GoPro action camera

“You can get one that is small enough to stay out of the way, have a more secure mount than glasses”

“Get a go-pro that records locally”

“Filmed during holidays plenty of times, even under water.”

“they now ship a battery that cannot handle even mildly freezing temperatures. Impossible to film while skiing.”

“it did it's job well, but never had a need to replace or upgrade to the latest”

“crappy company being crappy that did the crappiest thing all the crappy companies do aka start a subscription”

“a cheap camera that could be mounted on something fast-moving so you could get cool action shots”

“GoPro is not the best for low light environments, and the battery is a bit temperature sensitive”

“they're so hackable with the gopro labs software”

“it does have much more than dji out of the box”

“The stabilization on modern gopros is magical.”

“One cool feature I've read about is that (at least some) GoPro cameras can save high-resolution IMU measurements to the recorded video files”

“Their drone was a failure, and they burnt a lot of money trying to do some kind of pivot to being a media company.”

“As soon as we hit deeper waters the capture button pressed itself down due the pressure and it wouldn’t come back up.”

“IMO the image quality on GoPro is still the best. For flat video it outperforms Insta360 and definitely DJI.”

“normal cameras, including cell phones, are usually more than enough and GoPro somehow managers to be worse”

“GoPro isn't failing because the concept is wrong - the market is massive . GoPro is failing because its competitors started releasing clones which are both better and cheaper.”

“A phone is the wrong form factor and a DSLR is too heavy.”

“they prioritize mobile apps over their PC software so if you want to edit on a computer like a normal reasonable person you lose features”

“I loved the product early on, but they became the Adobe Creative Cloud of cameras.”

“their products are currently a better value for cost/performance”

“stayed too technical and product-based and didn't build a brand beyond "we make action cameras."”

“They are both really really bad, with ads everywhere constantly pushing subscriptions to their cloud services.”

“many YouTubers suggesting outright against GoPro since they haven't kept up with image quality”

“Gopro has this cool reliable aura around them.”

“You'll get better quality video and you won't look like you're trying to hide the fact that you're filming.”

“This is why gopros exist.”

“would take much better videos”

“press the power button — this will mark the current moment in the video as a chapter”

“after 15 years they cant figure out how to make a camera that doesn't reset its clock every time you recharge it”

“They've been a has-been for the last 5 years at least. They didn't go under, but still lost the title and tons of market share to DJI and 360”

“they're the best option we have”

“they could have just kept trying to make good products instead of whatever subscription service bullshit they attempted”

“GoPros, despite their flaws, are still the best action camera in the market for many people, including me.”

“I've heard a lot of bad stuff about GoPro, and most of the GoPro footage I've seen has been pretty shitty in my opinion”

“The physical buttons on a GoPro are frustrating to use: hold down or continuously press or press once.”

“they don't have a single compelling product and HOLY FUCK the software is bad compared to insta360”

“cool camera too one with detachable lens”

“has easily replaceable batteries”

“An expensive action sports novelty.”
