The connection the skateboarding community and industry have with this camera today is not based, therefore, mainly on its technical properties. Choosing to use it is seemingly more a question of symbolism and/or aesthetics. Indeed more than twenty years after the release of the VX1000 a skateboard company, as a kind of tribute, called itself GX1000 and produces material with this camera exclusively. In 2022 another company, Skate Mental, sold skateboards showcasing the camera with a handle like that of the VX.
