GoPro's New Cameras Have One Feature I'm So Excited About
GoPro unveiled its Mission 1 series today, a trio of video-centric action cameras featuring a 1-inch 50MP sensor and GP3 processor, including base, Pro, and interchangeable-lens Pro ILS models.
Facing stiff competition from DJI and Insta360, GoPro recently laid off approximately 145 employees, around 23 percent of its workforce, following a $9 million loss in Q4 2025.
Technical improvements include 8K video recording at up to 60 frames per second, waterproofing up to 66 feet, and a new Enduro 2 battery promising more than 3 hours of record time at 4K resolution.
Consumers can preorder the Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro starting May 21, with global availability on May 28, while the flagship Mission 1 Pro ILS is expected in Q3 2026.
Targeting professional creators, the Mission 1 Pro ILS features a Micro Four Thirds interchangeable lens mount, distinguishing it as a weatherproof cinema-focused device rather than a traditional waterproof action camera.
