GoPro has announced its new MISSION 1 Series of 8K and 4K Open Gate cinema cameras.
The new cameras feature a 50MP 1-inch/2.5cm sensor and the company’s new GP3 processor.
The new series is comprised of three camera models (all of which have a dive mode):
- MISSION 1 PRO
- MISSION 1
- MISSION 1 PRO ILS
The PRO ILS features an interchangeable Micro Four Thirds lens system compatible with an even broader array of lenses via adapters.
GoPro Founder and CEO Nicholas Woodman said:
“The MISSION 1 Series is the pinnacle of performance for low-cost, compact cinema cameras. Our most demanding, pro-minded customers have asked us for years to make this very line of cameras, and we’ve finally delivered. The MISSION 1 Series is designed to go to hell and back, and that’s exactly where our customers are going to take them. The footage is going to look amazing.”
While GoPro’s Senior Vice President of Product Pablo Lema added:
“With the launch of the MISSION 1 Series, GoPro is entering the premium end of the digital imaging market in a significant way. The combination of our new 50 megapixel 1” sensor and ultra-efficient GP3 processor sets a new performance bar for compact cinema cameras, enabling resolutions, frame rates, low-light performance, runtimes and thermal capabilities never seen before in cameras this small. We expect the MISSION 1 Series to expand the creative potential of filmmakers and creators around the world, similar to the impact GoPro made when it pioneered the category for durable, ultra-capable compact cameras.”
The MISSION Series and pricing for the new products will be unveiled at GoPro’s booth at the NAB trade show, from April 19-22, 2026.
