Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro use a new 1-inch, 50-megapixel sensor to produce sharp, color-accurate video with strong dynamic range and improved low-light performance. The larger sensor enables 8K capture at up to 60 fps on the Pro model, plus 4:3 open-gate recording up to 8K 30 fps. The Pro lens is sharp with a 156-degree field of view and offers multiple field-of-view modes, including Superview, Wide, and Linear options to control distortion. Both models are waterproof and durable for extreme action. The main tradeoffs are increased size and weight, and a higher price compared with competing action cameras.
"The biggest upgrade with the Mission 1 series is the new 1-inch 50-megapixel sensor that's 13.2 x 8.8mm in size. It's quite a bit wider than the square 1/1.15-inch sensor on DJI's 38MP Osmo Action 6 (though a touch shorter), which means more sensor area for gathering light. The high 50MP resolution allows the Mission 1 Pro to capture 8K video at 60 fps rather than just 4K at 120 fps like the Action 6."
"Even if you're only releasing footage in 4K, the extra resolution lets you reframe shots or export them at a full resolution for vertical platforms like TikTok. The new sensor also supports 4:3 open gate capture at up to 8K 30 fps (7,680 x 5,760 pixels), again beating all other action cams and many mirrorless ones as well. The Mission 1 Pro's lens is sharp and has a 156 degree field of view that's wider than most action cams."
"When filming you can choose a 16mm "Superview" that's ultra wide but quite distorted, 16-24mm Wide view that reduces distortion and a 22-27mm Linear mode that eliminates any warping. There are also three models. The Mission 1 Pro model can shoot 8K at u"
"However, there are some tradeoffs with a large sensor. The biggest is size and weight as the Mission 1 Pro is thicker and heavier than the GoPro Hero 13. It's also $270 more than that model and its competition. After testing the Mission 1 Pro, though, I believe that the higher quality will easily be worth the extra cash for certain action shooters."
