SUMMARY

GoPro's new Mission 1 Pro ILS mirrorless camera features a Micro Four Thirds mount but has strict lens compatibility rules. It only supports manual focus lenses and excludes focus-by-wire options, meaning autofocus lenses are unusable. Lenses exceeding 250g require an external support system, and GoPro recommends using lenses from their official compatibility list for optimal HyperSmooth stabilization. Testing has primarily focused on lenses 50mm and under, with telephoto performance potentially varying.
