GoPro Mission 1 Pro Review: The Best Action Camera You Can Buy
GoPro Mission 1 Pro 评测：你能买到的最强运动相机
GoPro shook up the action camera world earlier this year, announcing the Mission 1 series of cameras, offering 8K video and the biggest image sensor you can get in an action camera. The Mission 1 series is now here, and after spending several months shooting with it on bikes, paddleboards, sailboats, zip lines, and more, I can say with confidence that this is the best action camera you can buy.
今年早些时候，GoPro 发布了 Mission 1 系列相机，在运动相机领域掀起了波澜。该系列提供 8K 视频拍摄功能，并搭载了运动相机中最大的图像传感器。如今 Mission 1 系列已经正式上市，在过去几个月里，我带着它在自行车、桨板、帆船、滑索等多种场景下进行了拍摄，我可以自信地说，这是目前你能买到的最好的运动相机。
The Mission 1 Pro offers sharp, clear 8K footage with class-leading color-accurate video, excellent dynamic range, and great low-light performance (a place where other GoPro’s have struggled). And they’re every bit as waterproof, durable, and capable as you’d expect from a GoPro. The downside is that the $699 price also makes this the most expensive action camera you can buy, meaning it’s not necessarily the GoPro for everyone.
Mission 1 Pro 能够拍摄清晰锐利的 8K 画面，具备同类产品中领先的色彩准确度、出色的动态范围以及优秀的低光表现（这是其他 GoPro 机型曾经的短板）。同时，它依然保持了 GoPro 一贯的防水、耐用和高性能。缺点在于 699 美元的售价使其成为目前市面上最昂贵的运动相机，这意味着它未必适合每一位用户。
A Pro-Level GoPro
专业级的 GoPro
Anyone who has ever tuned in for a GoPro earnings call (could be just me) knows that GoPro has long wanted to make a camera aimed at cinema professionals. That’s what the Mission 1 series is—it’s the Hero camera but with video quality that can be mixed with cinema-level cameras. There are three Mission 1 cameras, the entry level Mission 1, the slightly better Mission 1 Pro, and the Mission 1 Pro ILS, which uses interchangeable lenses based on the Micro Four Thirds mount.
任何关注过 GoPro 财报电话会议的人（可能只有我）都知道，GoPro 一直渴望打造一款面向电影专业人士的相机。Mission 1 系列正是为此而生——它保留了 Hero 系列的形态，但视频质量足以与电影级摄影机相媲美。Mission 1 系列共有三款机型：入门级的 Mission 1、性能稍强的 Mission 1 Pro，以及采用基于 M4/3 卡口可更换镜头的 Mission 1 Pro ILS。
The ILS is the model that pro filmmakers will probably be most drawn to, while the other two cameras, while still chock-full of features for pros, will appeal to the original GoPro audience—those of us looking for a tough camera that can withstand just about any adventure.
ILS 机型可能会最吸引专业电影制作人，而另外两款机型虽然同样配备了丰富的专业功能，但更适合 GoPro 的核心用户群体——即那些寻找能够应对各种极限冒险的坚固相机的用户。
Design and Handling
设计与操控
The first thing that jumped out at me on unboxing the Mission 1 Pro is that it’s very nearly the same size as the Hero 13. I was expecting the larger sensor to require more space, and it is wider due to the enlarged lens housing, but otherwise the Mission 1 Pro is almost exactly the same size as the Hero 13.
开箱 Mission 1 Pro 时，我注意到的第一件事是它的尺寸与 Hero 13 几乎完全相同。我原以为更大的传感器需要更多的空间，虽然由于镜头模组增大，机身确实宽了一些，但除此之外，Mission 1 Pro 的体积与 Hero 13 几乎如出一辙。
The Mission 1 Pro is still very much a GoPro and sat well on all the mounts I normally test action cameras with. It is heavier, and that weight feels more to the front thanks to the larger lens housing, but the only time I noticed this was when mounting on a helmet.
Mission 1 Pro 依然保持了纯正的 GoPro 血统，能够完美适配我平时测试运动相机时使用的所有支架。它的重量有所增加，且由于镜头模组更大，重心略微前移，但只有在安装到头盔上时，我才感觉到这种差异。
The other significant design difference from the Hero 13 is the much larger buttons. They are raised up higher and easier to press, making the Mission 1 Pro the first GoPro I’ve used that’s just as easy to use while wearing gloves or even mittens.
