The company has commented that high market competitiveness and regulatory standards have been the main causes. DJI remains the undisputed leader and they have failed to harm him with the only model they have released. So this closure deepens the GoPro crisis.

GoPro still in trouble

The drone market has not been a good adventure for the company. Since they have not been able to find success in it. In addition, this massive layoff of workers is the fourth that the company has carried out since 2016. So this makes it clear that the situation of the company is not the best. Something that forces them to take action on the matter as soon as possible.

In this way, the company's staff is already below 1, 000 workers worldwide. GoPro has commented that they are going to present several strategies for this year. All of them with the duty and objective of making the company improve its situation.

Karma, the only drone they have released so far, will continue to sell until stocks are depleted. For users who have one or buy one, they will continue to receive support from the company. GoPro hopes that their new adventures will be successful, so we will see what plans they have for this 2018.
