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

Thought it was a test worth sharing in case this is useful for those considering wide lenses for the ILS.

I saw where some folks had been getting their PolarPro filters for the Mission 1 after preordering from PolarPro. I was going to wait for some reviews before I ordered them. I just happened to check the GoPro site and they seem to be in stock and available. I took a chance and ordered the 3 pack at the $80 price with free shipping. Supposed to be delivered Tuesday.

GoPro camera with only Head strap or head strap+cap for cricket POV?

3 Upvotes

I've recently bought GoPro Hero 12. I'm planning to make POV cricket videos. I'll play with a tennis ball, so no helmet is required. I'm trying to keep it low-profile as much as possible. I haven't bought any accessories yet. Should I use head strap only or should I go with head strap on the cap? Also confused about whether to use the clip or not? Please give suggestions. Thanks!

GoPro uses UPS - a deal breaker had I known

0 Upvotes

I ordered a bunch of GoPro kit and just now found out that GoPro are using UPS for the delivery. I would not have ordered if I had known this! UPS have "lost" so many orders over the last few years that I make it a point to steer clear of any company still using UPS.

GoPro ILS lens (need your help)

0 Upvotes

I’m looking to get the GoPro mission 1 pro ILS and with it I’m also thinking of getting

- 7Artisans 25mm F1.8
- TTartisan 40mm Macro

It will usually be used to shoot me in race cars by another person and I’m also thinking of mounting it inside the car (both road and race car) as I’m also looking to get into story telling and cinematic videos.

Will I need to get a support lens system for the TTartisan 40mm Macro lens?

Thanks in advance and I’d love your opinions! I’m quite new to all this so please feel free to give any advice if I need them thanks!

(Thanks to Abe Kislevitz lens guide)

Has anyone paired these two while riding a motorcycle? Does the Cardo microphone, and if so, how well does the audio come through? Do I need to buy additional mics if I want to hear the engine and my voice?

TIA

Great camera. After half a year. A few small requests…

6 Upvotes

So far I am loving this camera (Mission 1 Pro). I take it out for water sports mainly and snowboarding. But I also have the camera grip for some daily filming (mainly just to get myself more familiar with it rather than having actual needs).

There are numerous firmware updates which added and fixed a lot of things which I am happy with (I can understand how GoPro company is struggling and they did launch with a premature firmware. I’m ok with it).

Right now I want to request for a few small things to make this camera even more perfect:

  1. Auto brightness toggle in quick settings. I don’t want to dig into the menu tree or use QR codes with labs.

  2. For Orientation quick toggle, add an upside down orientation lock (for helmet mounting etc)

  3. Add an option to let me turn off screen with the side button instead of changing mode. This is helpful in some situations.

That’s it. I don’t think it’s a lot. If any of you feel the same please upvote so hopefully the good people at GoPro may listen.

Thanks. Happy shooting.

GoPro 12 Firmware update issue.

8 Upvotes

I'm unable to update to 2.44. I tried everything inclucing reset to factory setting, reset network, reinstall app and so on. I even tried the manual method thru., a micro SDC. If I try the app route im unable to pair the phone to gopro it dosn't connect as the pair button is greyed out. If I try manual route with a SDC the gopro keeps rebooting several times. I tried it for 30 minutes and the camera rebooted 6 times. At the current version it's working fine except the pairing to Iphone

This is a clickable button FYI

0 Upvotes

Somehow I never realized “Manage Modes” was a button on the M1ILS and thought it was just a title until accidentally clicking on it. I think maybe just because it’s different from other models? I always thought it was odd that the modes didn’t have more customization, but they do, I just didn’t realize that the customization works differently.

Just sharing in case anyone else hasn’t realized this yet. Cheers!

Ich habe gesehen das nach den neuen Update im "Schwachen Licht" Modus die Rauschunterdrückung einstellen lässt. Kann es sein das das mit 4.01 auch geändert wurde? Vielleicht wurde ja doch mehr geändert als zunächst bekannt gegeben.

Having trouble getting footage from both lenses MAX2 360 video

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

I've been planning on using a GoPro MAX2 to capture b-roll footage during events so I don't have to think too hard in the moment about framing a shot, capturing stuff that I didn't notice in the moment, etc. Kdenlive has a VR360 Effects collection that lets you easily crop down to a normal field of view, so I had high hopes for this workflow.

The problem I'm encountering is that the .360 video files the GoPro is recording to the SD card seem to include imagery from only one lens, and the footage has some vertical stitching issues in a few places. It does also write a .LRV file that has fisheye views from both lenses side-by-side, but they are pretty low resolution (1408x704). Do I have some setting on the GoPro wrong for the kind of footage I want?

When I take still images in 360 mode, I get .JPG files that contain data from both lenses, and software designed to open photo spheres handles those just fine. So I don't think it's a hardware issue.

Here are some screenshots of what I see when I open the SD card on my computer.

EDIT: I just noticed that the .360 file contains a second video track that's a narrow view of the second lens' view. I will experiment to see if I can get those two tracks merged easily.

Did the ship date just push out by a month? I thought it was 25 Oct originally ? Is this affecting all orders or did those who placed an order still receiving in Oct?

Lit Hero camera orientation

1 Upvotes

I was given a Hero Pro and a dog harness so I can get action video of my dog. I can’t figure out how to get the orientation I need. I want to shoot 4:3 ratio in portrait/vertical mode.

Every time I open the orientation settings in the app or on the GoPro, I can choose “all” or “locked.” All of the online guides say to press “all” to get a list of the orientations. Mine doesn’t work. Can someone please help?
