GoPro also unveiled new mounts and accessories as well as new modes for the GoPro Karma drone.

Follow frames you in the shot and follows as long as you’re holding the Karma controller. Watch will keep whoever is holding the Karma controller in frame as it hovers.

Cable Cam has also been updated and now allows pilots to set 10 waypoints while Look Up Tilt can now tilt the drone upwards to look above the horizon.
