Yeah... no.

I wouldn't skydive with those glasses.

Though "gopro for the rest of us" would be a good tagline.

The rest of your post is pretty spot on.

Sure. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer. I just think they should be nervous not because they would lose customers but because they could potentially lose the market segment this is going after.

If Spectales were $99 instead of $129 I think they'd be in solid impulse buy territory, too.

I am not in marketing / sales so maybe GoPro likes being at the top and making higher end cameras and it won't matter. As it is today a pair of glasses that only records 10 seconds of video won't be able to compete anyway.
