I'd like to share my solution to the Mission 1's close focusing problem. I wanted something fast and easy to use that also worked with GoPro's ND filter set. Instead of making one adaptor and swapping the filters onto it, I designed a slim adaptor for each filter because I only intend to use this set of diopters with the M1 (they are very affordable). This allows them to be swapped quickly and I could print the focus range for each diopter. I am using the Vivitar 58mm diopter set. Here are the key advantages to this design:

  • Filters Thread onto the Printed Adaptors - making everything very slim

  • Friction Fit to the GoPro Lens - fast to swap

  • Printed Focus Range - in both American (inches) and Centimeters (whatever that is...)

  • No Vignetting (even in SuperView) - 58mm filter fully covers the M1 lens

  • Works with GoPro NDs - something the Macro Mod can't do

  • Works with the M1 grip case

  • Set Fits in Vivitar Pouch - easy to store every diopter with it's adaptor

  • Technically Waterproof - Although water could get trapped in-between the diopter and lens

Here are the focus ranges printed on each filter adaptor (I tested all of these with a focus chart; optimal focus will be in the middle of each range):

  • +1 - 15"-21" / 38-53 cm - Not sure I will use this one much

  • +2 - 9"-15" / 22-38 cm - Perfect for Vlogging, crisp face and some background separation

  • +4 - 5"-9" / 12-22 cm - Wide Macro, starting to get some distortion in the corners

  • +10 - 3"-5" / 8-12 cm - Close Macro (use W lens mode), lots of edge distortion

If you'd like this 58mm adaptor for something other than the diopters, I have a blank version also here: https://www.printables.com/model/1758079-58mm-filter-adaptor-for-gopro-mission-1-with-threa

  • I would recommend using PETG or PLA, ABS shrinks too much to nail the friction fit onto the GoPro lens.

  • 0.12mm Layer Height

  • 50% Infill 

  • Slow your wall speed to below 100mm/s

  • Single color version available for non-AMS printers
