The likes of Nikon, Garmin, and Kodak have all tried their hand, and while none have officially given up there seems to be no new products from them for several years.
A few companies have now carved their way into the market. DJI, the drone maker, and Insta360 have come in swinging, as well as Sony who has carved a section into the high end filming niche. And Ricoh focusing on the 360º camera market.
