GoPro Mission 1 Pro Review: The Best Action Camera You Can Buy
The GoPro Mission 1 Pro is a high-end action camera featuring an 8K sensor and professional-grade video capabilities. While it offers superior image quality and durability, its high price point makes it a niche product compared to standard action cameras.
Why it matters
It represents a shift in the action camera market toward professional cinema-quality hardware for enthusiasts and pros.
WIRED Large, 1-inch sensor with 8K video. Excellent slow-motion capabilities. Solid low-light performance. USB audio support. Footage has a more cinematic look than other action cameras. Fast charging with better battery life. TIRED Slightly heavier than other cameras. No built-in storage. GoPro shook up the action camera world earlier this year, announcing the Mission 1 series of cameras, offering 8K video and the biggest image sensor you can get in an action camera. The Mission 1 series is now here, and after spending several months shooting with it on bikes, paddleboards, sailboats, zip lines, and more, I can say with confidence that this is the best action camera you can buy.
