Assuming that credibility isn't a factor, there's definitely a market for a poor man's GoPro since those cameras retail for $200 and up. But is the DR buyer the right target for such a product? I don't think so.
That's pretty clear from the commercial, which features very few "everyday" uses. Skateboarding, zip-lining, go-carting and alligator-feeding aren't exactly things our 50+ target customer does often. And the other uses are handled pretty well with a smart phone or nanny cam.
As with a product such as Magic Jack, I think there is probably a pretty big market for this item. It's just not the DR market.
