Hello, like in the title, I think I am ready to start considering an upgrade on my equipment.

I am currently using a GoPro 12 with 3 inon wet lens, with tray, floater, and a tripod for shooting macro and video with fixed camera

I am now evaluating what will be my next system, since with the new mission 1 realese with new form factor, and new high price, I am oriented to go on the next level, but I feel overwhelmed a bit by the choice.

I don't have an exact budget yet, but since it's an upgrade on the current one, I start evaluating system from 2500€ and up.

I'd like a suggestion on the camera body, lens option, tray and lights, but mainly I have to decide the camera.

I'd like to keep the GoPro flexibility under water, where I can swap the wet lenses from wide, to macro, to super macro, ( by this I mean I'd like to have a system that allow me to be able to shoot almost everything without the need for example of a lens change inside the housing), to have a good balance between performance and size, without being too heavy to travel.

Also, the size of the setup underwater would ideally be not much bigger than the current one, to allow me to film in small spots.

Here is a picture for reference of the current setup

Hello, I have a rig just like your, GP12 and wet lens by INON (macro and wide) with floating arms.

I was considering the new Mission 1 but I'm not sure about the availability of lens adapters by the manufacturers.

For my purposes GP system is the right choice

Ciao

Like Davide - in your situation I would go for a Lumix L10 - it's almost what I did a few years back, building a rig around the Lumix LX10, but the new L10 has so much to offer.
You can work with this camera for a few years for sure, and go from wide to real super macro on the same dive if you're so inclined (in reality you probably won't). This is the amazing thing about compacts. And full manual control.
Two major downsides:
1. weight - compacts are bricks in the water and you'll need a lot of + buoyancy
2. battery life for video

Thanks to all, I'll have to get a read on the L10 section when I have some dead time ( I am using for the last days my setup in Egypt, part of the reason I change, I found a buyer 😁)

I am still not excluding the mission 1 option, but to really consider that, I need to be sure, that the lens adaptors for the inon lenses will be available in the near future. And the price also is a clear decking factory, since by the time I add the cost of the 3 lens, + the new mission 1, I am probably better spend my money on the compact option

I haven't checked anything online, but I believe this is the question that all underwater accessory manufacturers for GoPros will have to answer and probably they are working on it already.

Mainly Inon and AOI.

Will the wide and macro wet lenses be able to cover the 1" sensor?

AOI had just introduced that universal housing with the interchangeable internal camera template. Will it be able to fit the new GoPro Mission 1?
