"GoPro MISSION 1," which also comes in a lens-interchangeable version, was a small cinema camera that broadened the possibilities of visual expression: Kei Ogikubo's Digital Camera Review Plus (Page 1/4)

GoPro announced the MISSION 1 series in April and launched it in Japan as a larger, higher-end system than the HERO line.

The camera targets cinematic production, not just action capture, with a 50MP 1-inch sensor, interchangeable lenses, and a more compact pro-style body.

It supports 8K open-gate recording, up to 4K/240fps slow motion, HDR, and 10-bit GP-Log2 for greater creative flexibility.

The launch signals GoPro’s push beyond action cameras into higher-quality video tools for creators and filmmakers.
