“We've got exciting new products coming in different categories that are not even Mission.” The Mission 1 is the most exciting GoPro in years, but the action cam giant isn’t done yet
In an interview, a GoPro exec reveals that the Mission 1 series isn't the only exciting new product coming
GoPro, the action camera brand, has introduced the Mission 1 series, a new line of cinema-action cameras with the first mirrorless GoPro. This shift to the Mission 1 series is a pivotal move for GoPro, which is currently facing significant financial difficulties and is searching for a potential buyer amidst a decline in sales. Despite these challenges, GoPro remains committed to innovation, as stated by senior vice president of product management Pablo Lema.
The Mission 1 series includes the Mission 1, Mission 1 Pro, and Mission 1 Pro ILS. This series boasts a larger one-inch sensor, 8K resolution, and the capability to capture slow-motion footage at 960 frames per second. Notably, the Mission 1 Pro ILS is a mirrorless camera that replaces GoPro's usual ultra-wide lens with a Micro Four Thirds mount.
Lema emphasized that GoPro is listening to its user base and is working on new products in different categories. He hinted at more exciting products to come, expressing optimism about the future of GoPro. The company is also exploring the possibility of a merger or acquisition, which Lema believes could help stabilize the company's financial situation.
