GoPro, Inc.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1500435/000119312514204902/d552193ds1.htm )〕 (formerly Woodman Labs, Inc), is an American manufacturer of action cameras, often used in extreme-action videography. ==History== The company was founded by Nick Woodman in 2002. Woodman started the company following a 2002 surf trip to Australia in which he was hoping to capture quality action photos of his surfing, but could not because amateur photographers could not get close enough, or obtain quality equipment at reasonable prices. His desire for a camera system that could capture the professional angles inspired the 'GoPro' name. Woodman initially raised a portion of the money for his company by selling bead and shell belts for under US $20 out of his VW van〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Five Startup Lessons From GoPro Founder And Billionaire Nick Woodman )〕 and later, fashionable camera straps. He also received over $230,000 in investment from his parents.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How Family Ties Helped Nick Woodman Make GoPro Click )〕 In 2004, the company sold its first camera system, which used 35 mm film.〔 Digital still and video camera were later introduced. a fixed-lens HD video camera with a wide 170-degree angle was available; two or more can be paired to create 3D video.〔 On June 4, 2014, the company announced the appointment of former Microsoft executive Tony Bates as President reporting directly to Nick Woodman. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「GoPro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
