GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS Waterproof Camera Housing System

Waterproof Housing for the GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS — Built Around the Lens, Not the Camera The GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS is weatherproof, not waterproof. The Outex Entry Kit changes that — giving you patented, professional-grade waterproofing to 10 metres / 33 feet while preserving full operational use of your camera and whichever Micro Four Thirds lens you choose to shoot with. Trusted by award-winning photographers, filmmakers, and content creators in more than 50 countries since 2010, Outex is the professional standard for universal waterproof camera housings — backed by a 4.7/5 satisfaction rating from a worldwide community of creators. This kit is configured specifically for the MISSION 1 PRO ILS and its MFT lens mount. Select the front glass port size that matches the filter thread of the lens you’ll be using (printed on the lens barrel), and Outex will ship the correctly matched optical glass port with your cover. Designed for the ILS Form Factor The GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS is smaller and more compact than most mirrorless and DSLR camera bodies. When installed inside the Outex flexible cover, you’ll notice some additional cover material around the body — this is by design and does not impede operation in any way. The flexible cover conforms naturally around the camera and lens, and the extra material simply folds and tucks without affecting: Touchscreen viewing and full touch control above water Access to the Camera Control button and all side/hard buttons Lens operation and manual focus control The optical alignment of the front glass port with your lens The Outex architecture wasn’t moulded around one specific camera body — it was designed to accommodate the full range of camera shapes and sizes. The MISSION 1 PRO ILS fits naturally and securely within that system. Match Your MFT Lens to the Right Optical Glass Port Unlike hard housings that place a fixed viewport in front of a predetermined lens position, Outex front glass ports attach directly to the filter thread of your lens — the same way a photographic filter does. This means the optical glass port: Moves in unison with the lens — there is no gap or fixed housing between the port and the lens. When you zoom or adjust focus, the port moves with it, eliminating internal reflection and refraction between the housing and the lens element. Is matched precisely to your lens diameter — select the filter thread size printed on your MFT lens barrel (e.g. 46mm, 52mm, 58mm, 67mm). If your lens uses an adapter or step-up ring, use the outer filter thread size of that ring. Uses patented optical glass, not acrylic or plastic — optical glass is the same material used in the lenses themselves. It delivers superior clarity, contrast, scratch resistance, and colour neutrality compared to polycarbonate or acrylic viewports used in most competing housings. The result is that the port becomes optically continuous with the lens — not a compromise in front of it. Common MFT lenses compatible with the GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS include the Panasonic Lumix 12-35mm f/2.8, Olympus 12-40mm f/2.8, Panasonic 7-14mm f/4, Leica DG 8-18mm f/2.8-4, and others. Check the filter thread size printed on the front of your chosen lens and select that size at checkout. Not sure? Choose “Other / I don’t know” and we’ll contact you to confirm. What’s Included in Your Entry Kit Outex Entry Cover (universal, flexible, patented, waterproof to 10m/33ft) Front optical glass port — matched to the filter thread size you select at checkout Optional: add wrist or neck straps at checkout for hands-free transport and added security in the water. Entry Kit Features Waterproof to 10 metres / 33 feet Patented optical glass front port — not acrylic or plastic Port attaches directly to lens filter thread for zero air gap and zero internal reflection Full touchscreen access above water; hard button control below Compatible with any Micro Four Thirds lens that fits the MISSION 1 PRO ILS mount Works in surf, rain, snow, sand, mud, and dust Lightweight — adds no meaningful bulk to your kit Trusted by creators worldwide since 2010 — 4.7/5 satisfaction rating Upgradeable to the Pro Kit (see below) Available Add-ons Dome Add-on Kits — recommended for ultra-wide MFT lenses (below 14mm) and split-level / half-over-half imagery Additional Front Glass ports for other lens sizes in your kit Step-Up Rings — if your MFT lens has a filter thread smaller than 49mm (e.g. 37mm or 46mm), a standard step-up ring adapts it to any of Outex’s industry-standard port sizes (49mm and above). Outex ports use universal filter thread standards, so any quality step-up ring works seamlessly. Simply select the outer (larger) thread size of your step-up ring when choosing your port at checkout. Storage & Care Kit Straps (wrist or neck lanyard) Extend Your MISSION 1 PRO ILS Setup with External Monitoring and Recording Pair the GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS with the GoPro Media Mod to create a more advanced underwater monitoring and recording setup. With a compatible HDMI, USB-C, or wireless connection, an external device such as a smartphone or digital recorder can be housed inside the Outex system alongside the camera and used for visibility (viewing screen), settings controls, recording, etc. This gives you new options for professional underwater production, including: Adjusting settings from an external device Monitoring the camera’s video feed while shooting Recording to a compatible external device Keeping connected equipment protected inside the housing while working underwater Outex is designed as a flexible, modular system rather than a single-purpose camera shell. Add the appropriate Accessory Kit for external cable or tethering configurations, or add tripod-mounting hardware when you need a more stable platform for fixed shots, monitoring, or controlled underwater production. Both wired or wireless capabilities remain possible inside the Outex housing/cover since the wireless signals can still travel inside the case between the devices; GoPro Camera, Media Mod, Phone, or Recorder. The touchscreen is still operational above water through the Outex cover, but limited underwater due to water pressure. Underwater control can be achieved using hard/trigger buttons. With the right combination of cover, ports, pass-throughs, mounts, and accessories, Outex can grow with your workflow, from a compact underwater camera housing to a professional, modular imaging system for surf, rain, snow, dust, travel, and underwater environments. Media Mod, connected devices, cables, and recording equipment are sold separately. Confirm device, connector, cable, and depth compatibility before use, and operate within the published rating of your complete Outex configuration. Below is an example from Nikon Ambassador Lucas Gilman using an Atomos Recorder connected to a mirrorless full frame Nikon Z camera for Pro Res native recording, using the Atomos recorder for media storage and control. “Not sure which combination of ports, pass-throughs, and mounts you need?

Consider the Pro Kit The Entry Kit is an excellent starting point — but if you want the full capability of your GoPro MISSION 1 PRO ILS underwater, the Outex Camera Pro Kit goes further. The Pro Kit adds a rear optical glass panel behind the camera body, which enables: Viewfinder and rear LCD screen viewing through glass — not fabric Crisper, clearer display visibility underwater for manual focus and composition Full access to all rear controls and menus A more complete optical glass system front and rear Over 80% of Outex camera customers choose the Pro Kit for this reason — it’s the most complete waterproof imaging system for cameras that need full rear display access.
