GoPro MISSION 1 PRO

GoPro MISSION 1 PRO is an advanced compact camera designed for high-quality action, travel, sports, POV and professional-looking video content. It features a 1" image sensor, next-generation GP3 processor and a fixed F2.8 lens, helping capture sharp, detailed and stable footage in demanding shooting situations. MISSION 1 PRO offers higher video performance than standard action cameras. It records up to 8K60, supports 8K Open Gate 4:3 up to 30 fps, 4K up to 240 fps and 1080p up to 480 fps. This gives creators more freedom for slow motion, cropping and adapting footage for horizontal or vertical formats. The camera includes HyperSmooth stabilization and 360° Horizon Lock, helping keep footage smooth and level during active movement. This is especially useful for sports, motorcycles, bicycles, cars, water activities, travel, running and POV recording. GoPro MISSION 1 PRO also supports HLG HDR, 8-bit and 10-bit color recording, GP-Log2 with LUT, H.265 / HEVC MP4 format and up to 240 Mbps bitrate. These features provide better image quality and more flexibility during post-production. This is not a 360° camera. GoPro MISSION 1 PRO records wide-angle single-lens footage and is designed for classic action, sport, travel and video content creation, not full spherical 360° capture.
