What do critics say about the GoPro Mission 1 Pro?

Tom's Guide90

A long-awaited bold step for GoPro with excellent video and audio and pro-level versatility; pricey but worth it for professionals.

Hands-on review · 2026 · Read
TechRadar90

A fantastic flagship action camera that doubles as a vacation camera with the grip, held back by mediocre stills, high price and limited lens options.

Hands-on review · 2026 · Read
Engadget87

Delivers the best video of any action camera, with great low light and stabilisation, but it is heavier and notably pricier than rivals.

Trusted Reviews80

Best-looking GoPro footage yet thanks to a 1-inch sensor and strong low-light results, but a 60cm minimum focus, weak stills, paywalled app features and high price limit it.
