GoPro MISSION 1 PRO Grip Edition

GoPro MISSION 1 PRO Grip Edition is a compact professional-grade action and cinema camera with a practical Point-and-Shoot Grip, designed for handheld filming, travel, events, sports, street scenes and dynamic content creation. This bundle is made for creators who want GoPro durability, but also need higher image quality, a larger sensor and more advanced controls than a traditional action camera. The camera features a 1-inch sensor that captures more light and helps deliver cleaner footage in challenging lighting conditions. This is especially useful indoors, at night, during concerts, while travelling or in situations where smaller-sensor cameras can produce more visible noise. The next-generation GP3 processor enables high-resolution recording, fast frame rates and reliable performance during intensive shooting. GoPro MISSION 1 PRO supports up to 8K60 video, 4K240 slow motion and 1080p high frame rate recording up to 480/400 fps. The 8K Open Gate mode gives creators more flexibility when editing for horizontal, vertical or square formats. This makes it a strong choice for YouTube, Instagram Reels, TikTok, advertising content and professional social media production. The key advantage of the Grip Edition is the included Point-and-Shoot Grip. It makes handheld filming more comfortable, adds better control and helps create a classic point-and-shoot shooting style. The grip is especially useful for travel, events, concerts, street footage, vlogs and situations where you need to quickly grab the camera and start filming. The camera also includes HyperSmooth video stabilization with AutoBoost, Horizon Lock, 10-bit and 10-bit Log recording, HLG HDR, up to 240 Mbps bit rate and H.265 video format. These features provide more flexibility for color grading, editing and professional-looking final results. For audio, MISSION 1 PRO offers 32-bit float audio, Bluetooth 5.3 audio connectivity, USB-C microphone support, multi-track recording and manual audio controls. This is useful for vlogging, interviews, travel videos and professional content creation where clean and editable audio matters. GoPro MISSION 1 PRO Grip Edition is rugged and waterproof down to 20 m without an additional housing, making it suitable not only for everyday filming, but also for sports, water activities, travel, snow, dust and demanding environments.
