I have a friend who bough a new GoPro Hero Session and now he wants a drone to mount to it. I tried talking him into a Phanton 4 but he had already purchased to GoPro. So my questions is.....what would be the best drone to buy so he can mount his GoPro to it? Is there a certain gimble he need to buy to attach it? I have a Phanton 3 Pro and love it so would steer him towards a DJI bird. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks all!!!!

Wait for GoPro to fix the Karma and release it again.

Normally, a pilot would purchase an adequate drone, that could carry a camera, and go from there.

But being this is the reverse order, there are numerous RC hobby grade drones that can carry a small or medium sized digital camera.

Perhaps looking into an older Phantom would be a good start point, or some of the others too...

Anyway, there are many choices. Just let your fingers do the walking. Haha

There are a couple of things your friend can do.

1. Buy a drone kit which fits nicely to the GoPro session, for example, if you have a look at the following drone build, you can see that the frame allows for a great attachment of the GoPro Session, you can see the final result here.

You could also opt for buying a personal drone which attaches to the GoPro nicely.

Just like a few people have pointed, there's plenty of drones which can cater for a GoPro, including but not limited to:

1- The Phantom 3 like you suggested with a specific attachment for GoPro
2- The GoPro Karma 2 (hopefully it doesn't kill itself like the GoPro Karma 1 :-)
3- The Yuneec Typhoon G
4- Syma X8G - with specific attachments for GoPro
5- Ionic Stratus Drone

There's lot more choice, but the above are definitely great choices!

For me, I like "GoPro Karma with HERO5 Black". You can read full review and comparison about drone with Go Pro here: 10techy.com/best-drone-cameras/

This is a great resource for finding the best drones for use with GoPro - https://dronedeliver.co.uk/best-drones-gopro/

They discuss the best drones for different kinds of GoPro cameras included the Hero 4 and Hero 5.
