I haven't seen anyone mention the upcoming GoPro Karma drone on here. Maybe I didn't look hard enough. Any guesses/ hints on the specs and costs? Is it waterproof? It's great to see new prosumer competition in the drone market!

Gopro is dead...and that makes me happy.
I'd say they will sell a ton when first produced - to fill up their distribution pipeline. Once the "first movers" already have them, sales will slow and it will be just another model with less than 5% of the consumer drone market.
Flying your drone over a ski area unfortunately ain't gonna happen. The no drone zone signs are already cropping up around the PNW including national parks.
Sure it'll change some games...most likely none that I'm playing though.. :) But who knows...certainly nobody here knows since next to nothing about it is public. So...to restate the question: "will technological innovation change the scape of the drone community?" Answer: yes, absolutely. Will the Karma change anything? Nobody outside those working directly on the Karma have any clue... I'd venture to say Bobby Brown doesn't even know. :)
DJI have already killed GoPro drone with the P4, would be my guess. I am sure the form factor will be nice and it will probably be waterproof.
(oh, maybe I should have watched the video first.. It does not appear to be auto following him in the video, which was my assumption)
Are drones like this even legal anymore in the US? If you can't fly FPV because you aren't staring at the drone in the sky, how is it ok to be doing a different activity and not even have your hands on a controller?
Without release of some actual specs, it is nothing more than a hype. (Like their overpriced cameras are)
