GoPro is perhaps best known for its action cams, a market that is now full of lookalikes and clones. The company has since then expanded its product portfolio to 360-degree cameras, accessories, and more. It also has a suite of mobile apps, most of them geared towards supporting GoPro's cameras. That, too, is also expanding and GoPro is rebranding its old mobile app into GoPro Quik, bringing some new features to a very old app.

GoPro today announced what sounds like a very handy accessory in the GoPro Remote. As you might have already figured out, the GoPro Remote is used to remotely control your GoPro cameras - up to five of them simultaneously, in fact. That means users can get their GoPro cameras set up or mounted and then take over most of the controls using the Remote.

The world is slowly settling down a more normal, some say "new normal", cadence and some are resuming their old outdoor activities while others choose to remain inside and embrace new ones. In many cases, these activities involve a bit of digital documentation, be it taking still photos and selfies or recording what could be once in a lifetime moments. GoPro has always specialized in the latter, having popularized the small action camera black box. Now it, too, is embracing a slightly new direction, if this box for the HERO 9 Black is any indication.

GoPro may have started or at least popularized the whole action cam market but it has definitely seen better days. From competitors and copycats that have eaten away at its market share to the COVID-19 pandemic that hit its core business hard, GoPro is moving to find its footing in a different kind of world. That would, it seems, involve trying to appeal to a different audience group, one that would love to see what the camera sees when that camera is pointed right back at them.

It's been a while since we've heard any major news from the company that started the whole action camera market. That doesn't mean GoPro is out of the picture, no pun intended. It has yet to launch a major action cam after launching a number of accessories and it isn't doing that today either. Instead, it is putting its current flagship shooter to other uses, making the GoPro HERO8 Black just as relevant inside the house at a time when going out might not be the best idea.

GoPro's Karma drone has never been a massive hit as far as consumer drones are concerned, but its model is owned by a number of enthusiasts...ones who have been unable to fly their drones since around the beginning of the month. The issue is due to some bug that has finally been identified by GoPro and fixed in a newly released firmware update. The problem, according to the company, had to do with the arrival of the new decade.

GoPro has introduced Light Mod, a new lighting accessory for the HERO8 Black action camera. The mod is essentially a removable flash that sits on top of the camera in the same way a flash would use the hot shoe on a mirrorless or DSLR model. The company introduced the Light Mod too close to the holidays to get in time for Christmas, but the model is now shipping in the US.

The GoPro HERO8 Black isn't the only new model from the action camera company today, with the GoPro MAX rebooting the 360-degree video idea first tried with the GoPro Fusion. Two cameras, one on each side, allow the GoPro MAX to both shoot 360 and regular HERO-style video and photos, as well as power what GoPro is calling "unbreakable stabilization."
