GoPro released the Mission 1 Pro, a compact 8K cinema camera, in Japan on May 28, 2026. To promote the launch, GoPro Certified Ambassador and video director Arata Fuko'e directed a special video featuring Raiko Enbu Kaguzuchi, a fire performance group that specializes in combining traditional fire arts with LED and laser effects. The shoot placed a bare GoPro unit extremely close to the performer while staff in protective gear managed safety. Kaguzuchi's own strict safety standards and operational system allowed the crew to capture sparks and flames at close range without risking the camera or crew. The resulting footage uses the Mission 1 Pro's 1-inch sensor with 14-stop dynamic range and 4K 240fps slow motion to record each spark in high detail. Kaguzuchi Co., Ltd. also offers one-stop support for video production, including location introductions, camera setting advice, and costume coordination for fire-based shoots.
