Good catch! 3 hours ago, Emanuel said: :-) Really sucks! He says. So gopro does not?? He says he speaks as filmmaker.... Really? As filmmaker or news shooter?? Funny, people have no idea what it means to be filmmaker. Not even what filmic means. Strange days. Pavel Mašek and Emanuel 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ki Rin Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 That last video also shows the karma drifting all over the place. Seems really unsafe to me. Especially without the sensors. Hopefully they can fix that in firmware, and soon. Last thing we need is a bunch of new drone users crashing their karmas into things.

jpfilmz Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 GoPro shares halted after devastating quarterly results The company’s stock trading was halted prior to releasing results that missed revenue expectations by 23 percent and nearly $75 million. When trading began again shares were down 22 percent. This means that in a matter of minutes the market cap of the company melted from $1.23 billion to $972 million — the spontaneous combustion of roughly $250 million in market value.https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/03/gopro-trading-halted-as-company-misses-revenue-expectations-by-23/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Indeed. Sad to see. The price to pay when they just release some irrelevant refresh to their previous line. On DJI side, seems only a limited quantity of Mavic units have been delivered to the first pre-orders placed, so far. https://techcrunch.com/2016/11/03/dji-now-says-early-mavic-pro-orders-should-be-processed-in-seven-to-eight-weeks/?ncid=rss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinegain Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Think it's mostly that people are realizing buying a GoPro doesn't make you a surfer, cliff jumper, wingsuiter, extreme snowboarder, etc. And for whatever they do use it for their current action cam will suffice and they're not too interested in upgrading. Did see one guy in Chinatown getting frustrated at his HERO5 on a selfie stick for not obeying his voice command 'GoPro, take photo', so there's still some people buying 'em, I guess. Do think they are THE action cam to go for and I have two GoPros myself that come in handy every now and then, but I think the demand has come down and the competetion got more attractive, so it's just a tough position to be in. Offering a whole system around the GoPro was supposed to get things back on track, but I'm not sure how many people will actually get into that sorta thing. The great thing about the GoPro is that it's easy to take with you, mount and operate. Don't see that many people going about their day with a quadcopter and handheld gimbal stabilizer. I like the fact that the new GoPro e.g. offers a touchscreen and is waterproof without a case and has a fairer price than the previous models, but I was kinda expecting some more improvements in the imaging department. Can't tell much difference with HERO4 specs/footage. That is a bit of a shame, since competition is getting stepping up the game considerably with each release... for less money too. And if GoPro wants to remain THE go-to brand, they need to have class leading specs and quality. Still like 'em though. There's something Canon about them. Small incremental updates, but the picture looks pretty sweet right of the bat, little bit thicker with pretty colors. Kisaha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kisaha Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 @Emanuel do you have a video out? For what I have seen already, I prefere to rent someone with an Inspire to do the job. For less quality, and more fun, Mavic seems brilliant, the next itiriation maybe will be right for me too. For now I am playing with Syma toys!

BookMark Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I do feel abit sorry for them. afterall, they got everyone to use the word "GoPro" instead of action cam. but with devices from the far east like YI 4K, and endless cheap copies, they need to try very hard to differentiate from the rest. In my opinion, like many other western/hi-tech success stories, they cant complete on manufacturing cost, but they can focus on software and user experience which is often very lacking for the far east product. look at osmo mobile vs the far east offerings; or look at some of the chinese phones (ZTE, LeEco, all just about spec spec spec, and the whole thing just doesn't gel together like a finished/polished product) compared to something like an iphone. but instead, as mentioned, they refreshed the hardware, pushed the price up further, and didn't really improve the software side. Look at the control of Karma, especially that tutorials, they need to put alot more work into that.... i reckon they still have a chance to come back, but they need to do it real soon before speculation become reality.

Taranis Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I see too many footage with blurry edges. Once you see it you can't unsee it. It's very evident on the train passing video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emanuel Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Indeed. And this is one of the reasons why I like this device. No oversharpened edges. Makes it much more cinematic to my eyes, than the usual stuff I've usually seen from the other toys. As matter of fact, this is the first bird of this category to catch my attention. shooter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
