According to an announcement made on Monday (24), GoPro, a leading company in the manufacture of action cameras, began to manufacture its products directly in Brazil. The company's intention seems obvious: Lower the prices of cameras in Brazil, leaving aside import costs.
" Local device manufacturing allows us to offer our customers, together with our retail partners, products at competitive prices," says Drew Goldman, sales director at GoPro in Latin America, in a statement.
Also according to the company, prices may have a reduction of 25% to 30%, making the demand and purchase of a segment camera less painful in the pocket. The first camera to change price is GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition, which must reach the shelves of Fnac, Cold Point, FastShop and Walmart for the price of R$ Five hundred.

Hero 3+ Black was in 2013 in the United States, where it currently costs US$ 400.00. In the press release, the company also informs that it wants to manufacture in Brazil, in January, the new Hero4 line, launched this year and which includes Hero4 Black and the simplest Silver and Hero models.
