Summary
00:20 to 05:30 — the GoPro Mission 1 Pro kept shooting a 4K overnight time-lapse long enough to run slightly past sunrise, forcing the final second to be trimmed for overexposure.
A 1-inch sensor and larger battery underpinned the test, with the camera set to capture 8MP frames every minute at a 20-second shutter speed while also assembling a video.
The resulting stills showed strong low-light performance for an action camera, though the stars were not perfectly sharp and some shadows were lifted to reveal lakeshore detail.
The run time marks a notable gain over earlier GoPro night-sky setups that often needed an external Volta battery tripod, suggesting the new model can handle longer astrophotography sessions unaided.
