is probably the cheapest GoPro drone in our list, and while it does not have the same flight time or range as the more well known models, it offers very good value and is fun for beginners wanting to play around with a drone and an action camera. There is also a battery available if you want increased flying time.
No Gimbal
There is no gimbal included with this drone, and that means that the video can get a bit shaky at times. The camera is rubber mounted fixed, which removes some of the vibrations from the drone though. The mount is removable if you want to attach a better gimbal.
Here it is in action with a Hero3 Black attached.
It reportedly does not fly or land very well in windy conditions.
It has a flight range of around 150 meters, and can do some fun things like 3D flips. For the price it offers a surprisingly good flying experience, but without a proper gimbal it is targeted at beginners. One of the cheapest drones for GoPro on the market 2020.
5. 3DR Solo Quadcopter
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
Gimbal for GoPro Hero available for purchase.
Dimensions:9.23 x 16.52 x 16.42 inches
Flight time: 20-25 minutes
GoPro-compatible camera mount
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
The Solo from 3DR is a new release, and it is marketed as the worlds first smart drone. It is powered by twin 1 GHz computers and has some really cool functions for shooting aerial videos. Solo is an exiting new drone, and a real challenger to the DJI Phantom 2 and 3. Unlike most of the other drones on this list it is designed totally with GoPro in mind, and you can control the camera with the gimbal (sold separately).
It is compatible with HERO3, 3+ and 4.
It also offers streaming in HD via WiFi from your GoPro to iOS/Android devices, so you get FPV, First Person View.
Functions
Solo has some really cool functions, such as orbit, where you can lock your camera on an object and get wraparound shots moving in a circular track while keeping the camera locked on the target, and cable cam, where you can lock the drone on a virtual cable leaving you to control the camera. Movie tricks that you usually only see on Hollywood movies, you can now easily do yourself with your drone.
Gimbal
The Solo Gimbal (sold separately) gives you steady and smooth video, and control of your GoPro camera.
What Sets it Apart?
First off, it is designed entirely with GoPro cameras in mind. This give you control of your camera via the gimbal, and you can also use FPV without having to purchase extra equipment.
Solo offers some really cool functions for shooting aerial videos, and this drone is in my opinion the best choice for shooting professional and creative video with a GoPro drone.
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
Traxxas is very well known in the field of RC cars, but newer when it comes to drones. This might be the reason behind the unique look of the Traxxas Aton Drone, with curves that might remind you of a racing car. This drone is very fast as well, with speeds up to 50 mph.
Gimbal
Included in this package there is a 2-axis gimbal that you can use with GoPro.
It works with GoPro Hero 3 and 4.
It does not work with Hero 5, but you can get some kind of universal mount that works with Hero 5 as well.
It will work with other similar sized action cameras too, but exactly which ones is not specified.
Features
There are different modes you can use when flying the Traxxas, like Sports Mode with speeds up to 50 mph and Film Mode, for shooting videos.
Beginners would do best to start in Film Mode.
The Traxxas also has Airbrake, a button you can press if you lose control, and the drone will stop and hover.
The Traxxas Aton can also do flips and rolls.
I also really like the lit up status bar that lets you know when the drone is ready for takeoff. It makes it easier for you to determine what the problem is when things do not work as expected.
This is the perfect GoPro drone for speed devils. The included gimbal is a big plus, and it is a drone you can grow into, starting with Film mode and advancing to the more advanced modes.
7. XIRO Xplorer G for GoPro
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
Includes a 3-axis GoPro-compatible gimbal
Dimensions: 14.8 x 13.9 x 6.4 inches
Flight time: about 25 minutes
Range: around 500 m
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
The XIRO Xplorer G works with GoPro Hero3 and Hero4, but Hero4 Black or Silver is the perfect fit.
The drone has a pretty good range, and a very good flight time of 25 minutes.
Features
It is quite technologically advanced, with a Follow Me function, and you can also use it to take selfies with the “Circle Around Me” functionality.
