I tested GoPro’s first interchangeable lens camera — the Mission 1 ILS is a thrilling oddity that demands real craft
The Mission 1 Pro ILS is a fascinating first step into interchangeable lenses for GoPro, pairing its excellent 1-inch sensor with Micro Four Thirds flexibility. Manual focus is a real hurdle, and losing waterproofing, autofocus and subject tracking are tough trade-offs for a brand whose whole ethos is built on point-and-shoot ruggedness. But for cinematographers willing to put in the work, the image quality and flexibility make it a compelling — if niche — creative tool.
Pros
- +Excellent image quality from a 1-inch 4:3 sensor
- +Wide compatibility with MFT lenses opens up creative flexibility
- +Far closer minimum focus distance than the standard Mission 1 Pro
Cons
- -Loses the Mission 1 Pro's 20m waterproofing
- -Manual focus is a challenge, especially on the small screens
- -Quik app leans hard into GoPro's subscription push
