I hope we get footage from the Mission 1 Pro soon (not only the ILS)

The ILS is a super cool product and and I'm glad it exists, and it seems like it'll be capable of capturing some amazing footage.

That said, one thing I've loved about GoPro videos over the years is the feeling of "maybe I could capture this too". Now with the ILS, we’ll be seeing lots of footage that can be drastically different from what almost all users will actually be able to capture. This is coming from someone who has licensed footage to GoPro in the past and owned multiple versions over the years, and I've pre-ordered the Mission 1 Pro which I plan to mostly use for action sports (skydiving, scuba diving, skiing, etc).

Outside of film sets and semi-pro creators, almost no one will be setting up their GoPro like this https://imgur.com/a/NcfHg1l

If the launch video is 95% ILS footage with expensive lenses and gimbals, then IMO it would be pretty misleading to what most of us will be able to capture or film.

I hope we see some dedicated footage from the non-ILS cameras soon, or the launch videos have a small caption or description of which scenes were filmed with which camera setups.