FPV
You get real time FPV via your smartphone, that you can attach to the remote control. You will then plug in the camera via the integrated USB port.
Return Home
The XIRO Xplorer will return to home if you lose connection, or if the battery is running too low. The remote will vibrate if you are about to run out of battery.
The quadcopter is delivered ready to fly.
The XIRO Xplorer is a very solid and well priced option for those looking for a great GoPro Quadcopter. It can fly high and cover large distances, and has advanced features.
8. Blade Chroma BLH8680
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
Gimbal for GoPro Hero available for purchase.
Dimensions: 13.1 x 13.1 x 9.5 inches
Flight time: about 30 minutes
Transmitter is not included you can use DSM2® and DSMX® 4+ channel.
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
GoPro-compatible camera mount
Blade has a very good reputation for building solid drones and rc helicopters, and the Blade Chroma BLH8680 is no exception.
The promised flight time of 30 minutes sounds almost too good to be true, and it seems to be closer to 25 minutes most of the time. But a little over 25 minutes is really outstanding as well.
A minus in my book is that it comes without a transmitter, and a gimbal is not included. You can buy a gimbal that is compatible though.
Blade recommends HERO 4, but I have seen people using HERO 3 and 3+ as well.
Features
The features of the GoPro version of the Chroma are decent, but fairly basic.
There is a mode for beginners, and a mode for more experienced flyers.
The Blade Chroma also has a return home function, and something called “Flight Boundaries”.
Here you can set the flight boundaries, so that you never fly below a certain altitude, or at a certain distance away from you.
The Blade Chroma BLH8680 is a really solid drone for GoPro, and Blade delivers quality once again. Make sure you already have, or acquire, a compatible controller as it is not included.
9. 3DR IRIS+ Quadcopter
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
Gimbal for GoPro Hero available for purchase.
Dimensions:18 x 25 x 6 inches
Flight time: 16-22 minutes
GoPro-compatible camera mount
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
IRIS+ from 3DRobotics has a lot to offer if you want to be able to take great videos and photos. One of the really cool things about this drone is the “Follow Me mode”, IRIS+ will follow your every move and keep you focused in the camera, which is really useful for more than just action sports.
It has a great autopilot, just tell it where to go and it will go there automatically while keeping the camera completely stable with the 2-axis gimbal.
The IRIS also has flight safety features, it can return home if it flies out of range, or the battery runs out.
I have seen it tested with Hero 3 and Hero 4.
GoPro Ready
IRIS features a GoPro-compatible camera mount so that you easily can mount the camera.
The Tarot T-2D Brushless Gimbal Kit is not included, but can be purchased separately. It works with GoPro Hero.
Ready to Fly
The IRIS+ is delivered ready to fly, all you have to do is to attach the propeller and charge your battery.
Why I Like it
One cool thing about the IRIS is the follow me mode, just set it to follow you and you can ride of on your bike, run, walk, whatever you want. It is your own hands-free camera crew.
I see the IRIS as an interesting alternative to the powerful GoPro drones like DJI Phantom 2, and although it has slightly less flight time, it has some really cool features that your can use together with your GoPro camera.
10. Walkera QR X350 Pro
Specs
Camera: No camera included.
Flight time: approx 23 minutes
GoPro-compatible mount
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
G-2D Gimbal included
GoPro-compatible First Person View System Included
The Walkera QR X350 is produced by the Chinese drone manufacturer Guangzhou Walkera Technology, and they have a very good reputation.
The flight time is about 23 minutes, which is quite impressive, and much better than the around 5 minute flight time you could get with the old Walkera X350.
This package has a FPV-system included, which broadcasts in-flight video to the radio.
Included is a mount and a gimbal compatible with GoPro cameras.
Optimized for GoPro
The gimbal is included in the price with this package, as is the compatible mount, and a GoPro transmitter. FPV works with 5.8GHz FPV technology so that it will not interfere with the Radio Control System. The system is ready to fly and completely setup to work with GoPro cameras.
