MISSION 1 Pro battery drain while powered off, overheating, and random boot freezes

Hi everyone,

I recently received my MISSION 1 Pro and I am having several concerning issues.

The camera loses battery even while it is fully powered off. At first, I noticed around 15% battery loss overnight. Then I tested it more carefully:

  • Wireless connections turned off
  • GPS turned off
  • Voice Control turned off
  • microSD card removed
  • camera disconnected from charging

Even with all of that disabled and no SD card inserted, it lost around 7% in approximately 55 minutes while powered off. During that time, the camera also became noticeably warm.

I also have random boot freezes. Earlier I thought this might be related to the microSD card, because the camera sometimes would not power on after being off for around 40 minutes unless I removed and reinserted the battery.

However, today the same thing happened again with no microSD card installed. The camera would not power on at all, and removing/reinserting the battery was the only thing that made it boot again.

I have already performed a factory reset and I will update the firmware, but this seems more serious than normal standby battery drain.

Has anyone experienced this combination of issues on the MISSION 1 Pro? Did a firmware update fix it, or did you end up returning/replacing the camera?

Thanks!
