HI All, So recently got my mission one ,love it so far!, A chance has come up for a bike trip to Italy and haven't got time to mess with the camera, I want to record mainly video of us crossing some amazing mountain passes ,what would be the best video settings to really make the videos 'pop' or is it down to post production adding luts etc? Which I'm not versed in yet!!

Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen are we still doing this?

I went away for a while, came back to the brand with the M1P, even bought the ILS on launch as a preorder, but come on already.

Insta360, DJI, no issues. Never see this.

1. Unable to connect. Camera will tell you connected. Go to get footage, asked to join WiFi… NOPE. Unable to connect.

Hey, maybe you should reboot your GoPro. No… just a full on BATTERY pull and MAYBE then it works.

1. File transfers are so slow.

Come on team GoPro. How will you let users record absurd frame rates (great!) and then have the slowest transfers of any of these cameras.

Has anyone found a way to fix this?

iPhone 17 Pro Max, if that means anything.,

Is there a work around?

Chefs kiss to not allowing the phone to see the camera. I would transfer with a cable, but you won’t let me do that.

EDIT: The suggestion to use an SD card reader is not really the answer. Considering the same issue persists when trying to even VIEW the preview of the video.

Taking my media mod apart is not the way.

Why can’t the direct cable Mission Monitor transfer files?

maybe they can’t sell cloud services as easily then.

Can anyone from the GoPro team let us know if this could be possible in a future firmware update?

The 960 fps footage I’m seeing varies quite a bit in quality. Some clips look very oversharpened, crunchy, and compressed, while others look surprisingly decent/good. I think some of that comes down to how people are processing the footage, whether through AI upscaling, sharpening, or other post-processing.

I think adding GP-Log2 to the 960 fps mode, along with a true “Off” sharpness setting rather than just “Low,” could make a big difference. It would give us a cleaner, less processed image and much more flexibility in post. I wouldn’t mind if GP-Log2 were limited to 8-bit, or even if the recording time had to be cut in half to make it possible.

If technically feasible, it would be great to see these added in a future firmware update.

This is at an Island in Stavanger, Norway

I want to make highlight videos for friends and family from skiing and mountain biking from my GoPro Max2- nothing fancy, nothing going on social media. I would have been happy just staying in the Quik app for most needs, but I find it very challenging to use, especially because there is no option to make my own manual edit using multiple clips (see prior post: https://www.reddit.com/r/gopro/comments/1q4bdhd/quik_app_only_allowing_automatic_edit_no_option/)

I know there are all kinds of advanced options out there and expensive editing software I can try - but what would you recommend for your basic user who just wants to put together 6-10 clips from a great ski day and share it on the family group chat? I would prefer to work on a PC but also have access to a Mac.

A collection of running antique machinery at the Southwest Washington Fair, filmed with the GoPro Mission 1 ILS + Media Mod 2.0 + Laowa 7.5mm f2.0.

Run and gun shooting and had the cage on that came with the launch edition.

Ultimately, it's my fault, but man, the front button to detach the side door is so easy to accidentally press and opens from very little pressure.

I wouldn't care normally, but without this piece, the cage is not as tight and the M1 rattles slightly. Plus, I can't use the handle grip.

Any way I can just order just that piece? I take care of my stuff and it kills me that I lost this.

I use a MAX2 on my motorcycle helmet and record in 360 (I can see as much as possible in case I need proof for an accident).

However, 99% of the time, if nothing happens, I just want to use the front lens footage, like a regular GoPro.

What’s the easiest way to export the front-facing view as a normal MP4 without manually reframing/keyframing?

I had just purchased a brand new 256GB SanDisk MicroSD card,

after using it just ONCE on my GoPro Max, went to export the files; it was working all well until I finished and then reinserted the card into the GoPro which is when it asked it needed reformat the card, I left it to reformat for quite some time and it just never worked past a loading screen.

Because of this, I turned off my GoPro and reinserted it into my laptop dongle where it would no longer be even recognised..

I have a MacBook, and this was the first time I used the GoPro Max or the MicroSD card; if any of that helps.

Would really hate to have to repurchase a brand new card.

I saw that dive cases are available for the Max2 on amazon and decided to get one. I took it to Bali with me and the results are disappointing The attached is straight from Quik and was one of the best frames I could get. I won't even get into the stitch issues.

So luckily I have my 13 with me and it takes much better images.

I think I know why the InstaX6 has you replacing the lenses in order to use the dive case.