Safety Features
It does come with a return to home function, which I like to see on drones that carry expensive camera equipment.
The DJI Phantom is, in my opinion, faster and easier to get up in the air, but for someone with a little drone experience the Walkera QR X350 Pro might be preferable to the DJI Phantom. It’s a different flying experience, and the Walkera might be a bit faster and more edgy.
A huge plus is that it is all setup and ready to work with GoPro, making it a very convenient choice. All in all this is a very good alternative to the DJI Phantom 2, and with this drone for GoPro Walkera really upped their game.
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
Cheerson Hobby behind this quadcopter is another Chinese manufacturer. This is a budget drone, but I think you still get a lot for the money. And it looks quite similar to the DJI Phantom too.
A big advantage with the Cheerson CX hobby is the price, you don’t need to be super careful while you are learning.
Although the price is relatively low, this is not a toy, it is a sensitive and smart technology.
The CX-20 professional has about 15 minutes of flight time and flies with high intensity led lights for better flight orientation. The fight speed is around 10 meters per second. The size of it is about the same as that of the DJI Phantom.
The GoPro quadcopter has no camera of its own but has included a mount that works with the cameras.
Safety Features
It has safety features that warn you if your batteries run low, and if you still keep going it will try and land automatically. The return to home function also works if the communication is disconnected.
Ready to Fly
The CX-20 professional is delivered ready to fly, but some assembly is required.
As always, read the instructions before you fly to avoid incident. Read the manual and check out the instructional disk.
The CXHOBBY CX-20 Professional has been getting pretty good reviews, and people seem happy with the performance of it, calling it a good budget alternative to the DJI Phantom. Expect a difference in build quality though, as the Phantom 2 is extremely well created.
Fully stabilized 3-axis GoPro-compatible gimbal and mount included
Flight time: 25 minutes
Payload: Designed to carry low weight actions cameras
The Ghost is an indiegogo crowd funding product and it is marketed as the easiest drone to fly. The Ghost 2.0 Aerial was just released, and just like in Ghost 1 there is no RC controller, instead you control it with your smartphone.
The Ghost 2.0 is now delivered with a 4K sports camera, but you can attach your GoPro instead. The gimbal is compatible with Hero 3, 3+, 4 and other action cameras.
You can set the quadcopter to night mode in the evening, and it will use LED lights so that you can track it better.
Like the IRIS+ and the AirDog you can set it to auto-follow mode, which is always handy if you want to shoot yourself biking, surfing, jogging or doing tricks.
The flight time is also very good, 25 minutes.
Gimbal included
There is a 3-axis aircraft grade aluminum gimbal included to keep the video stable, and it works well with GoPro Hero 3, 3+, 4 and other action cameras.
A plus is also that the Gimbal is pre-assembled and already mounted on the drone.
Safety Features
If the connection is lost, the return home safety feature kicks in. The Ghost is also resistant to wind and rain. Propeller protectors are included.
Android and iOS
To control the Ghost Aerial Drone 2.0 you need an android or iOS device, as it is controlled via the Ghost Drone app. Included in this package is the G-Box which provides a stable connection between Ghost and a smartphone at an effective range of up to 3,280 feet (1,000 m).
Great for Beginners
The Ghost 2.0 is designed to be extremely easy to use and get started. All you need is your smartphone, and you get real time data via the app. All the commands are very easy with Waypoint Mode and Flight Planning available via a one click system.
The Ghost 2.0 has come down a lot in price, which makes it a really interesting GoPro drone.
13. Bonus: Parrot AR.Drone 2.0
Specs
Camera: 720p high-definition live video streaming to tablet and smartphone
Dimensions: 23 x 0.5 x 23 inches
Flight time: 12 minutes
Range: 50 m
Payload: Not designed to carry low weight actions cameras
The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is a cheap option, and it is controlled by a smartphone or tablet.
