GoPro invented the motion digital camera, however for the reason that first Hero digital camera got here at the scene, competition had been chasing and now and again surpassing it. The corporate is taking a look to modify that with a brand-new line of top of the range motion cameras dubbed Undertaking 1.
The brand new line of cameras is composed of the Undertaking 1, Undertaking 1 Professional, and Undertaking 1 Professional ILS. All 3 function a bigger sensor with 8K video, advanced low-light efficiency, as much as 32X slow-motion photos, and 50-megapixel nonetheless photographs. The Professional ILS makes use of interchangeable lenses in line with the Micro 4 Thirds mount.
Low-Mild Undertaking
The Undertaking collection makes use of a brand new 1-inch sensor, via a ways the most important sensor in an motion digital camera so far. The brand new sensor, mixed with the GP3 processor GoPro introduced previous this 12 months, must give the Undertaking 1 cameras higher low-light efficiency, a space the place GoPro has struggled in comparison to competition like DJI and Insta360.
GoPro is claiming the brand new sensor provides a dynamic vary of as much as 14 stops, which competitors full-frame mirrorless cameras. This will probably be additional helped via the to be had 10-bit GP-Log2 capturing mode, which maximizes dynamic vary and lets in for customized coloring in postproduction.
The brand new sensor and processor in combination can shoot an excellent vary of video, with resolutions as much as 8K at 60 fps for the Undertaking 1 Professional/Professional ILS fashions, slow-motion 4K video at as much as 240 fps, and 1080p HD video at as much as a staggering 960 frames according to 2d (this ultraslow mode can simplest be shot in 10 2d bursts). The bottom style Undertaking 1 is able to 8K 30-fps video with slow-motion modes at 4K 120 fps and 1080p 480 fps.
The Undertaking 1 and Undertaking 1 Professional use an up to date lens design with a 159-degree box of view, making it the widest same old lens on an motion digital camera. By way of comparability, the Hero 13 Black lens provides 156-degree view, expandable to 177 levels with the Extremely Large Lens mod.
The Undertaking 1 Professional ILS might be essentially of pastime to skilled filmmakers, however the Micro 4 Thirds lens mount opens up capturing probabilities no longer in the past conceivable with an motion digital camera. Whilst the sort of setup, with a big lens, cage, exterior track, and different add-ons may make the Undertaking 1 Professional ILS into one thing rather then a standard motion digital camera, it is going to be a lot smaller and lighter than maximum cinema cameras whilst last able to 8K photos on a slightly massive sensor.
The Undertaking 1 collection will get a brand new Enduro 2 battery, which GoPro claims is able to 3-plus hours when capturing 4K 30-fps video, and just about an hour capturing 8K, which will probably be an excellent step up for battery lifestyles in GoPro if true. In a pleasing contact, the Enduro 2 battery will paintings with the Hero 13 Black as smartly. (The opposite may be conceivable, because the older Hero 13 Black Enduro battery will paintings with the Undertaking 1 cameras.)
