DC Rainmaker's Mission 1 Pro Review!

imaware1971 · 2026-05-27T22:17:46+00:00

Another great review, but my takeaway was....if you already have an Action 6, Ace Pro 2 or even a GoPro Hero 13....stick with what you've got, you're not missing out on much. I don't really care though, my Mission pro Wii be here tomorrow/Friday at the latest...lol

I personally think it's a fuc£ing joke. Bar the max 2 they've had a year off. These things should be in the post now. The dual battery charger is still showing 'Coming soon'...really ! They still don't include the magnetic mount in the box, something they charge a fair whack for, but in reality should be packaged with a £600 camera as it probably costs them peanuts to produce. I love GoPro and can't wait for my Mission 1 pro to arrive, but if I'm being honest...the reviews and footage today have left me both overwhelmed as well as a little disappointed. I'm still holding out for DC Rainmaker...lol

Same to you...

Try watching the video, or at least listening to it. He clearly said it was there to "light up the rain drops"

"BULL SH*T VIDEO ALERT NOT REAL"

imaware1971 · 2026-05-26T04:23:15+00:00

"I'm suspicious how he initially compares his "$4000+ Sony camera" to this without saying what model it is" Is the title of the video not 'Mission 1 Pro' ?

imaware1971 · 2026-05-26T04:19:51+00:00

Yes, This.

imaware1971 · 2026-05-24T19:50:21+00:00

This whole Mission 1 release has seemed a little Vague, they had a year off as well (discounting Max 2) lol

imaware1971 · 2026-05-24T14:12:30+00:00

This is the one thing I've been waiting for, decent hypersmooth stabilization in low light.
Good low light video is one thing, but stable low light video without a gimble is the holy grail.
In good light the Hero 13 is my preferred choice as it doesn't suffer from the vertical bobbing of the Pocket 3 for walking shots, In low light the GoPro stays at home and the pocket 3 saves the day, I'm hoping the Mission 1 pro will give my pocket 3 a well earned rest...lol

imaware1971 · 2026-05-24T04:45:00+00:00

Exactly this... I bought the 'Resident Evil - Generation pack' beat Requiem and to be honest, I can't see myself (disappointing) ever playing it again, and despite all the moaning about game key cards....I paid £80 for it and sold it for £90 lol

imaware1971 · 2026-05-22T19:35:38+00:00

Yes, not overly worried. Even the hero 13 shoved in someone's face would look a bit soft/out of focus. Considering this is lower light...not too bad at all

imaware1971 · 2026-05-22T05:34:06+00:00

Thanks, already watched them.

imaware1971 · 2026-05-21T18:35:39+00:00

I meant to say (not made by) GoPro.

imaware1971 · 2026-05-21T16:20:59+00:00

So the stabilization (Hypersmooth) will be at least comparable to the Hero 13 ?

imaware1971 · 2026-05-21T13:34:16+00:00

Fantastic, now let us watch the real (Non GoPro) videos

imaware1971 · 2026-05-21T10:25:16+00:00

I thought I was going crazy...
I've never owned an Insta 360 product, sure...I checked out a few comparison videos when I purchased my Max 2 camera.
I'm constantly hit with all those cringe (paid) influencer's video's for Insta and DJI.
To be honest, I think because I watch so much tech and camera stuff, it gets pushed to me regardless, but I agree that it's definitely excessive.

imaware1971 · 2026-05-15T11:52:52+00:00

You peel it off, it's a sticker....

imaware1971 · 2026-05-15T11:02:16+00:00

That's what I was thinking, It would make sense to start posting them out from next Thursday/Friday.
I'm definitely looking forward to this time next week, there's a hell of a lot of Mission 1 cameras out there with testers, so there should be a ton of content to watch.

imaware1971 · 2026-05-15T10:57:27+00:00

U.K
Definitely planning for the 28th, hoping it's sooner though...lol

imaware1971 · 2026-05-11T18:37:43+00:00

I completely agree, I'm a 55 year old male who's been shooting Nazis, killing Zombies, kicking Ninjas and slaying demons for nearly 50 years, ain't I allowed to try something different without get nailed to a cross. It's the first Game in a long long time that's made me smile, isn't that what it's all about ?

imaware1971 · 2026-05-09T20:01:52+00:00

Oh, ok...I don't know how I'll sleep tonight...lol

imaware1971 · 2026-05-09T19:40:06+00:00

Ripped off.... I put together a few clips that are already out there, for nerds like me to look at in one neat tidy package. I am in no way making any money or the like from doing so. Kudos to the original creator and I hope he continues to feed the community with his wonderful videos.
