GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS hands-on review: GoPro's first mirrorless is an affordable 8K powerhouse, but it's not for everyone
The GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS is one of the cheapest 8K-capable mirrorless cameras, but GoPro made some sacrifices to get there
GoPro has launched its first mirrorless camera, the Mission 1 Pro ILS, priced at $699, making it one of the cheapest 8K mirrorless cameras available. The ILS features the same body design, handling, 8K60 sensor, and GP3 processor as the fixed-lens Mission 1 Pro. The camera retains GoPro's signature features such as HyperSmooth and a familiar double-screen design.
However, to achieve such a small size, the ILS sacrifices some features, making it a niche shooter. The camera comes with a Micro Four Thirds mount instead of the traditional lens, and users need to budget for a compatible lens. Although the ILS supports up to 8K60p, users should be cautious about the weight of the lens, as lenses over 250g require an external support system.
The ILS's small size and unique lens mount also make it incompatible with GoPro's waterproofing features.
