Product Range

The MISSION 1 Series marks GoPro's move into a more professional segment of the camera market, positioning the line as compact cinema cameras capable of 8K and 4K Open Gate recording. The flagship MISSION 1 PRO uses a 50MP 1-inch sensor and a new GP3 processor, while the standard MISSION 1 uses the same sensor and processor with lower recording specifications.

According to the product details, the MISSION 1 PRO supports 8K60, 4K240 and 1080p960 in 16:9 video capture, along with 8K30 and 4K120 in Open Gate 4:3. The MISSION 1 is limited to 4K120 Open Gate and 8K30, 4K120 and 1080p240 in 16:9, while still supporting 50MP photo capture.

The ILS version is aimed at users who want interchangeable lenses. It uses the same 50MP 1-inch sensor and GP3 processor as the MISSION 1 PRO, but adds support for Micro Four Thirds lenses and adapters.

Bundles And Accessories

GoPro also outlined several MISSION 1 PRO bundles that pair the camera with additional hardware. These include a Grip Edition, a Creator Edition and an Ultimate Creator Edition, each aimed at different production setups.

The Grip Edition pairs the camera with a grip that can also function as a mountable metal cage. The Creator Edition adds the new Media Mod, the Volta 2 battery grip and the Wireless Mic Complete Kit. The Ultimate Creator Edition includes those items along with the Fluid Pro AI gimbal and Light Mod 2.

A wider accessory line-up is also planned for the series, including a wireless microphone system, a dedicated Media Mod with extra audio and video connections, Enduro 2 batteries, ND filters, a protective housing, Volta 2, Light Mod 2, a dual battery charger and a vertical mount adapter.

The protective housing extends waterproofing to 60 metres for the MISSION 1 and MISSION 1 PRO. Without the housing, both cameras are waterproof to 20 metres, while the MISSION 1 PRO ILS is described as weatherproof.

Subscriber Offers

The pricing structure gives annual GoPro subscribers discounts of AUD $150 or NZD $190 on MISSION 1 Series cameras in the two markets. The offer applies to yearly subscribers on renewal.

GoPro is also using the launch to promote its accessory ecosystem alongside the cameras. The free Point-and-Shoot Grip offered with early reservations has a listed value of AUD $154.95 in Australia and NZD $199.99 in New Zealand.
