The GoPro Mission 1 Pro is an all-new compact cinema camera launched in May 2026, representing GoPro's boldest departure from the Hero series. Built around a 50MP 1-inch quad-bayer CMOS sensor and the new GP3 processor, it captures stunning 8K60 video with 14 stops of dynamic range, 4K240 slow motion, and 1080p960 ultra slow motion — all in a rugged, waterproof (20m) body weighing just 207g. The ultra-wide 159° fixed lens with HyperSmooth stabilization delivers gimbal-like footage for action sports, travel, and professional filmmaking, while GP-Log2 and Open Gate 4:3 recording provide maximum flexibility for color grading and reframing in post-production.
