  SPEAKER_00: GoPro is back in the cockpit with their new Mission One camera series, ready to launch some serious competition.

  SPEAKER_00: The entry level Mission 1 will start at$600 and boasts a new 50-megapixel 1-inch sensor.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_00: GoPro claims this sensor will provide a major upgrade in image quality and low light performance compared to the Hero 13 series.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_00: At first glance, it might look like the Hero Series with the same waterproof design, but this camera can record 8,000 pixel video at 30 frames per second and 4,000 pixel video at an impressive 120 frames per second.

  SPEAKER_00: While it doesn't feature the higher frame rates found in its more advanced siblings, it does support 10-bit GP Log 2-color and 32-bit float audio.
• 1:07
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds like a recipe for some epic adventure footage, or should I say a high-flying ticket to the action?
• 1:14
  SPEAKER_00: Now let's talk about the Mission 1 Pro, the flagship model priced at$700, geared towards professional and semi-professional videographers.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_00: This beauty can capture 8,000 pixel video at 60 frames per second and 4,000 pixel video at a staggering 240 frames per second.
• 1:36
  SPEAKER_00: If you're into slow motion shots, get ready for an extreme burst mode that cranks out 960 frames per second at 1080 pixels.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: Talk about a slow-mo journey that could put your last layover to shame.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, it offers 4x3 open gate recordings at 8,000 pixels at 30 frames per second and 4000 pixels at 120 frames per second, making it a versatile tool for any kind of editing.

  SPEAKER_00: Just don't expect to fly these specs past the TSA.
• 2:04
  SPEAKER_00: Buckle up, we're entering turbulent skies, but wait, there's more.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_00: The Mission 1 Pro ILS, priced the same as the Pro at$700, features an interchangeable lens system with a micro 4-3 mount.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: It shares the same 1-inch sensor and high-speed video specs as the Pro model.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_00: However, it's not set to launch until the third quarter of 2026, so patience is key here, like waiting for an aircraft to be cleared for takeoff.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_00: And if you're a GoPro subscriber, you'll be getting a sweet$100 discount on this beast, because who doesn't love a little turbulence in the form of savings?

  SPEAKER_00: Feel free to remove your seatbelt and roam around a little.
