Perhaps the chinese clones are denting sales? I own two GoPros but I understand the clones are very nearly as good, for a much lower price.

- Crosseye_Jack 10y agoThe latest model is a good improvement [1] but I've yet to try it out my self [1] https://youtube.com/watch?v=VTx9lYpfWSg https://youtube.com/watch?v=VTx9lYpfWSg
- tonyplee 10y agoAgree, one can easily study the clone's features, price and customer reviews here: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_12?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=sport+hd+camera&sprefix=sport+hd+cam%2Caps%2C583&crid=25PNMHE1JA0HR https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_1_12?url=search-alia... They use the same SOC, camera sensors. There are tons of HD Videos comparison reviews on Youtube.
- joshu 10y agoI am told the GoPro is very similar to the ambarella reference board. Are you saying these are similar? Because that would be very useful.
- tonyplee 10y agoI believe they used the same chip. Anyway, I got one of the clone after study the youtube video of the output for $50+ to put on my kid's model airplane. It works great. He crashed the airplane a lot. With only $50, I feel better.
- uw_rob 10y agoMan you aren't kidding about those being clones. The packaging even looks similar.
- nullnilvoid 10y agoIronically, GoPro is trying to clone drones from a Chinese company called DJI which dominates commercial drone market.
