Action camera company GoPro have announced their third quarterly results and hinted at the potential launch of a new camera in 2018
GoPro has had a good second half of 2017 so far with the launch of the GoPro Hero 6 Black and the announcement of a profitable quarter.
In a recent company release, GoPro’s third quarter 2017 results show that revenue was up at $330 million, which is up 37% year-over-year, with its gross margins approximately at 40%.
The action camera company is now reportedly working on another new offering in the market with hints that it will update the Hero 5 Session.
According to our sister site Trusted Reviews, CEO Nick Woodman announced in an investor call that the company was planning to replace the Session.
Woodman hinted that the plan is to replace the entry-level camera with another affordable option in 2018.
This reportedly comes after higher than expected demand in the market for the Session in the past year.
Woodman and COO CJ Porter teased the product in the call, adding that the camera will boast an even better form factor for its price.
