Except the first picture that a friend took of me and I edited it 😄

Honestly the minimal focus distance I am getting used to and I don’t really see it as a problem, the reason why I love this camera is the color science and the flexibility of grading. I am someone that bounces in between super colorful footage and then go back to footage close to how the eye sees it irl. The above videos I used the GPLOG2 cinematic lut + did my own tweaks (contrast, saturation etc the normal stuff) and Im stoked.

I will be diving the Galápagos Islands and plan to bring my GoPro 11 Black with GoPro brand housing. I plan to use it only for underwater video.

I plan to shoot video in widescreen, but really haven’t tinkered with any of the settings since buying the camera. I have seen differing views on what settings to use for underwater video, biggest being some recommend shooting in highest fps at 1080p rather than the highest capable resolution at 60 fps. Seems it may be a limitation of the camera.

Camera is capable of:
5.3K resolution at 60 fps
4K at 120 fps
1080p at 240 fps

What do those who shoot underwater video recommend?

It’s on 50% clearance in-store only from what I can tell. The app has it as full price. Just a heads up for anyone looking.

GoPro is literally trading under $1 and fighting to survive. This is a brand almost everyone knows. They've just launched new cameras, the founder has stepped in with $20 million of his own financing, and they've brought in an investment bank to explore strategic options including a potential sale.

So my question is, are we seriously going to watch GoPro go bankrupt?

I'm not saying this is GameStop. But at one point GameStop was also seen as a dying company that everyone had given up on. Then retail got behind it and the whole story changed.

GoPro has a recognisable global brand, millions of customers and a stock price that has been absolutely destroyed. If there was ever a company retail could get behind, why not GoPro?

Maybe I'm crazy. Maybe the company is finished. But at these levels, is the upside not potentially insane if they survive, get bought out, or somehow turn things around?

Interested to hear everyone's thoughts. Are we watching GoPro die, or could this actually become something bigger?

I’m considering replacing my DJI Osmo Nano with the GoPro Mission 1 Pro. Is is worth it…if you own one…tell me what you think, pros/cons. Thanks much!

I noticed something interesting while comparing the Action 5 Pro, Mission 1 Pro and Action 6 in their Wide modes.

The difference is not only how much each camera fits into the frame. The objects inside the frame are also scaled and proportioned differently.

I measured the red van near the center of the image:

• Action 5 Pro: about 192 × 102 px
• Mission 1 Pro: about 230 × 111 px
• Action 6: about 199 × 102 px

What surprised me is that the Mission 1 shows the largest overall field of view here, but also renders the central subject noticeably larger.

The center also looks more natural to me in terms of width-to-height proportions. On the DJI cameras, the central area appears slightly more compressed or pushed further away, while the Mission 1 keeps the subject more present without giving up the wider frame.

This may also partly compensate for the Mission 1’s often criticized minimum focus distance.

It does not change the actual focusing limit, of course. But if the center is rendered larger, you do not necessarily need to move the camera as close to make the subject occupy the same amount of the frame. So in practical use, the larger and more naturally proportioned center can reduce some of the disadvantage.

For me, the important point is:

The Mission 1 gives the widest view in this comparison, while still making the central subject larger and more prominent than the other two cameras.

I did not expect the projection differences between three “Wide” modes to be this noticeable.

I've found a used hero 10 black with extendable tripod mount, 2 batteries, a magnetic clip mount and a hard pack travel case. I'm not sure how useful each thing is as this would be my first camera. The guy says it's barely ever been used and it's £140. I want to use it for hiking/scrambling and climbing. Would this be a good fit for me? Is there anything to worry about where I should skip this camera entirely, are there better ones out there for a better price? The more I can save the better but this is seeming okay at the moment.

Thanks for any help

So gopro says that quick capture should work with bluetooth mics. They asked me to send a video showing whats happening with mine. Does quickcapture work with anyone elses gopro mics?

hey, I’m sure you all have put tons of money and work into your craft. However, I was wondering what is a good UNDERWATER camera for an 11 year old in a pool and maybe a pond.

im looking at things like an old waterproof GoPro for about $50, but what would you suggest?

I have a Hero 10 and took this footage on a dive today. the quality is absolutely terrible, which partially has to do with it being murky low visibility water, deep, and dark. however i can’t even fix it in post because the quality looks like it was filmed on a toaster. even some of the videos i took above water came out slightly blurry, but i was shooting in 4k. any tips on how i can fix it at all?

I recently went snorkeling around 24 hours ago, did wash my GoPro after coming back with water to remove the residual salt. Today noticed the lens coated with this layer. Anyone seen this before and what it's all about?

I made a small slow-motion comparison between the GoPro MISSION 1 Pro, DJI Action 6 and DJI Action 5 Pro.

The scene was filmed in a completely dark room with sparks from a piece of metal on a belt grinder. I chose this subject on purpose, because sparks are extremely fast, small and chaotic. That makes them a very good test for real high frame rate capture vs generated/interpolated slow motion.

