This is the best insight video ive seen about Gopro M1,M1PRO, M1PRO ILS

Edited April 20Apr 20 by Nando Diver

David Newman from Gopro Labs said in Las vegas that the Mission 1 cameras with NO AIRFLOW (sitting on the desk) running 8K60 or 4K120 will overheat after 40 minutes.

In real world use (with airflow) use at 77F or 25C (Gopro testing) it will run until the battery drains out

DC Rainmaker Hands-on with Gopro Mission 1 pro

From the DC RAINMAKER VIDEO :

Lens WIDE 16-24mm (8K60 or 4K240)

Lens Linear 22-27mm (8K60 or 4K240)

Superview 16mm (Limited 8K30 or 4K240)

Some of the settings i suspect they are coming from Gopro labs firmware implemented in the stock firmware, like DIVE MODE for refraction of the water to avoid corner distortion & STABILIZATION algoritmth for underwater

NEW SETTINGS or RENAMED

8K Open Gate 4:3 (previous called 8:7)

Added Mode DIVE MODE

Image Tunning stabilization (balanced, sport, face, Underwater )

Gopro labs support ( example : Bitrate up to 300Mbps, True 24fps, 100GB per file, Histogram, On-screen spirit Level )

Heres a great Interview by CineD regarding the M1,M1PRO & M1PRO ILS

All the Geeky and technical stuff and which market are this camera for, really worth to watch.

New Hands-on for DC Rainmaker

The Mission 1 series according to the developer will be so good underwater that the Dive=1 feature from Gopro labs is no longer required..

But the option to lock white balance will be available..

ILS model with the mighty Pana 8mm fisheye.

You need a housing and of course electronic contacts. I don't see any formal M43 mount Alliance membership so IMHO for the moment DOA for underwater use.

Not necessarily DOA for underwater use as there are many non-electronic lenses that can actually be used underwater (e.g. Laowa or TTArtisan) in the macro or wide angle world. But the bigger problem I see is since no manufacturer does focus/zoom/aperture ring for those lenses, using those lenses will require DIY solutions such as 3D printed gears and ultimately that means unfortunately that there is a low probability that as a manufacturer makes a housing for such system as it would requires them to develop also lens gears. There has been a few camera body for studios (e.g Lumix BS1H, BGH1) that could have had their own housing from Nauticam with an MFT established port chart and it never happened for some reasons.

I agree with you that in this era of hardcore DIY, there will be someone printing gears and extensions for ports already on the market. I can already hear the sound of @Dave_Hicks printer 😃

Maybe there will even be some Chinese manufacturer already working on something industrial.

But is it worth it? And at what cost?

We are entering luxury Weefine/AOI housing territory. Honestly, it seems like overkill to me. You end up with the price of a real Mirrorless kit but with only disadvantages: fixed focus, everything automatic. Look at the photos @bvanant takes with his OM and AOI housing 😉

Besides, I don't see all these lenses being suitable underwater.

The GPM1 ILS has a crop factor between 2.7 and 3. Even the Pana fisheye would probably have a narrower AOW than the Canon 8-15 and 2x teleconverter that everyone is talking about here.

Other lenses are even worse. A Pana 12mm becomes at least a 30mm. Good luck! Maybe close focus and macro... MF of course.

Then again, I would be curious to see some interesting crazy project, but what I meant is that we are moving away from the target point-and-shoot customer. And if I have to deal with a pricey rig as big as a mirrorless with no economic or usability advantages, I don't see the point.

Happy to be proven wrong.

On the other hand, for underwater use, the iterations of the classic GoPro are very interesting.

This ILS might make sense for fun use in land shots and for use as a crash cam in cinema.

Ciao

Full HD + 960fps + Davinci Resolve 🤟🤟

That is crazy...
