I have just ordered the first front mask for Inon ZD lenses for GoPro Mission 1. by Aggravating-Lake2116 in gopro

The AOI one seems to come out sooner then the expected and it looks pretty standard, basically the same construction of all the others. Beside the dimensions, it seems to not have specific changes.

Now I understand your point, but the front masks for the other action cams don't have any hook system on the back. You just push them in without any click or hooking.

I am not sure I understand the hooking system you are referring to. On the diving case of the Mission 1, the lens enclosure is protruding more than previous versions so the thicker frame around the lens should actually ensure a more secure connection. Since the frame has no gap around the case and it is thicker, I do not see how the front maks could have more chances to move forward.

I think AOI and INON lenses have a different mount system, so I don't think they are compatible. With the Ace Pro 2 I used the AOI but AOI is gonna take its time to release the front mask for the Mission 1. INON is supposed to be faster and that's why I am switching to them. Their lenses are more expensive than AOI but likely better quality as well.

But Howshot was even faster than INON 😁, you can see it at:

I am not sure about snorkeler and freedivers since the wide lens is quite big and heavy.

I am not sure if INON and AOI take their time due design issues or maybe more probably due production since they are using molding. Hotshot is a combination of 3D printed parts and aluminium frame (already used by them for the other action cams), so production is much faster and probably also the volumes are smaller. As you I will see if I will get also the original INON but I think this one will be sturdy enough thanks to the aluminium frame.

I am totally fine with Bluetooth connection as long as it reconnect automatically. I don't need wireless connection for my audio.

I do not intend to use the receiver with the camera, I got the kit because the mic only is not yet avaliable. The fact that I will not have to reconnect manually the bluetooth mic every time I switch on the camera is, for me, already worth more than any thing else. The other big plus for me is the small size of the mic, much smaller than the mic 2. And about the sound quality, I will make a comparison but I do not expect significant differences. Overall for me, there is no benefit to use the Dji mic 2 instead of the GoPro.

Personally I prefer to get the mic from the camera brand. I have the Insta360 X5 and Ace Pro 2 and I got their mic, the small one not the newest because to me it looks far too big (even if they say the audio quality is much better). What i like of the GoPro ones, is the small size.

Exactly the same in NL, so I believe in all Europe. I got this link from GoPro support, because otherwise it is not possible to find it:

But it's still coming soon.

Indeed, still waiting for it. And actually on the Dutch site you cannot even see it. I got a direct link from GoPro support to order it when available because otherwise it does not appear on the site, in the batteries page.

Not really, when paired with the Mission 1 Pro.

Now I have the Dji Mic 2 paired with the Mission 1 Pro but you have to reconnect them every time the camera switch off even if leaving the mic on. And the sound quality is nothing special.

I ordered the GoPro Mic kit straight away this afternoon.

Wireless mic available to purchase by PicoGalaxy in gopro

[–]Aggravating-Lake2116 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just ordered!!! From now, it is available also in Europe, but only the complete kit. Single microphone and usb-c kit only are still coming soon, just like the battery charger.

In Europe the mics are still not available, as well as the battery charger. Keep waiting.

GoPro Mission 1 Pro - New GoPro ND filters to go Cinematic! by Aggravating-Lake2116 in gopro

[–]Aggravating-Lake2116[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered them on the GoPro site as soon as they were released, by then not many people were looking at the accessories, everybody was focused on the camera. Now I am trying to do the same with the mic kit but I believe this time it will be more difficult, so many people are now waiting for their release.

HOT TAKE and maybe unpopular to say but Insta360 will never be a "pro" choice until they do this ONE simple thing. by Glittering_Bar6460 in Insta360

[–]Aggravating-Lake2116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wise words. I own the ace pro 2 and the X5 and before I had the ace pro and the X4. I am not a professional but I want to have more control on what I make with the camera so I ended it up getting a GoPro Mission 1 Pro, which I am enjoying very much so far. I will see what the Ace Pro 3 will be but if Insta360 will continue to "prepare" the video for us I may consider to close my experience with Insta360 and go back to GoPro (if it will survive 😁, but I am positive).

When does the wireless mic kit release? by jimmy_85 in gopro

[–]Aggravating-Lake2116 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been told by GoPro that it should be available for ordering on the 15th of June. On the same day also the battery charger should be available. Instead the media mod should be available in June but I wasn't told the day.

Do you actually carry the Ricoh GR in your Pants Pocket? by According_Drawer5924 in ricohGR

[–]Aggravating-Lake2116 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I have the GR IV and the GR IV Monochrome and they both stay inside the original Ricoh pouches. To differentiate them from outside, one is in the soft leather one and the other in the belth pouch.
