- nutjob2 12y agoFrom a low base?
- jnks 12y agoHm. And then down YoY in Q1 earnings (from $255M last year to $236 this year). Did they saturate their market already?
- bake 12y agoHave to imagine Q1 is a small quarter for them, sandwiched between Q4 holiday sales and Q2 return of summer/outdoor activities. Probably not indicative of full year performance.
- bri3d 12y agoThey also released a major new generation of cameras in October 2012 (Hero 3), while October 2013 included new hardware but was more of a "tock" (Hero 3+).
- amorphid 12y agoI wonder how long the GoPro device lasts before a consumer replaces it. In my mind, a GoPro is something you wear on your head while doing crazy stuff. Even if GoPro never makes technology improvements, it seems like people would be destroying them as part of normal use, like other types of athletic equipment.
- andrewmunsell 12y agoI imagine that many people end up losing the device instead of destroying them, given the number of stories where people drop the cameras out of a plane, have the camera film a car crash from the interior, etc. and they survive with some impressive footage.
- spacecadet 12y agoUmm yeah no.. I own a few GoPro's from all generations- they are TANKS! I threw one in it's case, out of a car going 90mph and it survived...
- eric_h 12y ago> I threw one in it's case, out of a car going 90mph On purpose?
- gcd 12y agoI'm trying to think of a situation where you could accidentally throw a camera out of a speeding car..

- kwikshot 12y agoHe just said that they're extremely durable and you're refuting that by saying they're durable?
