GoPro Unveils Pricing for New Mission Cameras, Targets Professional Filmmakers
GoPro has announced the pricing for its new Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro cameras, with the devices carrying a price tag of $599.99 and $699.99, respectively.
While these prices may be steep for casual, weekend athletes, professional filmmakers may find the features and quality of the cameras to be worth the investment. However, GoPro is offering a discount of $100 for customers who subscribe to its ecosystem, which could help make the devices more accessible to a wider range of users.
The Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro cameras can be reserved now, and customers who do so will receive a free Point-and-Shoot Grip accessory, valued at $100, while supplies last. The cameras are set to be released on May 28th.
In addition to the Mission 1 and Mission 1 Pro, GoPro is also planning to release the Mission 1 Pro ILS, a camera with an interchangeable mount for Micro Four Thirds (MFT) lenses and adapters, later in the third quarter. This device will be priced at $699.99, or $599.99 for GoPro subscribers.
According to Owen Grove, video director at The Verge, the new Mission cameras offer a range of features that are likely to appeal to professional filmmakers, including high-quality video and advanced stabilization.
While the pricing of the new Mission cameras may be out of reach for some users, GoPro is clearly targeting the professional market with these devices. As the company continues to evolve and expand its product line, it will be interesting to see how the new Mission cameras are received by filmmakers and other professionals.