It is quite small, making it a great choice if you want a drone that can easily navigate smaller spaces.
Includes Camera
It does come with a HD camera that offers live video streaming that goes right to your tablet or smartphone when flying. A camera mount is not included.
So if you want to attach your action camera you will need to purchase a mount. Keep in mind, adding weight to the quadcopter will reduce the altitude and the battery life.
Ready to Fly
The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 comes fully assembled and ready to fly. It has a range of about 50 meters and has a flying time of around 12 minutes.
Good for Beginners
The Parrot is especially helpful for beginners, since it is easy to fly and needs no major configuring when you take it out of the box.
On-board GPS tracking is also included which makes it easy to map out potential flight paths.
Cheap and Fun, but you Need a Mount
The Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 is not really made with an action camera in mind, but it is a cheap option and it is a lot of fun to fly, and it’s small enough to operate in smaller places. Without a gimbal the video will be a bit shaky though.
Video
Parrot AR Quadcopter 2.0 with GoPro Hero2 on a pretty windy day
Warning
Not Very Strong
For this combination to work you will need a mount that is very light, as the Parrot may not be able to lift both the camera and a heavy mount. I still wanted to include the Parrot on this list as a budget drone for GoPro, but it has some drawbacks.
Drones For GoPro Hero 5
The GoPro Karma dronecomes with a gimbal that supports Hero 5. You get full control of the camera, and the drone is easy to control and shoots amazing video.
Potensic D85 has also been reported to be compatible with Hero5, making it a great choice.The D85 is a mid-range priced drone that is very capable for its price, and the flight time of 20 minutes is very respectable.
I have seen reports that DROCON Bugs 3 also works with Hero5, but you may need to make certain adjustments.
You can also mount your Hero5 on the 3DR SOLO Quadcopter like this guy has done on the video below.
He did not use the gimbal but the stock camera holder and the Hero 5 image stabilization.
Drones For GoPro Hero 6
The only drone that I know for sure supports GoPro Hero 6 is theGoPro Karma drone. It is one of those drones that is completely made with GoPro cameras in mind, and fully integrated with them.
It has good reviews and since they upgraded it flies very stable.
A better option might be the Potensic D85 which is compatible with GoPro Hero 7. As the size is almost the same, I think it should work with Hero 6 too.
Drones For GoPro Hero 7
The best choice for your GoPro Hero 7 Action Camera right now would probably be the Potensic D85.
It is a drone that follows you, and has a respectable 20 minutes flight time. It was released 2019, and it is very well priced. It does come with a camera, but that can very easily be exchanged.
FAQ for GoPro Drones
Where can I get tips on how to get started as a beginner?
Start off with something that is cheap, but of good quality. I like the Holy Stone drones personally. If you go too cheap, you may have a hard time learning as the drone may be unreliable. Also do not get the most expensive drones just yet, so crashing wont break the bank or your heart.
Do you need a license to fly a drone?
If you fly for fun, the answer is most likely no. Check out our drone license post for more info.
I will keep updating this list as new drones come out on the market. If I missed something please feel free to let me know in the comments :).
29 thoughts on “Best Drone for GoPro [12 Outstanding GoPro Drones 2024]”
I know for what I’m going to save my money this year :-D. The DJI Phantom Aerial UAV Drone Quadcopter for GoPro seems the cheapest one to go for, am I right?
Yes, I think it is a great budget option. Go for it 🙂
The Blade 350 is also quite cheap though.
Any reviews of the YUNEEC Typhoon G Quadcopter? It’s in the same price range, but didn’t know if it was worth it.
I am looking to buy my husband a drone that is compatible with his go pro hero 3. Since he hasn’t flown a drone before I really didn’t want to spend a lot of money and found the the below option. Ionic Stratus Drone Quadcopter. Do you know anything about this option?
Hi,
It is compatible with Hero 3, and I think it is a good choice for a beginner too. It is also very cheap and it flies very well. Good for a beginner, the video wont be of professional quality since there is no gimbal to stabilize the video, but fun for sure. The flight time is about 10 minutes.
