GoPro shifts from action cams to defense and aerospace under new owner
GoPro has been sold to Starman Holding for $285 million in cash, a move the company frames as a merger that shifts GoPro toward defense, government, robotics and aerospace. The press release highlights GoPro’s imaging IP and US manufacturing ambitions, with production to be brought back to the United States. GoPro will continue existing consumer products while expanding into defense/aerospace consulting; Markiplier owns about 8.5% of shares and the deal is expected to close by year-end, though SEC filings had not yet appeared.
