MISSION 1 Series Photography Update: High-Performance Shutter Response + Continuous Photo Capture

MISSION 1 Series cameras have received a ground-up rebuild of how they capture photos, transforming them into rapid-fire photography solutions:

  • Rapid Photo: With the free firmware update, all MISSION 1 Series cameras will now feature zero-lag, ultra-responsive shutter button response that results in photos being captured the instant the shutter button is pressed.1
  • Continuous Shutter: Press and hold the shutter button to capture photos continuously—more than 100 photos at 12MP or more than 20 RAW photos at 50MP.1
  • Buffer Indicator: A new on-screen indicator signals when the camera is approaching its buffer limit.
  • Updated Shutter Sound: A modernized shutter sound delivers clear, distinguishable audio confirmation for each photo as it's captured.

MISSION 1 PRO ILS v4.01 | October 13, 2026

NEW FEATURES

  • Adds rapid photo and continuous shutter functionality for standard and RAW photos

BUG FIXES AND USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

  • Improves playback experience in media gallery
  • General bug fixes

To our GoPro community, fans and customers,

We understand there’s some concern about GoPro’s post-merger commitment to continue developing market leading cameras for consumers and professionals. Making amazing cameras for all of you is our core DNA and reason for being and that will never change! We’re fired up about what’s ahead for GoPro and want to share a little more about what our proposed merger with Starman means for our future.

Thanks to the improved financial strength this merger will provide, we’ll be in a much better position to innovate, invent and advance the future of consumer and professional content creation. And importantly, Starman shares our passion for the GoPro brand, developing market leading products and our commitment to your collective stoke.

We’ve accumulated more than 2500 patents over the last 24 years which tells you we’ve been busy innovating, and this merger will ensure we’re able to innovate for many more years to come. We expect this merger will make GoPro a stronger, more capable camera company than ever before.

Our goal is to become a more diversified company which can make us stronger financially, enabling GoPro to become as awesome as we (and you) want us to be. We plan to bring you more innovative cameras, smarter accessories, and more powerful software and services designed to make capturing, editing and sharing your experiences easier and more exciting than ever. We see opportunities to improve the products you already love while developing new tools and experiences that help you create, connect and share in entirely new ways.

PolarPro Mission 1 Close-Up Filter +2 – Quick Test

Hi all!
Here's a quick test of the PolarPro Mission 1 Close-Up Filter +2.
I was behind the GoPro, so the audio isn't great. I'm getting the M1P Media Mod tomorrow, so hopefully that'll give the audio quality a nice boost!

Hope this helps anyone curious about the new filters!

I tried to stream on youtube today and it kept forcing the camera to 16:9 ratio. I want to stream vertical. How can I do this?

Is it possible to separate gopro 11 lens from sensor?

Hello! I’m doing an experiment where I would take the gopro hero 11’ and use it on my m12 25mm telefoto lens. It’s for my closeup paintball shots to see the paint splatter.

I wanted to know if anyone has tried removing the lens and sensor and install ur custom 3d print adapter for m12 sensors?

16mm kinda setup with the ILS

yoo guys, do you think renting a high-end 16mm lens like the Canon 8–64mm T2.4, just to use it with the ILS to recreate the 16mm, is it worth it, or is there anyone who tried something similar with the ILS

PolarPro +2 close-up lens test - Mission1 Pro

I got my set of close-up filters today. The one I was really interested in was the +2 and that one is the only one I have tested so far. I doubt if I will even use the +0.5. The first part of the video is with no close-up lens on and the camera on a tripod about 24 inches (~60cm) from the center of the feeder. Next clip is with the +2 lens on and the camera moved to 12 inches (~30cm) from the center of the feeder. Last clip was shot in 4K240 and zoomed in post 1.5x to see how much detail was retained. Hopefully Reddit won't butcher the upload too badly. Hopefully I'll find something more interesting to shoot tomorrow on our hike. Link to 4K version - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whFazl8g01Y

Do I need this lens?

Post image
2 Upvotes

I ordered the GoPro ILS this week and along with it, I got myself the 7Artisans 25mm, TTartisan 40mm macro and this (10mm 7Artisans) lens.

Considering the crop factor I thought I should get this 10mm lens so I can film myself inside the car or inside my bed room.

But for some reason this product kept getting cancelled over and over again after placing the order and some thing tells me I should maybe steer clear 😅

So my question is, do I really need this 10mm 7Artisans lens? Considering the crop factor of the ILS. If I skip this and stick with the 7Artisans 25mm setup would I still be able to film myself inside a car or my bed room?

Thanks for reading this very confusing post 😂 🙏

USB charging unreliable

5 Upvotes

Hi there,

I tried many cables with my hero 13 and max 2 and found that the cameras won't charge properly with them.

While the same cables work fine charging an iPhone.

Why GoPros are so capricious?


r/gopro • • 1d ago

Are the PolarPro Macro Lenses for Mission One Pro non-ILS the answer to the rumored GoPro Macro Lens Mod like what GoPro released for the Hero 13?

4 Upvotes

I'm seeing that GoPro is selling the PolarPro diopters on their accessories page now. Makes me think we'll never see a macro lens mod directly from GoPro with autodetect the way the ND set GoPro created does.

I built a browser-based tool for turning kart onboard footage into race videos — looking for beta testers!

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’ve been building RaceFX to simplify and speed up the process of creating telemetry-overlay race videos.

Why I built this: As a kart driver, I was tired of the slow, multi-step workflow required just to post a video: extracting footage with the GoPro app, overlaying HUD telemetry with RaceChrono, editing clips in a video editor, and finally uploading to YouTube. My ultimate goal with RaceFX is to handle all of this in a single app, with just one click. What it does currently:

RaceFX processes onboard racing footage directly in your browser. It detects the race/laps from GPS data and can generate: Full Race with HUD (Speed, current lap time, best lap, lap counter) Selected Laps Highlights Theoretical Lap Privacy & Performance: No upload needed: Your video stays on your device — no need to upload multi-GB footage to a server.

Desktop First: This initial version is web-based and optimized for desktop computers, where processing runs up to 4x faster. (An Android APK for mobile devices is currently in development). Looking for Beta Testers: I’m looking for people who record kart sessions with action cameras to test it with real footage.

🔗 Try the beta here: https://racefx-race-fx.vercel.app/

Any feedback on different cameras, browsers, performance, or anything that breaks would be extremely helpful!

I’ve been slowly picking up lenses for my ILS. I picked up a $100 lens on Amazon and shot this.

Video recovery?

How can you recover a video file recorded with a GoPro Hero 8, where the image freezes at a certain point and only the audio continues for the rest of the clip? If it's even possible.

Quik app defaults to slowmo for every video

1 Upvotes

Soooo annoying. Have to constantly uncheck it, and it keeps breaking my edits.

But worst part is when trying to connect to my gopro to download only parts of a video. It's long, but opening it takes 5-6 minutes, and it's slowmo and impossible to view. So I have to press the slowmo button, and wait 5-6 new minutes for it to load. And only then can I cut parts of it...

For the gopro max two can I shoot normal horizontal videos in 8k?

3 Upvotes

I'm looking into getting a new camera and I would like to shoot an eight k for horizontal videos. My dji osmo action adventure 6 supports eight k on horizontal , but I can only film for about half an hour before it overheats. So I'm looking into other options as well.Does the gopro max to allow for normal horizontal videos in eight k

I also , do you guys know what other gopro models support eight k? 4K videos tend to look really bad when I'm editing like they look grainy and not good.Meanwhile, 8K is super crisp. So that's why I prefer to shoot an eight k
