What about the karma? Where I can buy in India?
It’s illegal to import Drones in India. So I don’t think Karma will be available in India. I’ll check again with GoPro and it’s Indian distributors.
Hey Thanks for replying man. I was planning to order from the US store which means $80 shipping fee + local taxes (unknown) which would mean almost same.
Can you please share with us any details of the official distributor in India from whom I could order this?
So how and where do we get to buy them?
Thanks for sharing this. Also, how did you calculate the price? Is it some rough estimation of the cost of ordering directly to India from GoPro’s website?
Hi harish, the price is from an Official distributor of GoPro cameras in India.
Where is the distributor located in India.
Hello, You can purchase the camera from Amazon India http://amzn.to/2miS6ER
