SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- GoPro, Inc.
(NASDAQ: GPRO) announced that HERO7 Black has achieved the
highest week-one retail unit sell-thru of any new camera in the
company's history.
"HERO7 Black's gimbal-like HyperSmooth video stabilization is
officially a hit with consumers," said Nicholas Woodman, GoPro's founder and CEO. "Now
that new owners are posting their HERO7 Black videos online, we're
seeing very strong endorsement and interest."
In addition to HERO7 Black's week-one unit sell-thru
performance, social media engagement jumped 80% from last year's
launch; and users' feedback on exciting new features like
HyperSmooth and TimeWarp Video are overwhelmingly
positive. Vloggers like Matti
Haapoja, and tech media critics such as
Engadget, CNET and Mashable have given HERO7 Black
strong accolades. HERO7 Black has also received
Editor's Choice Awards from PC
Magazine and Tom's Guide.
Additionally, a false claim was posted on social media that a
major U.S. retail partner had recalled the HERO7 line of
cameras. This is not true. "It is unfortunate that this
false claim was made, and we want to set the record straight that
this is not true. In fact, we are very pleased with the
initial unit sell-thru we are seeing globally," remarked
Brian McGee, Chief Financial Officer
for GoPro.
