GoPro unveiled its Mission 1 flagship camera line, featuring 8K 60fps video and interchangeable lenses to compete with rivals Insta360 and DJI. The new system includes a 50-megapixel one-inch sensor and fresh accessories.

The Mission 1 represents GoPro's effort to reclaim market share in the action camera space, where competitors have gained ground recently.
