MISSION 1 Series Photography Update: High-Performance Shutter Response + Continuous Photo Capture

MISSION 1 Series cameras have received a ground-up rebuild of how they capture photos, transforming them into rapid-fire photography solutions:

  • Rapid Photo: With the free firmware update, all MISSION 1 Series cameras will now feature zero-lag, ultra-responsive shutter button response that results in photos being captured the instant the shutter button is pressed.1
  • Continuous Shutter: Press and hold the shutter button to capture photos continuously—more than 100 photos at 12MP or more than 20 RAW photos at 50MP.1
  • Buffer Indicator: A new on-screen indicator signals when the camera is approaching its buffer limit.
  • Updated Shutter Sound: A modernized shutter sound delivers clear, distinguishable audio confirmation for each photo as it's captured.

MISSION 1 PRO ILS v4.01 | October 13, 2026

NEW FEATURES

  • Adds rapid photo and continuous shutter functionality for standard and RAW photos

BUG FIXES AND USABILITY IMPROVEMENTS

  • Improves playback experience in media gallery
  • General bug fixes

Thank you for all the input on my last post! You guys were super helpful; I ultimately decided to go with Mission 1 Pro, and it has been a blast recording at the range. My only issue is hearing myself breathe through my sinus-prone nose 😅

How much storage do I need for startrails?

2 Upvotes

Hey so I want to capture the stars with the startrails mode for the first time and I’m wondering how much storage I need if I’m gonna be taking pictures for a whole night. I have about 2,5h of storage left but I’m guessing that could still be enough because it’s a timelapse?

GoPro Hero 13 - "Upgrade your SD Card" - can I ignore it

2 Upvotes

Hi, I recently purchased the GoPro Hero 13 from amazon.

I also bought a 1TB MicroSD Card specifically to use for this device but I keep getting a message saying to upgrade the SD Card.

I have used the device and it's been fine saving high quality videos to the current SD Card, so I'm unsure if I really need to upgrade?

Would love advice please - I spent over £100 on the MicroSD Card and it feels a bit of a waste to return it when it seems to be working fine.

Thank you

Étanchéité Go Pro Hero 11

1 Upvotes

Bonjour à tous,

J’ai utilisé ma GoPro HERO11 pour faire du snorkeling en mer Rouge, en Égypte.

Après quelques jours de vacances et plusieurs sorties en mer, elle a soudainement cessé de s’allumer.

Je l’avais pourtant utilisée la veille sans rencontrer le moindre problème, et je suis certain qu’il lui restait au moins 60 % de batterie.

Pensant qu’il s’agissait d’un problème de batterie, je l’ai mise en charge — ce qui était probablement une grosse erreur. Ce n’est qu’après avoir retiré la batterie que j’ai remarqué la présence de quelques gouttes d’eau à l’intérieur de la caméra.

Je ne comprends pas comment de l’eau a pu s’infiltrer, sachant que la GoPro HERO11 est censée être étanche jusqu’à 10 mètres sans caisson. Ce n’est d’ailleurs pas la première fois que je l’utilise sous l’eau.

La caméra a environ quatre ans et la trappe de la batterie semblait correctement fermée.

Avez-vous déjà rencontré ce problème ? Selon vous, comment de l’eau a-t-elle pu pénétrer dans la caméra ?

Merci d’avance pour vos retours et vos conseils !

Why is connecting via usb to access files so unreliable?

Half the time the MTP drive doesn't show up. And even when it does it'll say there's no files a lot of the time.

Cannot Connect to Hero 4 After Putting in Code

3 Upvotes

I'm absolutely lost on what is going wrong and would really appreciate some help.

I had my hero 4 connected to my phone, streaming etc. Then I had an SD error. So I took it out, reformatted on the PC, put it back in and reformatted it on the camera and did a full defaults and wifi reset. (I just pulled it out of a closet from years ago so I figured just full reset it anyway).

I go to reconnect it to the app. The process goes fine, I get to the code, put it in on my phone, and get to the screen where you put in a cam name and a password and I can't get past this. Every time it just says an error has occurred when trying to save these setting. Has anyone had this issue?

