I have owned a GoPro since they first started manufacturing them for surfing. Living in Southern California what respectable photographer doesn’t own a surf camera? I have friends who have the DJI Phantom and I’ve seriously contemplated buying my own.
The Wall Street Journal recently reported that GoPro will be entering the drone market. I think I’m going to have to wait and see how this play out. I hope they’re waterproof.
The report says that the new devices will retail for $500 to $1,000, putting GoPro in direct competition with the current consumer drone darling, DJI, and its wildly popular Phantom line.
Colin Guinn, the former head of DJI’s North American operations and a current executive at 3D Robotics, makers of the Iris+ drone, sounds a little reticent about GoPro’s reported plan. “I’m happy to let GoPro keep making great cameras and we’ll keep making great copters,” he told WSJ.
