GoPro announced the “MISSION 1” series, which is a separate line from the existing “HERO” series action cameras, in the U.S. on April 15, and held a presentation for the Japanese market on May 20. The MISSION 1 is equipped with a new 1-inch sensor and is positioned as a compact cinema camera by the company. The MISSION 1 series includes three models: the MISSION 1 PRO (122,600 yen) and MISSION 1 (105,400 yen) with a 14mm GoPro standard lens, and the MISSION 1 PRO ILS (120,600 yen) with a micro four thirds mount. The two models will be The MISSION 1 PRO and MISSION 1 will be available on May 28; only the MISSION 1 PRO ILS will be available in the fall of 2026. The hardware aspects are identical, from the new custom SoC GP3, the 1-inch sensor, Wi-Fi 6 compatibility, the new Enduro 2 battery with high capacity, the hood included, and the size of the body The PRO and unbranded models differ in the frame rate at which they can shoot video. The PRO supports high frame rates of 8K/60fps, 4K/240fps, and 1080p/480fps at 16:9, and can also shoot 8K open-gate (no pixel crop) 4:3 video at 30fps. The unmarked 4:3 has a maximum setting of 120 fps at 4K. If you are not concerned about slow motion and 8K open gate, the choice would be to go with unmarked instead of PRO; the advantage of shooting in a 4:3 angle of view, including 8K open gate, is that it can later be edited to accommodate both vertical and horizontal frames, making it easier to accommodate vertical video for social networking. Details of supported video resolutions and frame rates vary as follows.