I have the walkera qrx350 pro and after having eliminated the failsafe’s with mission planner,I now rely on telemetry with the devof12e transmitter for battery duration. It is an amazingly reliable and probably the fastest drone availlable. I would reccommend this drone over any of the models cited in your article. batteries are the least expensive also.
What camera settings were used on the GoPro to reduce (almost eliminate ) fish eye?
I’m not sure on the camera. Maybe setting video to narrow or something. In the go pro studio desktop program you are able to remove the fisheye effect.
I was wondering with the iconic stratus drone is it capable with non go pro action cameras such as the keen h9?
I dont think so.
is there a drone out thats compatible with most kinds of action camera?
If you have $100 – $150 to spend on a first-time drone what can you recommend with a camera and the option of adding a go-pro mount? Or would you recommend going for either one with a camera or one designed for a go-pro?
Bit late reply :). Either go for a cheap go pro drone like the Ionic Stratus or get a camera drone.
I was wondering if there is a drone out there that works with gopro hero 5 session
You might want to check out copterlab.com, they seem to have some gimbal setup for gopro hero 4 session and 5 session that you can use on several drones.
Is the 3DR solo compatible with `gopro hero+ lcd` ?
I have heard it does not fit
Hey, I just got a gopro hero 5, will the DJI Phantom 2 Quadcopter with Zenmuse H4-3D work well together with my camera?
I don’t think it will work properly with it. Hopefully they will release a Zenmuse H5-3D but it is not looking likely at the moment.
Hi, I’m looking at buying my partner a drone but unsure as to which one. He has a gopro 4 and he wants to use it for his biking and rallying. Any options as to which one is best not too over priced?
Hi Georgia,
I would recommend the 3DR SOLO, it is compatible with GoPro Hero 4 and has some very good functions for shooting aerial video. You can also use the follow me mode for shooting videos while biking or driving. It has a very reasonable price.
Do you know if I can attach a GoPro to the Propel T-65 X-Wing Star Wars Drone. And if so, which one and what mount would you suggest?
Other than GoPro Karma drone, which is the best drone for GoPro Hero 5? I am searching for a drone for my husband who is very interested in drones.
Hi there really great post here! Congratulations!
I’m looking for a first drone, something that can take a gopro hero 6 and that has at least the follow me option, but I’m afraid to get the karma since gopro stopped it’s production, do you have any advice for me?
Nice! This will lessen the budget thanks for this article. Learn something about it thanks.
kindly advise me on a quadcopter that is compatible with Go Pro 6 action camera.
which drone is compatible with a go pro hero (2018)
Hi guy, is there any reason why a gopro hero 5 will not fit a xiro xplorer g gimbal? Can i mod the gimbal to make it work? Thanks for any help
Why are you still promoting the Karma drone as number one in your review if GoPro has dropped making drones? I almost bought one from Best Buy yesterday and decided to do more research. Your website is one of the first I came across and I plan on continuing to follow your advice but I cannot go with the Karma line if it is discontinued. You even mention the that GoPro is no longer making drones at the end of your article in red type.
I know for what I’m going to save my money this year :-D. The DJI Phantom Aerial UAV Drone Quadcopter for GoPro seems the cheapest one to go for, am I right?

kindly advise me on a quadcopter that is compatible with Go Pro 6 action camera.
which drone is compatible with a go pro hero (2018)
Hi guy, is there any reason why a gopro hero 5 will not fit a xiro xplorer g gimbal? Can i mod the gimbal to make it work? Thanks for any help
Why are you still promoting the Karma drone as number one in your review if GoPro has dropped making drones? I almost bought one from Best Buy yesterday and decided to do more research. Your website is one of the first I came across and I plan on continuing to follow your advice but I cannot go with the Karma line if it is discontinued. You even mention the that GoPro is no longer making drones at the end of your article in red type.
