GoPro’s Mission cameras carry cinema-grade prices that outpace casual shooters
TL;DR
GoPro priced the Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro at $599.99 and $699.99 (each with a $100 discount for subscribers) and will offer a free $100 Point-and-Shoot Grip with pre-orders ahead of their May 28 release; the Mission 1 Pro ILS with Micro Four Thirds lens support arrives later in Q3 at $699.99 (or $599.99 for GoPro subscribers). GoPro brands these high-spec, cinema-grade cameras as compact and rugged, but their premium pricing makes them a hard sell for casual weekend shooters who might be better off with discounted Hero models or cheaper rivals like the DJI Osmo Action 6 or Insta360 X5.
