GoPro is making a line of consumer drones
Get your drone selfie game ready. GoPro is expanding its repertoire from cameras you can wear to cameras you can fly.
In 2015, the company will start selling consumer drones for between $500 and $1,000 a pop, The Wall Street Journal reports. Expect a multi-rotor helicopter with a high-definition camera attached.
The announcement caps a big year for GoPro, which went public in June and has so far seen a 15 percent uptick in sales from 2013.
