Go Pro is in deep trouble, but not for the reasons all of the Wall Street analysts are saying. There is a big market out there for high-quality action cameras, and sales will likely continue to climb. The problem GoPro is running into is a problem that all technology leaders run into after a while: Other companies out there are now selling products that are just as good as a GoPro camera for a fraction of the price.

Here’s a perfect example: From now until the end of the day on April 2, Amazon is selling the Activeon CX Action Camera (Onyx Black) for just $91. Is it really as good as a GoPro? A whopping 4.4 star customer rating on Amazon doesn’t lie.

Some key details from the Amazon page:

  • Full HD 1080P 30fps action camera with super wide FOV and 6-elements aspherical galss F/2.4 lens
  • Built-in Wi-Fi and 120 min battery life
  • 2″ Built-in LCD: The high quality LCD live viewfinder allows you to monitor captured photos and videos instantly
  • Two button control allows users to switch easily between settings
  • Automatic time lapse video recording and water, sport, and night video modes
