SUMMARY
GoPro's first mirrorless camera, the Mission 1 Pro ILS, is designed to be extremely compact, resembling an action camera more than a traditional mirrorless. While its small size offers flexibility for tight shots and small rigs, it comes with limitations. The camera uses a Micro Four Thirds mount but lacks electronic communication with lenses, excluding focus-by-wire optics from brands like OM System and Panasonic. Additionally, GoPro recommends using a lens support system for any Micro Four Thirds lenses weighing over 250g, which can increase the overall setup size and cost.
TAKEAWAYS
GoPro's Mission 1 Pro ILS is a very small mirrorless camera with a Micro Four Thirds mount.
It does not support electronically controlled 'focus by wire' lenses due to a lack of electronic communication.
Lenses heavier than 250g require an additional lens support system, increasing setup size and cost.
Users must manually select the lens in the camera menu for features like HyperSmooth to function correctly.
