A GoPro First: Mission 1 Pro ILS Comes With Interchangeable Lenses
Although GoPro has been known primarily for its classic action cameras for many years, it has taken a completely different direction with the Mission 1 Pro ILS. Priced at $699, the new camera is the first model in GoPro’s history to support interchangeable lenses. The camera uses the Micro Four Thirds (MFT) system and can work with more than 300 compatible lenses. The Mission 1 Pro ILS’s main technical capabilities are largely the same as those of the standard Mission 1 Pro. The camera features a 1-inch sensor, 8K/60 FPS video recording, Open Gate recording in 4K, and a 960 FPS high-speed recording mode for 10 seconds. A 2.59-inch OLED screen is located on the back, while power is supplied by a 2,150 mAh Enduro 2 battery.
The main difference in the new model is the Micro Four Thirds lens mount on the front. This allows users to use wide-angle, portrait, and other lenses depending on the type of shooting. However, there are certain limitations. The Mission 1 Pro ILS does not have an autofocus system, and there is no electronic communication between the lens and the camera. As a result, some lenses that use focus-by-wire technology may not work fully. In practice, mechanical manual-focus lenses are considered better suited to the camera. To make manual focusing easier, GoPro provides Focus Peaking, as well as features that magnify the image by 4 and 8 times to check focus. A larger view can be obtained on a smartphone screen through the Quik app. The Mission Monitor app turns the phone into an external monitor for the camera and provides additional tools such as Zebra for checking exposure.
Another notable feature of the camera is its 2.7x crop factor. For example, a 7.5 mm MFT lens provides a field of view equivalent to approximately 20 mm on the Mission 1 Pro ILS. A 25 mm lens becomes the equivalent of approximately 70 mm. The crop factor therefore needs to be considered when choosing a lens. One of the main advantages of the Mission 1 Pro ILS is its image quality. Using different MFT lenses makes it possible to achieve a more cinematic image and shallower depth of field than with classic GoPro cameras. The camera supports recording at the maximum bitrate and in 10-bit GP-Log 2 mode. Familiar GoPro features such as Hyperlapse and high-speed recording have also been retained. The camera is also an interesting option for photography. Its 50-megapixel sensor, compact body, and broad MFT lens ecosystem allow the Mission 1 Pro ILS to be used for product and other types of photography as well. However, the new model may not be entirely suitable for the typical GoPro user. The camera is not water-resistant, has no autofocus, and manual focusing may complicate the shooting process. Keeping oneself in focus, especially when recording vlogs, requires additional time and experience. Battery life also decreases when using a high bitrate, GP-Log 2, high FPS, and a phone as a monitor. During testing, approximately two hours of operation was achieved under intensive use.
