GoPro has long been the gold standard for action cameras. It tried to encroach on DJI’s domain with a drone but that didn’t really work out and GoPro gave up on its drone ambitions. It’s DJI’s turn now to shake things up a bit. The recent leaks were accurate, the company today unveiled its new Osmo Action camera. It has been developed to compete with GoPro’s Hero line.
DJI is a company that many might be familiar with as a company that specializes in making drones. GoPro, on the other hand, might be more known as a company that specializes in action cameras. However, we have seen in the past that GoPro has attempted to develop its own drones, and now DJI could be looking to do the same with action cameras as well.
The ongoing trade dispute between the United States and China threatens even the U.S. companies that have their products manufactured in the People’s Republic. Their products could end up costing more if tariffs are imposed on more products that are made in China, a move some fear would raise iPhone prices noticeably, for example. GoPro is taking a pre-emptive step by announcing that it will move almost the entire U.S.-bound […]
When it comes to action cameras, it’s safe to say that GoPro is more or less the default brand that comes to mind. That being said, it seems that GoPro is set to announce new cameras soon because thanks to B&H Photo (via The Verge), it looks like the company accidentally leaked a bunch of GoPro HERO7 cameras ahead of their official announcements.
It appears that GoPro will soon be announcing a new action camera. The company is best known for its action cameras and despite some its troubles recently, it continues to do what it does best.

Have you ever wondered what it looks like from a Hot Wheels perspective? If you’ve ever been curious, then you might be interested to learn that Mattel has unveiled a new Hot Wheels car (if you can call it that) called “Zoom In” that actually comes with a mount designed to fit a GoPro action camera.
GoPro really wants you guys to buy their cameras, so much so that the company has recently launched its “TradeUp” program. As it name suggests, this is pretty much a trade-in program (except that GoPro is framing it like you’ll be upgrading your camera) that will accept any old camera that will go towards the purchase of a new GoPro.
Earlier this year it was reported that GoPro had put itself up for sale. It seems that the company isn’t doing so well and is looking to sell itself off. However what’s interesting is that according to a report from The Information (paywall; via Bloomberg), one potential candidate to buy GoPro comes in the form of Chinese smartphone giant, Xiaomi.
GoPro’s business has had a tough couple of years even though it’s synonymous with really good action cameras. CEO Nick Woodman has previously said that the company will reset expectations this year and its new product is certainly the first step in that direction. GoPro today launched its promised entry-level action camera that’s simply called GoPro Hero. It costs $199.
If you’re in the market for a new GoPro camera, it seems that you won’t have to wait much longer for an announcement because according to Nokishita Camera, an announcement is expected to be made on the 30th of March. This is in line with an earlier report by Photo Rumors who also claimed that we will be seeing an announcement towards the end of March.
Despite being synonymous with action cameras, GoPro has had a rough couple of years as it struggles to bring in new customers willing to spend top dollar for its products.
