They have one product line. Yeah they are *the* name in that line, but still one line. Not a good investment.

They should just go back to being private

Drones got cheaper

Likamus

there are some amazing gopro vids on YouTube !

Because A) everyone has a good camera in their pocket at all times B) gopro hasn't released anything substantially different in years, but keeps releasing them C) expensive

Tough making money selling hardware
