GoPro MISSION 1

GoPro MISSION 1 compact 8K creative camera

The GoPro MISSION 1 is a compact creative camera system for creators who want professional image quality in a rugged, portable GoPro format. Built around a large 1-inch sensor and powered by GoPro’s next-generation GP3 processor, MISSION 1 is designed to capture more light, more detail and cleaner images in challenging conditions, including low light, indoor scenes, dusk and night shooting.

With video capture up to 8K30, 50MP photos, award-winning HyperSmooth video stabilisation and a waterproof body rated to 20 m, MISSION 1 is made for travel, action, underwater filming, vlogging, sport, cinematic everyday content and creator workflows that need more flexibility than a standard action camera.

High-resolution 8K video and 50MP photo capture

The MISSION 1 captures video up to 8K30/25, 4K120/100 and 1080p240/200, giving you high-resolution footage and slow-motion options in one compact camera. It supports 16:9, 9:16 and 4:3 aspect ratios, making it useful for widescreen edits, vertical social content and flexible reframing in post-production. 4K120 gives you 4x slow motion, while 1080p240 supports up to 8x slow motion playback.

For stills, MISSION 1 captures up to 50MP photos and also supports RAW photo capture. You can grab up to 33MP frame grabs from 16:9 8K video using the GoPro Quik app, helping you pull high-resolution stills from important video moments without switching capture modes during the action.

1-inch sensor, GP3 processor and advanced image tuning

The 1-inch sensor is larger than the sensors found in many mobile phones and compact cameras, helping MISSION 1 capture more light with less noise. Combined with the GP3 processor, this supports advanced low-light performance, improved detail and more reliable image quality across changing environments.

Enhanced image tuning and capture modes help adjust for motion, lighting, underwater scenes and people in the frame. Modes such as Sport POV, Low Light, Dive, Vlog, Subject Tracking, Night Effects and Endurance help simplify setup while still giving advanced users access to manual controls, Protune settings, 10-bit colour, GP-Log2 and high-bitrate recording up to 240Mbps.

Stabilisation, horizon lock and waterproof durability

MISSION 1 includes HyperSmooth video stabilisation with AutoBoost, helping footage stay smooth when you are moving through rough terrain or filming handheld action. Built-in Horizon Lock helps keep footage level even if the camera rotates during recording, giving your videos a more polished and stable look.

The rugged body is waterproof to 20 m without a protective housing, making it suitable for underwater adventures, rain, snow, mud and demanding outdoor environments. The included removable lens hood helps reduce glare and lens flare in harsh light, while the camera’s mounting options give you flexibility across GoPro mounts, 1/4-20 tripod accessories and Magnetic Latch Mount-compatible setups.

Pro-level audio and creator connectivity

The MISSION 1 uses a 4-microphone array for improved stereo recording and wind noise reduction. It also supports 32-bit float audio recording to a separate WAV file, giving creators more flexibility in post-production and helping reduce the risk of clipped audio in loud or unpredictable environments.

Bluetooth 5.3 audio lets you connect compatible wireless microphones and earbuds, while USB-C audio support allows plug-and-play use with compatible external USB-C microphones. The camera also supports Wi-Fi 6 for faster transfer, GPS for telemetry overlays, live streaming, cloud upload and editing through the GoPro Quik app.
