Do you think GoPros are worth the cost?

  1. Or is it another commoditized tech item that is already matched by the likes of Xaomi? Which you can buy for $60 (compared to $350+).


    I just heard the CEO on CNBC today and thought maybe that is one of the reasons why the stock is going down. Who will keep buying these items if they can get it cheaper 10x elsewhere?

    That's been the story for the past three years; same with GRMN. Sure, the mkt is already saturated with competing cameras. When do you short? You (shorts, in general) have seen it go from 40 to 90 and back to 30. The short is a crowded trade. No catalyst here.
     
  3. not much more than a digital camera glued to your helmet. it looks ridiculous perched there ..you'd think they'd try make it cool, or aerodynamic at leasto_O

    other tan attachment, where's the innovation?

    I was looking at video cameras to video my youngest son's club and High school soccer games for college coach crap. I was thinking GoPro would be cool as I could use it for fun riding the dirt bike too . I found out it doesn't have a zoom function which makes sense I suppose since the idea is that you are doing stuff while wearing and couldn't zoom. On the other hand they could include the function and make the camera more useful to another group of people and not a one trick pony. Possibly that has changed, but they missed out on a sale to me since it didn't have that function when I was looking.
     
  7. look at what you predicted. nice one!
