INON Announces ZD Front Mask for MISSION 1 Series
By DPG Editorial Staff, September 24, 2026 @ 10:00 AM (EST)

INON has announced a new ZD Front Mask—this time for the GoPro MISSION 1 and MISSION 1 PRO compact cinema cameras. Unveiled back in April 2026, the MISSION 1 series cameras are built around a 50MP (7,680-x-5760-pixel) 4:3 Type 1 sensor offering up to 14 stops of dynamic range. There are three models in the series: The MISSION 1 and MISSION 1 PRO have fixed lenses and are ready to dive, while the MISSION 1 PRO ILS features a Micro Four Thirds mount and therefore requires an underwater housing.

INON’s ZD Front Mask works with the GoPro Protective Housing for the MISSION 1/MISSION 1 PRO and makes it possible to mount a variety of INON ZD-type lenses. These include the underwater semi-fisheye conversion lens UFL-GR140 ZD, compact underwater semi-fisheye lens UFL-G140 ZD, and three close-up lenses: the UCL-G165ll ZD, UCL-G100 ZD, and UCL-G55 ZD. Also available is a ZD Front Mask for MISSION 1 Grip Set, which includes INON’s pistol grip for action cameras.

For pricing and availability, contact your local INON dealer.