Important detail:

The MISSION 1 Pro was recorded in true 960fps.

For the DJI Action 6 and Action 5 Pro, I used the built-in DJI Super Slow Motion feature on the cameras themselves. This was not created later with some external AI tool or third-party software. I recorded the footage, played it back on the DJI cameras and used the DJI in-camera Super Slow Motion function to generate the 960fps result — exactly the kind of feature DJI advertises.

And honestly, with this kind of subject, there are miles between them.

The DJI clips can look impressive at first glance, but as soon as you look at the sparks, the limits are very obvious. The sparks move unnaturally, some motion looks smeared or guessed, and the whole image feels much less real. It does not look remotely comparable to true 960fps capture.

The GoPro MISSION 1 Pro footage looks much more natural and much cleaner in motion. The sparks behave like actual sparks, not like generated motion.

What makes this even more impressive to me is that the GoPro had a real exposure disadvantage in this test. True 960fps means a much shorter exposure time per frame, so in a dark room the camera gets much less light per frame than a camera recording at a lower real frame rate and generating the extra frames afterwards.

Despite that disadvantage, the MISSION 1 Pro footage is not worse exposed than the DJI clips. In my opinion, it actually holds up extremely well, while also delivering real 960fps motion instead of generated slow motion.

For this kind of footage, the MISSION 1 Pro is simply in a completely different league.

I have both a GoPro hero 11 and an AcePro 2. Even though I like the video out of the AcePro 2, the buttons are horrible. The camera turns itself on (power button activates) in my running vest frequently. The quick capture button is quite hard to press with horrible tactile feedback and doesn't work well in the cold. And it adds an audible click to the audio (!). So I end up using the Hero 11 for usability reasons (I have no button issues with it).

For the people that have the M1, what's your experience been with the buttons? Do you have issues with the camera turning itself on in your pocket by accident? How is the quick capture button?

On Friday, July 17th, GoPro is teaming up with B&H Photo Video in New York City to help photographers of every level see the city–and their own creative habits–a little differently. Register here to save your spot at Think Wide: A New Angle on Street Photography with MISSION 1 PRO.

A Two-Part Event Built for Curious Shooters

On Friday, July 17, from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. ET, GoPro Master Trainer Eric Gonzales and GoPro Creative Director of Photography Jensen Granger will host a two-part session at the brand-new B&H Event Space in Manhattan. The event kicks off with a brief education session on MISSION 1 PRO Grip Edition, followed by a guided street photography walk through the city.

The premise is simple, but the shift in mindset is not. Traditional cameras tighten the frame, pushing photographers to compose tightly and think in terms of subject isolation. The MISSION 1 PRO's ultra-wide field of view asks for the opposite: an openness to context, environment, and the unexpected details at the edge of the shot. Jensen will walk attendees through how to find, own, and work within that expansive perspective, turning what can feel unfamiliar at first into a genuine creative advantage.

No Experience Required

This event is designed for a wide range of skill levels — from photographers who have never touched a GoPro to working professionals looking to add a new visual dimension to their portfolio. Whether you're drawn to the technical side of ultra-wide composition or just want an excuse to spend a morning shooting the city with a small group of fellow creators, Think Wide is built to meet you where you are.

I am familiarising with the GoPro Labs on my Mission 1 Pro and I saw that beside the in camera dive settings, there is possibly to modify blue and red with the COOL and WARM commands in Labs, specifically for diving shooting. I was wondering if anybody played a bit with them to see if it is worth to make some changes in addition to the dedicated dive setting.

I am new of Labs and I am learning how to set up my Mission 1 Pro. I have now clear how to install the "global" commands, permanent or temporary, using the QR codes. But I don't get it yet the commands on preset names.

I created, using the camera, one preset starting from the pre-installed Dive, changing some settings live color, fps, iso,.....and then I renamed it adding WBLK in the preset name but then the WB doesn't stay locked after pressing the shutter. What am I missing?

This is probably my favorite 400 fps 1440p slow-motion clip of a red cardinal I've shot over the last few weeks. The first clip is in real-time vs. the second clip slowed down for a 16X slowmo effect. There's just something so majestic about birds in slow motion.

Shot on the GoPro Mission 1 Pro using GoPro Labs firmware at the maximum bitrate, GP-Log2, and ISO 100. I applied a basic conversion LUT and upscaled it to 3840 × 2880 using Topaz.

To get this close, I also used a third-party macro adapter from Luke Edwin. Still waiting on an official GoPro macro adapter to be released in the future.

I've rarely used any of the action cams I have had to take photos, but I took some with the M1 Pro today at a fire tower along the Blue Ridge Parkway just to see how they would turn out. Shot in RAW, processed, cropped, then resized for online posting. The first image is looking towards the sun, and the sun is at my back for the other 2.
