People in here are talking like GoPro’s issues are market related. That’s not true at all.
If you know anyone who is or has worked there you know it’s because they are incredibly poorly run. They routinely waste development time on nothing projects, failing to ship code - even bug fixes - for literal years.
Their problems come from one of the most disfunctional managing cultures I’ve heard of in the Bay Area - and that’s a high bar.

- vvilla 9y agoi can tell you one that works well: luuv gimbal
- abritinthebay 9y agoDefine high quality? The Smoove is great for example.
- atomical 9y agoI'm looking for a gimbal I can use while running.
- abritinthebay 9y agoI’ve used my Smoove Pro for that, and on a motorboat, so... should work. Also works for phones.
- noarchy 9y ago>My biggest complaint is that GoPro mounts are cheap and there isn't a high quality gimbal for the GoPro. I went through two of GoPro's awful, plastic mounts before buying a metal, third-party mount, and never looked back. The two mounts that broke sent my GoPro careening down asphalt in each case, and I was lucky to both not lose it and to not have it be destroyed. So while the mounts are junk, the unit itself has proved to be very durable.
