“Mission 1 has been a long time coming” –GoPro says the new Mission 1 is the camera that fans have been asking for since this iconic Hero
In this exclusive interview, GoPro's Pablo Lema says that the Mission 1 Pro is the camera that fans have been asking for since 2018
GoPro's latest launch, the Mission 1 series, represents a significant leap in camera technology since the introduction of HyperSmooth stabilization algorithm. GoPro senior vice president of product management, Pablo Lema, stated that the Mission 1 series is the most important camera they have launched since the Hero7 Black in 2018.
Fans have been asking for a camera with a larger sensor for years, and the Mission 1 series delivers with an 8K-capable 1-inch sensor. The series is being marketed as a "compact cinema camera," catering to creators who require high dynamic range, fast frame rates, and excellent low light capabilities. GoPro's accessories, including the new point-and-shoot grip and wireless microphone, have also been well received.
The launch of the Mission 1 series comes at a crucial time for GoPro, as the company faces significant financial struggles, with a 38% drop in camera sales and potential bankruptcy proceedings. Despite these challenges, the Mission 1 has already begun shipping, and the company's CEO, Nicholas Woodman, is optimistic about the future of the brand.
