What's that all about with Nick Woodman after appear on CNBC yesterday?


Will Karma be upgraded this year?
GoPro's normal product cycle in cameras is to upgrade them once a year. In drones, ...but an upgrade this year could be great for the company. Adding features like collision avoidance and more automated flying features like "follow me" would be a big step in the right direction and catch Karma up with some of the popular DJI Mavic's standard features. With drones improving year after year, GoPro can't just stand pat with a drone that's "good enough," particularly as competitors improve around it.

*I think if GoPro can take 40% shares of drones market as starter in 2017 there's no limit to grow bigger then those other guys.*

360 video could be GoPro's growth engine:
We don't know a lot about Fusion yet, except that it's a spherical camera that's supposed to allow you to reframe images in 2D shots and see full-field of view in VR. This leverages GoPro's acquisition of Kolor a couple of years ago and its experience with the Omni spherical camera rig. And if the company can get the Kolor software to the point where it's easy to use, particularly in mobile devices, this could be a huge winner. And with a launch planned in 2017, Fusion could be the growth driver GoPro needs.

my opinions also & GLA.
