We heard all about GoPro's new action camera series https://www.engadget.com/cameras/gopros-mission-1-offers-8k-60p-video-and-interchangeable-lenses-130018643.html">last week, but the company is now unveiling the pricing across its Mission 1, Mission 1 Pro and Mission 1 Pro ILS cameras.
The entry-level Mission 1 ($600) features GoPro's new 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor, which the company says will offer a major leap in image quality and low-light performance over the Hero 13 line.
While largely looking the same as the Hero series (and still waterproof), the Mission 1 can record 8K video at 30fps and 4K at 120fps.
It lacks the higher frame rates of the other Mission 1 cameras, but supports 10-bit GP-Log2 color and 32-bit float audio.
The Mission 1 Pro ($700) is the flagship fixed-lens model this year, aimed at the professional (or semi-pro) videographer.
It has upgraded frame-rate capture to 8K at 60 fps and 4K at 240 fps, along with an extreme "burst" slow-motion mode that hits 960 fps at 1080p.
It also captures 4:3 "Open Gate" recordings at 8K/30fps and 4K/120fps, covering the entire sensor area, enabling more versatile editing and cropping across different screen sizes, including vertical video.
Then there's the beastly Mission 1 Pro ILS (Interchangeable Lens System).
It swaps the standard GoPro lens for a Micro Four Thirds (https://www.engadget.com/2019-04-15-micro-four-thirds-future-interview.html">MFT) mount lens.
It otherwise shares the same 1-inch sensor and high-speed 8K/60fps video specs as the Pro model.
It also matches the Pro model's $700 price, with an additional $100 discount for GoPro subscribers.
However, it won't be launching until Q3 2026.
All of the Mission 1 Series accessories will be available on a rolling basis beginning May 28, with GoPro's own wireless mic system (take note, Rode and DJI) priced at $160.
If you preorder a Mission 1 or Mission 1 Pro directly from GoPro now, you'll get the point-and-shoot grip bundled for free.
The company still doesn't have an official release date for the cameras.
