Camera-On-A-Stick Goes Full Kodak - Crashes 16% To Record Lows

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Camera-on-a-stick is down 83% from its October 2014 (the end of QE3) highs (and down 75% since Jim Cramer said it was "bargain" in July). GoPro is down 33% from its IPO price... and down 16% today as more analysts realize now is the time to downgrade before it goes full Kodak.

Go-Pro should merge with the Pogo Company.

Pogo-Pro and Camera-On-A-Pogo-Stick sound catchy! ;-)

GoPro cameras should cost $69.00.  That's how overpriced they are.

Hey look at that.  A company that is heavily relient on people having disposable income is crashing cause people don't have disposable income.  Surprise, surprise, surprise.

The trick is figuring out you can get them to dispose of it in your product that wall streets works on round the clock.

I was stupid enough not to buy one Go Pro camera but two and they both sucked.

The first one broke almost immediately.  I couldn't turn it off and had to wait for the battery to go completely dead.

So what did I do?  Returned it for another one.  And guess what?  It broke even sooner than the first one.

I wrote in the Amazon comments section that is was only a matter of time before Go Pro went bust putting out such an inferior product.

True capitalism at work.

That's strange.  

We've got a couple and they've been very abused for years without a single problem.  From extreme heat, to cold, underwater, launching in the air, etc.

lmao!!!...

"The Federal Aviation Administration on Monday announced new rules that will require nearly all owners of remote-controlled recreational drones to register in a national database, an attempt by the agency to address safety fears about the machines."

Right, cuz .gov needs to license this to collect revenue and ensure monopoly power stays with the state and it's cronies.

Gooo Fascism!...and the crowd goes wild!!!

growing up they were called 'remote control airplanes'  not effing drones! This miltary infusion into every fucking corner of our lives is starting to bug me.

 

Back in the day, you would hook a servo to release a m1000 from da airplane.... imagine these days... TEWWISTS!!

gpro makes a profit.  and probably can do so at much lower prices.   they need to work on the social media side of it, getting self absorbed asses to post thier crazy vids in one place, or become 'members' and vote on each others shit.   while i find this egoism off putting,  it sells and peole love to do it theyre so full of themselves.

Just to let you know, you can get a fine extreme camera to put on a stick in HK for about USD $25.

Then you can mount it on any number of cheap drone devices sold in the electronics market.

Not quite zero. They're the only ones that can do 4k well. However most people don't care very much about 4k.

Speaking of HK look into the airsoft laser grips from HK people. They work perfect on "real" weapons for about 30 bux compared to the $350 bullshit Crimson Trace.

meanwhile NFLX up 1000% in 3-4 years. I'll just leave this here...

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/nflx-slammed-amazon-smashes-barrier-entry-...

 

"there is a massive bubble in available "content."the intennet alone is more than enough.  NFLX, SIRI, Cable TV, Land lines, ..who needs all this stuff?"

"If you don't own the content, the infrastructure, or manufacture the delivery mechanism, it's only a matter of time before your ship sinks."

"The content owners are gathering all the profits as licensing fees have increased ten fold over the past two years. This was entirely forseeable. With no barriers to entry the pipeline becomes valueless and has no prospect of profit growth. The window for pipelines acquiring content is now effectively closed."

takes a while for the fruit toripen.   hulu, youtube channels, etc.  yes barriers falling....and as soon as the wall hits retail in the face and see nflx down 20% with a general bear mkt....another 50% should be ez.    

everything is gassing then crashing, then gassing....make your calls, sell high buy low, if you wait to see -20% it;ll be half over.

Peak content.

 

I see a day when people are going to seekout places with no "content" access. I hunt in a area without cell service and camping there is like a breath of fresh air. SO nice to not have the phone ring and just staring at the fire.

 

A bottle of Yukon Jack is also a great companion at such times.
