How GoPro Lost Its Crown.

GoPro didn't become the king of action cameras by accident. It created an entirely new category, built a massive brand, developed a strong creator community, and became almost synonymous with action cameras. But then the market changed. Smartphones became better. GoPro's Karma drone failed. New competitors appeared. And while GoPro continued working on its HERO lineup, DJI kept expanding — from flight-control systems and drones to gimbals, cameras, and eventually action cameras. DJI didn't defeat GoPro overnight. It simply kept improving and started attacking the areas where GoPro was vulnerable. This is the story of how one company created the action-camera market — and how another company became one of its biggest rivals.