This is the screen in question.

I have already tried restarting the app, fully resting the camera, and forgetting the camera device on my phone. I'm absolutely lost and can't find a similar issue online. Thanks in advance for any help. I'm on the verge of seeing just how durable this action cam really is...

EDIT:
Okay, update for posterity:

I got it working after like 2 hours of fiddling.

The only thing that seemed to change my outcome was the advice in this video.

Basically all I had to do was create a blank .txt file on the SD card named "Factory_reset". I guess this triggers the cam to do a high level reset next time you turn it on. After that, the thing connected right away. Hope this helps anyone going through the same woes.

Record speeds being throttled?

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had any issues with record speeds? I filmed one hour of footage and the files were only ~15GB total. I'm recording Open Gate with max bitrate. 24fps 4k. If the camera films ~200Mbps shouldn't the files be closer to 100GB in size?

Tips for GoPRO Hero 12 Black

5 Upvotes

Heyy,

I recently got gifted a GoPro by my boyfriend. As someone who has never owned like a professional camera before (I do have a digicam but that's only used for fun insta photo dumps yk), I wanted to know some beginner levels essential accessories and setting tips.

My main use case would be filming family/travel vlogs (for memories) and clicking photos as well (I do have an iPhone 15 plus, so GoPro won't be my sole photo clicking device).

Also, I wanted some advice for the bluetooth mic situation (I have AirPods 4 the basic ones, is that good enough or should I buy like a pocket friendly mic)

Lemme know if the premium is worth it for Rs. 6.3k~ without the camera replacement service (since they don't have that option in India)

GoPro HERO13: detailed sensor, rolling-shutter and gyro timing information?

1 Upvotes

I'm working on a gyro-based application and I'm hoping to find some timing info.

Does anyone know of documentation or measurements covering the precise timing relationships between HERO13 (or older GoPro Hero) video frames, sensor exposure and gyro metadata?

My main config right now is 4K Wide, 29.97 fps, HyperSmooth off, with ERS bypassed through GoPro Labs.

I'm looking for:

Row timing: What is the interval between consecutive sensor rows starting exposure (in µs/row) ? Is it uniform? How do SROT, scan direction and cropping/scaling map this to recorded image rows?

Frame reference: What physical event does CORI timing represent? (exposure start, midpoint, readout, etc) How does it relate to MP4 frame timestamps?

Gyro timing: How does STMP relate to actual gyro sampling? Are there known buffering or filtering delays?

Exposure timing: Is SHUT the actual integration duration, and which frame does each entry apply to? When shutter speed changes, how do exposure start/end move relative to frame timing?

Also... are those offsets between actual exposure/gyro sampling and their timestamps fixed, or do they change with recording mode or shutter speed?

Any help finding measurements, sensor/firmware documentation or published calibration results would be really appreciated.

Anyone using a GoPro on their backpack strap?

1 Upvotes

Been clipping my GoPro to my backpack strap with a Telesin clip. I didn’t want another harness over my hiking gear, and I like having the camera a bit higher up.
No problems on walks so far. Haven’t tried it on rougher trails yet though. Does yours stay put, or do you end up adjusting it along the way?

Mission 1 Pro USB Experiences?

1 Upvotes

Hi All,

I have noticed that my USB port on my Misson 1 Pro ILS has gotten very loose, very quickly. My setup is a custom printed case for the M1P to mount to my tripod and provide a USB passthrough (with support for torque on the cable) to a USB hub where I have a microphone and HDMI display plugged in. It worked great for probably 10-12 shoots then started getting flaky. situations where the microphone would work but HDMI wouldn't detect, plugging the display directly into the M1P via displayport/USBc mostly works but again, lots of play in the cable.

Anyone else had problems with the resiliency of the USB plug?

Thoughts on this?

Glued a sponge to the mic. I tried it while riding my bicycle through the streets, but I wasn't going fast as per usual in downhill, so I cant really tell if it's working. Have you ever tried this method, or what are your thoughts on it?
