GoPro Mission 1 camera and ILS launch

Overview

In late July 2026, GoPro announced the Mission 1 line, featuring the Mission 1 PRO camera and a Creator Edition kit. The kit, priced at $1,099.99 in the US (with a $1,199.99 Ultimate Creator Edition including a Fluid Pro AI gimbal and Light Mod 2), bundles the camera with a Volta 2 grip, battery, wireless microphone, Media Mod, and magnetic latch mount. The launch included a firmware update to improve image quality, heat management, and low-light performance. Technical specifications for the Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro include a 1-inch 50 MP sensor, GP3 processor, 159° field of view, and 14 stops of dynamic range. Video capabilities range up to 8K60 and 4K240 on the Pro model. Following the launch, GoPro introduced price cuts, reducing the standard Mission 1 to $499 and the Mission 1 Pro to $599, with discounted bundles available through retailers like Amazon and B&H. Expanding the lineup, GoPro announced the Mission 1 Pro ILS, its first interchangeable-lens camera in 24 years. Utilizing a Micro Four Thirds (MFT) mount, the device requires manual focus and aperture for MFT lenses because the mount lacks electronic contacts. The ILS supports 8K60, 4K240, and 1440p480 video, with 1080p slow motion at 960 fps. It also features HyperSmooth stabilization and a four-microphone array with 32-bit float audio. Pre-orders for the ILS are set at $699.99, or $599.99 for subscribers, with retail availability starting September 2. Alongside the camera, GoPro will launch the Mission Monitor app for iOS and iPadOS on September 2 to provide external monitoring features like focus peaking and real-time LUT previews. Further details on the Mission 1 Pro ILS describe it as a compact 197-gram cinema camera designed for filmmakers.
