I’m very excited about the Karma. Being able to take the same camera from being mounted on an object, to being handheld and stabilized, to flying in a drone is very compelling.

There’s one thing keeping me from a day one sale though, the current No-Fly-Zone scheme. It’s been said on your community forums that it’s likely going to be a blanket ban on flying within a 5 mile radius of airports, with no exceptions. Ironically a thread on the forums shows that would ban flight at your own HQ, not to mention half of the Bay Area: http://i.imgur.com/03WVDWP.png

Since it’s perfectly legal to fly within 5 miles of an airport if you’ve notified the tower, or if you have a 107 license, will you pledge that GoPro will provide a way to unlock flight in those cases? If you can promise this is something GoPro will have for launch, or shortly after launch, I’ll buy on day one! Thanks!

That's some great news. I'm still disappointed that if I have a legitimate and safe use (say in a backyard below the tree line) at 1.4 miles from the airport there's no process to bypass it, but 1.5 is definitely better than 5!

When will you publish the NFZ maps online?
