GoPro Mission 1

Die GoPro Mission 1 sieht wie eine typische Action-Cam des Marktführers aus, übertrifft die Hero 13 aber in fast allen Aspekten: In der Bildqualität macht sie einen gewaltigen Schritt nach vorn, zusammen mit ihren zahllosen Videomodi und Ausgabeformaten ist sie dadurch besser in professionellen Umfeldern einsetzbar. Gleichzeitig hat GoPro die Bedienung vereinfacht, so dass auch Nicht-Profis schnell zu vorzeigbaren Ergebnissen kommen. Die Fortschritte bei der Klangqualität sind eher klein, interessanter sind verbesserte Wasserdichtigkeit und Displays. Und vor allem hält der Akku nun endlich länger durch - und zwar sehr viel länger. Billig ist der Spaß jetzt erst recht nicht mehr, immerhin lässt sich vorhandenes Zubehör weiter nutzen.

The GoPro Mission 1 Pro's footage is the best-looking I've ever captured on a GoPro. Its 1-inch sensor, 8K Open Gate capture and superb low-light performance push it into new territory for the brand; shot in GP-Log2 with a bit of grading, the results can look truly cinematic. But it's not quite the complete package.

As someone who loves immersive action video (especially mountain biking), I'm a big fan of high-quality action cams. Thanks to its larger sensor, higher resolution and incredible frame rates, the Mission 1 is now the best you can get in this regard, handily outperforming the rival DJI Osmo Action 6. However, the GoPro Mission 1 lineup is expensive, starting at $599 for the Mission 1 and $699 for the Mission 1 Pro (GoPro gives you $100 off all the new cameras if you have a $60 per year GoPro subscription). Considering that it doesn't have internal memory, that price is a bit high compared to the $426 Osmo Action 6, which has a smaller sensor but 50GB of storage. For some creators, the extra quality will be worth it to help make their videos stand out. If budget is a factor, though, it's a much tougher sell.

The ILS is GoPro's most interesting camera to date. It comes at a time when the company's future seems more precarious than ever. If the ILS came out 2-3 years ago, this might be a different conversation. Not because it will save the company, but because it shows GoPro is capable of trying new, risky things. The Hero line served GoPro well for over a decade, but today's creator wants and needs different tools. The ILS offers a lot of those, and with a few refinements, the ILS series could grow into something genuinely category-defining.For now, the ILS is a camera with great potential and a learning curve. It's asking GoPro fans to study up and for experienced filmmakers to make sacrifices. There's no doubt a group right in the middle can live with its peculiarities and even flourish with them. Whether that's enough to inspire a Mission 2 Pro ILS, or similar diverse products, we'll have to wait and see.

GoPro's first interchangeable-lens camera marries a Micro Four Thirds mount with the company's best ever sensor. For anyone patient enough to master manual focus, the results can be something special. Waterproofing, autofocus and subject tracking are all casualties of that flexibility, so this isn't a like-for-like upgrade on the standard Mission 1 Pro – it's a different tool for a different kind of shooter. If you can live with that shift in focus (no pun intended), there's a huge amount to like here.
