GoPro is an American action camera manufacturer. GoPro cameras have been widely used by extreme sports groups such as surfing, skiing, extreme cycling and skydiving, so "GoPro" has almost become synonymous with "extreme sports cameras".
The founder and inventor of GoPro is Nick Woodman.
GoPro started out as an ordinary American hardware company, specializing in small action cameras. The original camera prototype was tinkered with by Woodman using his mother's sewing machine and a power drill.
