GoPro Launches Close-Up Filters That Add Cinematic Depth of Field to MISSION 1 and MISSION 1 PRO Cameras

Close-Up Filter and Close-Up Filter Set, Made by PolarPro, Are Available Now Globally at GoPro.com

SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, GoPro, Inc. (NASDAQ: GPRO) announced three new close-focus diopters that make it easy to add subject separation and background blur to any shot. Made by PolarPro from durable, optical-grade multi-coated glass that maintains the sharpness and color accuracy of the shot, the transparent filters slide over a MISSION 1 or MISSION 1 PRO camera lens or ND filter and use static focus with no adjustment required. The look draws the viewer's eye straight to the subject, right out of the camera.

Since launching earlier this year, the MISSION 1 Series has earned 14 top industry awards from 12 leading news, lifestyle, consumer technology, photography, and outdoor publications.

Customers have the option of a standalone filter or a three-filter set:

• Close-Up Filter (PolarPro +0.5 Diopter): A low-strength, everyday diopter that adds a touch of cinematic flair to close-up shots. It's ideal for vlog-style content, lifestyle footage and travel shots, or anytime creators want to subtly define the subject and create a tighter, more flattering frame with background separation. The +0.5 strength strikes a balance between cinematic and authentic, with a softened background blur that looks polished and intentional but still natural. The focus range begins at 19.6in (50cm) with a far focus distance of 59in (150cm) to maintain versatility.¹
• Close-Up Filter Set (PolarPro +0.5 / +1 / +2 Diopters): A set of +0.5, +1 and +2 strength diopters that create a range of close-focus effects, from subtly polished to dramatic detail and just the right amount of bokeh. Simply increase the diopter strength to increase subject separation and create a shallower depth of field in the shot, while storing unused filters securely in the included travel case.
  • Focus distances are:
    • +0.5 diopter: 19.6in (50cm) to 59in (150cm)¹
    • +1 diopter: 17.7in (45cm) to 35.4in (90cm)
    • +2 diopter: 11.8in (30cm) to 19.6in (50cm)² 

Both the standalone Close-Up Filter ($49.99) and the Close-Up Filter Set ($99.99) are available now globally at GoPro.com. Both are compatible with MISSION 1 and MISSION 1 PRO, as well as MISSION 1 PRO Grip Edition, MISSION 1 PRO Creator Edition and MISSION 1 PRO Ultimate Creator Edition, and are backed by PolarPro's Adventure Assurance™.