与 Hero 13 相比，另一个显著的设计差异是按键变得更大了。按键凸起更高，按压感更舒适，这使得 Mission 1 Pro 成为我用过的第一款在佩戴手套甚至连指手套时也能轻松操作的 GoPro。
Sensor and Performance
传感器与性能
The exterior of the camera may show its GoPro DNA, but the internals of the Mission 1 Pro are unlike any action camera that’s come before. There are two big upgrades inside, the first being the new Type 1 50-megapixel sensor. A Type 1 sensor is 13.2 x 8.8 mm, which, while quite a bit bigger than anything else in an action camera, is definitely not physically 1 inch in any dimension. With that confusion out of the way, it is a big sensor, and it yields much higher-quality video than I’ve ever seen from an action camera.
相机的外观或许还保留着 GoPro 的基因，但 Mission 1 Pro 的内部构造与以往任何运动相机都截然不同。内部有两大重大升级，首先是全新的 5000 万像素 Type 1 传感器。Type 1 传感器的尺寸为 13.2 x 8.8 毫米，虽然比其他运动相机中的传感器大得多，但在物理尺寸上确实并非 1 英寸。抛开这些术语上的困惑，这确实是一块大底传感器，它带来的视频画质远超我以往在运动相机上所见。
The larger sensor area allows for 8K video capture at up to 60 fps. It’s actually a little bit bigger than 8K, because that 8K footage is still 8K even with HyperSmooth stabilization turned on. (HyperSmooth makes about a 10 percent crop.) The sensor can even do 4:3 open gate capture at up to 8K 30 fps, which is as high (even higher) than what some mirrorless cameras are capable of shooting.
更大的传感器面积支持高达 60 fps 的 8K 视频录制。实际上，它的录制范围比 8K 略大，因为即使开启 HyperSmooth 防抖功能（会有约 10% 的画面裁切），录制的素材依然能保持 8K 分辨率。该传感器甚至支持最高 8K 30 fps 的 4:3 全画幅（Open Gate）拍摄，这一规格甚至超过了部分无反相机。
I am tempted to say that very few of us need 8K footage. You might have had the same thought. But 8K allows you to crop and zoom in significantly, while retaining the ability to export 4K video. This is especially true with the GoPro’s very wide, 156 degree field of view (146 with HyperSmooth on). Even if you have no plans to ever export anything as 8K, the ability to crop in post makes the Mission 1 Pro a more powerful camera than most action cams.
我不得不说，我们中很少有人真正需要 8K 视频。你可能也有同样的想法。但 8K 允许你在后期进行大幅度的裁切和缩放，同时依然能导出 4K 视频。考虑到 GoPro 超广角的 156 度视场角（开启 HyperSmooth 后为 146 度），这一点尤为重要。即使你从不打算导出 8K 视频，后期裁切的能力也让 Mission 1 Pro 比大多数运动相机更强大。
Along with the higher resolution, you get much better slow-motion video in the Mission 1 Pro, which can shoot 4K at 240 fps and 1080p at a staggering 960 fps. Shooting at 960 fps allows for some remarkable footage that still looks very good, and plenty sharp enough for YouTube and web video. The catch, because you knew there was one, is that you can only shoot 10 second bursts at this frame rate.
除了更高的分辨率，Mission 1 Pro 还提供了更出色的慢动作视频拍摄能力，支持 4K 240 fps 和惊人的 1080p 960 fps 拍摄。960 fps 的拍摄效果非常出色，画面依然清晰，足以满足 YouTube 和网页视频的需求。当然，正如你所预料的，这里有一个限制：在此帧率下，每次只能拍摄 10 秒的短片。
The second major upgrade inside the Mission 1 Pro is the GP3 processor, which is responsible for many of the video and image improvements, including the new low light modes, high frame rates, and in-camera subject tracking.
Mission 1 Pro 内部的第二个重大升级是 GP3 处理器，它负责了许多视频和图像质量的提升，包括全新的低光模式、高帧率拍摄以及机内主体追踪功能。
