SAN MATEO, Calif., Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced that its MISSION 1 Series of compact cinema cameras has earned 11 top industry awards from 10 leading consumer technology, photography, and outdoor publications. The honors include Best Camera and Best Action Camera on SlashGear's Hot List 2026, Best Overall Action Camera from WIRED, editor's choice awards from PCMag, Tom's Guide, Gizmodo, and The Shortcut, recommendation awards from TechRadar and Digital Camera World, a Mashable Choice Award, and Best Waterproof Camera in the 2026 SURFER Awards. The recognition spans the core three-camera lineup: MISSION 1, MISSION 1 PRO, and MISSION 1 PRO ILS, GoPro's first camera with an interchangeable lens mount.

Built around a new 50MP 1" sensor and GoPro's ultra-efficient GP3 processor, the MISSION 1 Series delivers powerful 8K60 video, impressive low-light performance, dramatic slow motion, and category-leading runtimes for everything from local adventures and tropical vacations to vlogging and even commercial productions. The series comprises MISSION 1, MISSION 1 PRO, MISSION 1 PRO Grip Edition, MISSION 1 PRO Creator Edition, MISSION 1 PRO Ultimate Creator Edition, and MISSION 1 PRO ILS. All are available now at GoPro.com and at retailers globally, alongside the new MISSION Monitor app for iPhone® and iPad®.¹

"We built the MISSION 1 Series because our customers kept asking us for more performance from their GoPros, and you don't have to be a pro to see the difference. It shows up in the early-morning waves, the sunset hikes, and the weekend bike rides," said Pablo Lema, GoPro's Senior Vice President of Product Management. "Eleven awards from the reviewers who test everything in this category tell us we got it right."
