Shares were down by more than 21 percent in after-hours trading. The company even chose to halt trading on the NASDAQ until 4:45 p.m. ET — a clear indication that the company knew how bad things had gotten.

It seems like the devices are just not selling as much as they used to. Sales for the quarter totaled $241 million, a 40 percent decline compared to the same time last year — and again failing to meet expectations.

With the poor quarter, GoPro also issued guidance that was weaker than analysts' expected.

And yet, Nick Woodman, founder and CEO of GoPro, issued confidence.

In addition to striking a positive tone, Woodman claimed that the company was in a good place because its problem resided in not being able to make enough products.

Customer demand, he said, remains high, especially for the recently-released Hero 5 action cameras and foldable Karma drone. The sales for these products, which were released in October, were not included in this quarter's report.

The report is the second recent blow to the wearables market. Fitbit also released less-than-ideal earnings that send its stock dropped by more than 33 percent and CNBC analyst Jim Cramer squawking that the company is "done."
