GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS lands 3.5-star PCMag review as a niche slow-motion camera

PCMag reviewed the GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS on August 26, 2026 and gave it a 3.5 out of 5 “Good” rating, describing it as a specialized camera rather than a mainstream action cam. PCMag praised the tiny interchangeable-lens model for slow-motion video, but said it asks more of creators than autofocus options do. The review highlighted several drawbacks, including restrictions to manual-focus and mechanical-aperture lenses, a small fixed display that makes focus a chore, and the omission of GoPro’s usual waterproofing. PCMag said the camera is best suited to filmmakers and pro videographers who want a compact B camera for slow-motion shots or for mounting in tight spaces where a full-size camera cannot fit.
