“The Mission 1 Pro takes the best footage of any action camera currently available. It's just not a perfect camera otherwise.”

“The Mission 1 Pro is GoPro's best camera to date, and while it's worth a splurge if you want the very best, it only has a few more features than the standard Mission 1, which costs $100 less and is a better value for most creators, making it our Editors' Choice.”
