Brand Highlights
GoPro cameras and accessories are more than synonymous with action cameras and sports photography. The GoPro name itself has come to define the genre entirely. From motor racing, to wingsuit flying, surfing, and everything in-between. Wherever the action is, there’s a GoPro camera to record it.
History
Like all great inventions, GoPro was born when founder Nick Woodman couldn’t find a suitable camera to use on a surfing trip in 2002. Taking matters into his own hands, Woodman raised funds by selling surfer-style jewellery from the back of his VW bus, founded GoPro, and sold the brand’s first camera in 2004.
From an idea to a real product took just two years. GoPro was up and running, selling their first wrist-mounted 35mm action cameras, the GoPro Hero. Those early devices were the first and last analogue cameras GoPro made. In 2006 the GoPro Digital Hero set the wheels in motion for the brand’s explosion onto the world stage. By 2009, the GoPro HD Hero launched the brand into the modern digital age, allowing users to capture 720p video with several hours of battery life on a single charge.
