The GoPro Mission 1 Pro ILS is the smallest mirrorless camera yet – but it’s so small, it can’t use lenses heavier than this without help

However, the camera body doesn’t have any electronic form of communication with the lens, which means electronically driven “focus by wire” lenses aren’t supported.