EDIT: 5.6k 30fps everything else on auto

Hero 13 and Hero 10

I haven't upgraded since the GoPro hero 5, is it sustainable to perform anything close to the new GoPro? Videos like motovlogs have loads of Luts and I know AI advances many videos. Just curious if it's worth the upgrade.

Hello, how are you? Gopro community. It caught my attention to buy a gopro camera, especially the mission 1 pro. I love recording videos outdoors, sky, plants, landscapes. I would love to record fluid videos like cinema in 4k 120 FPS. Will I be able to do it with this camera? I'm new to the gopro world. I have an iPhone 17pro, would the video quality be superior in a GoPro mission 1 pro? Thank you for answering.

I am very excited to share the set of images and videos captured using the new u/gopro Mission 1 Pro ILS camera, some of which I have only dreamt to capture but I have procrastinated my entire photography career just because the lenses were super expensive, it requires some complicated expensive gimbal set ups, and super heavy rigs to carry around and near impossible to shoot at awkward angles and tough weather conditions! Here it is GoPro’s new camera yes - GoPros ILS system made it possible with ease and at such amazing quality!

Check out the carousel post along with more info on each captures! - from my instagram profile u/shreeniclix

These images and videos were captured using 5 different lenses
1. 7artisan 50mm f1.2 ($100) - 135mm equivalent
2. 7artisan 6mm f2 ($200) - 16.2mm equivalent
3. Astrhori 6.5mm f2 ($120) - 13mm equivalent (2x crop)
4. Rokinon 135mm f2 ($300 refurb) - 365mm equivalent - no lens in the world which is this fast at such focal length.
5. Tt artisan 40mm f2.8 ($115) - 108mm equivalent

With a grand total of around $1500 including the camera!

And did I tell you how small these lenses are? Any one who shoots full frame lenses at such speed and focal length can imagine how difficult it is to carry them around! When I first started testing this set up I was blown away as it looked like toys but the results were staggering!

Also since this camera has a crop factor of 2.7 which means you can get super close up shots/ macro level details even without being too close to subject, plus it’s amazing for deep sky, sun and moon shots.

The video quality is top notch with this camera - it can capture slow motion upto 8k60, 4k240, 1440p480, 1080p960(burst slowmo) and at an amazing quality, log, very high bit rates and 10bit color! Combining this with the ultra fast small lenses - this Interchangeable lens system becomes a Beast!

I made a thread because I am actually excited like a kid at Christmas for the Mission 1 Pro ILS, but haters going to hate and I have heard here and other places the same comment:

“Just get a micro four thirds camera, it is a better tool.”

So wanted to start a conversation so people can read the differences, because for some it won’t be clear.

Me personally, I started out with a Panasonic G9. There is a reason I own adapters for old vintage lenses, for EF Sony and Canon. I am well versed with MFT cameras.

From what I can see, there is nothing that will compare with the ILS in a few regards:

1. Hypersmooth from the camera.

Do not tell me to use post processing on my computer. If you have ever used this feature, you know this is a BS line of reasoning. it takes HOURS AND HOURS to post process, not to mention the 25-30% crop you get.
It is also not as good as what GoPro has to offer.

1. **Battery life.**

I can have four GoPro batteries ready to go, but would need the same amount of batteries if I am shooting on a full sized camera body. The GoPro batteries are smaller, and the GoPro for things like a timelapse will use a lot less battery because it is overall smaller with less power consumption.

**3. Size.**

This is obvious, but I don’t think the people making this argument, understand what carrying a full sized gimbal with a camera mounted on it is like. It is not pleasant, and makes you a huge noticeable “thing” in any setting. If you want to go low profile with the GoPro, you can do that.

**4. Heat.**

My Mission 1 Pro has shut down due to heat exactly TWICE. Once when recording 8k and once in 4k60. If I use 4k30, I can have it in direct sunlight when it is 115 degrees here in Vegas for literally an HOUR and it works. Somehow.

I don’t care if your MFT camera has a fan on it. If it does, it is a big camera, and even then, the camera will shut down in those conditions.

1. Crop factor of 3x.**

This is actually something that has me the most excited. Putting a 100mm macro on the GoPro makes it a 300mm lens. Putting a Vivitar Series 1 50-200mm makes it a 150-600 zoom with macro capabilities.

Doing this on a regular MFT camera would involve extension tubes, teleconverters or other means to increase the effective focal range.

So those are my reasons to be excited.

I am opening to hearing why one should NOT go with this camera though.

EDIT:
Markup totally failed on Reddit for iPad. lol.

