SUMMARY
GoPro has released its first mirrorless camera, the Mission 1 Pro ILS, which merges GoPro's signature compact design and HyperSmooth stabilization with a Micro Four Thirds lens mount. Despite its 8K video capabilities and affordable price, the camera features manual focus only due to a lack of electronic lens communication, limiting compatibility with many modern lenses. The small form factor also presents challenges with heavier lenses, potentially requiring external support, and the camera is primarily geared towards video rather than stills.
