Garmin beat them to the 360. My biggest complaint is that GoPro mounts are cheap and there isn't a high quality gimbal for the GoPro.

I went through two of GoPro's awful, plastic mounts before buying a metal, third-party mount, and never looked back. The two mounts that broke sent my GoPro careening down asphalt in each case, and I was lucky to both not lose it and to not have it be destroyed. So while the mounts are junk, the unit itself has proved to be very durable.

They used to do some metal
mounts, back in the Hero2 days. Shame they stopped.

Define high quality? The Smoove is great for example.

I'm looking for a gimbal I can use while running.

I’ve used my Smoove Pro for that, and on a motorboat, so... should work. Also works for phones.
If you know anyone who is or has worked there you know it’s because they are incredibly poorly run. They routinely waste development time on nothing projects, failing to ship code - even bug fixes - for literal years.
Their problems come from one of the most disfunctional managing cultures I’ve heard of in the Bay Area - and that’s a high bar.