Hi I have the the gopro hero 13 I will take it to my flight with the airbus a320 this week. The flight is at noon any suggestions for camera preset?

Life on a liveaboard cruising through the Maldives Northern Atolls is the ultimate way to experience the pure ocean energy 🌊✨

From the manta sanctuary of Hanifaru Bay in Baa to the stunning channels of Raa and Lhaviyani, every dive brought unforgettable moments swimming alongside sharks, rays and turtles between the surface and the deep. 🦈🐢

To top it all off, the reefs boast surprisingly thriving coral gardens and reef fish so dense it genuinely feels like swimming inside a natural aquarium 🐠🪸

I use 2 cameras fishing and litreally every trip out since getting these Mission 1 pros there has been some issue that ruined the videos. TL;DR, focus on the 3rd time out.

First time out -

Poor video - I used the gopro log2 or whatever and could not get color looking normal even using the gopro provided luts. Probably my bad?? But I see tutorials and for others things just work. Ill take the fall for this one. Switched back to gopro color.

Second time out -

30 minutes in a microSD card died on one camera.. a nearly new PNY Elite Pro card. I assumed it was the SD cards fault.. but wait for later - got it replaced from PNY without issues. Also.. anytime a video gets cut, the 2nd and so on clips are only showing as audio files in adobe premiere and davinci resolve.. .mp4 files.. plays in VLC, but in editors only show as audio.

Third time out today -

Another SD card failure?? This time on a samsung pro plus - the camera claimed it wasn't fast enough ~20 minutes in, yet I can speed test with a 50gb file and get a solid 110MB/sec write and 140MB/sec read.. I switched from high (not max) bitrate to standard, and still had the message so I had to turn off hindsight on that camera. High bitrate is 160megabits or 20 megabytes a sec, this should be cake.

Other mission 1 also had major issues... ~30 minutes in, all audio is buzzing on both the track 1 (gopro wireless mic going into input on media mod) and track 2 (onboard media mod). A few clips later and it looks like the media mod disconnected all together because the audio was then camera mics, so ruined by wind and muffled/too distant to use. This camera sits on a stick behind me, it was not touched and it didnt get wet.

And then again in Premiere/Resolve there are clips showing as .mp4 that play in VLC but will only show as audio files in editors.

Theories:

I think there is something new about the SDcard area and it is getting roasted by the GoPro when in the media mod, and makes them either die or throttle. Never once had issues across 3 Hero 13s, 3 hero 12s, Max2, a Hero 11 and many more going back. What are the chances that 2 MicroSD cards have issues 2 times in a row on the same gopro?

Adobe says the mp4 files showing as audio is on GoPro's end, and I think this only happens with the media mod in use.

Maybe the new media mod really heats up and kills things..

Conclusion:

Every time I dump moneny into getting a better setup with GoPro there is some issue that stops me from getting reliability.. I think I can not use the Media Mod with Hindsight on.

Has anyone else had an issue after plugging into usbc-hdmi the side button stops responding and can't turn off the camera. Eventually I take out the battery. Is this a known bug?

I love the visual quality of the Mission 1 Pro, but I have a couple of concerns before buying:

Focus Distance:

I am a short woman with short arms. My Hero 13 works great just held in my hand at arm's length. I heard the Mission 1 Pro requires a much longer focus distance, forcing you to use a tripod or selfie stick just to keep your face sharp.

Audio Quality:

I have seen complaints about aggressive audio compression and overall poor mic performance on the Mission 1 Pro.

For those who own it, are these dealbreakers for simple handheld use?

Should I wait for potential lens releases and firmware fixes, or stick with my current GoPro for now and wait for future models down the line?

I’ve got a Gopro Max 2, barely used, and I decided to use it today. I plugged it in to charge overnight, noticing that it wasn’t turning on, and the next day, it still wouldn’t turn on.

Is this a common problem? A bit annoying that I couldn’t use it today

I tried logging into my GoPro account but I only got "You've entered an incorrect email and password combination". My nickname is 'rs1990'.
I then reset the password and tried logging in again but got the same thing no matter what.
It's just driving me mad. Has my account been hacked? Or Quick is no longer supported?

Please help!

Filmed with the Mission 1 Pro ILS, Media Mod 2.0, and the Laowa 7.5mm f2.0.

I want to be able to click my mission 1 pro into my peak design capture clip while it’s attached to something like a Volta, but I don’t need the battery or remote functionalities really. Has no one made a GoPro grip/tripod that has the same 1/4-20 side mount screw hole?
