But the GoPro Hero is only $130 and is physically the same size.

And the lower resolution and features probably don't matter when you stitching together 16 streams.

The first GoPro is garbage. I have one, and I have the 3+ one. The first one is noisy, has horrible compression, absolutely horrible at low light, doesn't shoot 4K, doesn't do 60fps at 1080p.

Truly we live in the future. If you told me even 15 years ago these would be legitimate complaints for a sub-$200 camera I would have called you crazy.

15 years is an eternity in technology. Check out the processors from 2000, they are all garbage by every reasonable metric. They are only good as heaters now.
