GoPro managed to survive smartphone cameras. I wonder if Flip could have too if Cisco wouldn't have killed it off.

- RandallBrown 2y agoEven with a tanking stock, I don't really see the market for action cameras to disappear. It might not be big enough to support an entire public company, but I don't see any reason it would be entirely unprofitable.
- fuzzythinker 2y agoIt's a losing battle against constant improvements in video capturing in smartphones. That plus a few better/cheaper competitors that are trying to make a name for themselves.
- vanchor3 2y agoDJI and Insta360 are starting to become prominent in the action camera market with better marketing tactics (e.g. providing cameras to influencers/sponsorships).
- fuzzythinker 2y agoThat's exactly the 2 brands I wanted to mentioned but didn't to not appear as shilling. I was going to get the DJI as it seems like the better choice until finding out it's useless unless I side-load install the app. I got the insta360 ace pro instead. The non-pro ace looks attractive at $100 less, but the 1" vs. 1/2" sensor in reviews seems like it was actually worth the $100 difference. DM me if you like to know how I like it after using it.
