GoPro MISSION 1 PRO Compact Cinema Camera In More Detail
50MP One-Inch Sensor
The camera uses a one-inch sensor with a 50 megapixel resolution, combining 1.6µm native pixels with larger fused pixels in Quad Bayer mode. This increases light capture while maintaining detail across the frame, with support for up to 14 stops of dynamic range.
GP3 Processor
The GP3 processor is built on a 5nm architecture and includes an integrated neural processor for image processing. This supports video encoding, noise reduction and tonal balance while maintaining power efficiency during extended recording.
8K Video Capture
The MISSION 1 PRO records 8K video at up to 60 frames per second in a 16:9 format. It also supports 4K at up to 240 frames per second and Full HD at higher frame rates for slow motion capture.
High Frame Rate Recording
High-speed recording includes up to 240fps at 4K and up to 960fps in 1080p burst capture, with standard high frame rate recording available at up to 480fps in 1080p.
Open Gate Video Recording
Open Gate recording uses the full sensor area in a 4:3 format, supporting 8K30 and 4K120 capture for flexible reframing across multiple aspect ratios.
Colour and Bitrate Control
The camera supports 10-bit colour recording with GP-Log2 and HLG HDR profiles. Bitrates can reach up to 240Mbps, with timecode sync available for multi-camera workflows.
Audio Capture
Audio is recorded through a four-microphone array designed to capture stereo sound while reducing wind interference. The system supports 32-bit float recording, with Bluetooth connectivity for wireless audio input.
Capture Modes
The camera includes multiple capture modes tailored to different scenarios, including:
- Video
- Low Light
- Slo-Mo
- HLG HDR
- Subject Tracking
- Looping
- Endurance.
Each mode adjusts processing and exposure settings to suit specific shooting conditions.
Time Lapse Modes
Time lapse options include standard and night time lapse, along with creative modes such as star trails, light painting and vehicle light trails. These are designed for both static and motion-based capture.
Battery and Thermal Performance
The GP3 processor and updated battery system support extended recording times, with over five hours at 1080p30 and more than three hours at 4K30.
Waterproof Design
The camera is waterproof to 20 metres without requiring additional housing. A separate housing extends this depth further for specialised use.
Body Design
The camera uses a compact rectangular body with an integrated ultra-wide lens positioned within a squared front housing. A removable lens hood surrounds the front element, providing protection and helping reduce glare.
The outer shell features a textured finish with visible water beading, and the rounded edges maintain a low-profile shape for handheld use. A front-facing display sits alongside the lens for framing and status monitoring.
Connectivity
The camera supports Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for wireless control and data transfer. It connects to the GoPro Quik app for remote operation, media management and cloud backup.
Controls and Display
A top-mounted shutter button provides direct access during handheld shooting, with a raised side power and mode button for simple operation. The rear OLED display is larger than previous models, supporting clear monitoring and playback.
