Insta360 GO 3S 128 GB Black 4K Camera

So I purchased this a month ago and have had a lot of fun with it. This was my first experience with action cameras and I think this was performed great. The tiny camera shoots in 4K for about a half hour by itself and even longer with the docking pod that works as a camera charging station, a control hub, and camera viewing screen. The accessories that it comes with are the charge cable, unscrew-able lens guard, magnet pendant and hat clip that allows POV (Point Of View) chest and cap mounting, and a magnetic (and metal safety clasp) pivot stand with a reusable adhesive base that you can [temporarily] stick to surfaces. Video quality is great with the resolution going up to 4K at 30 FPS (Frames Per Second). But I noticed this tiny camera gets pretty hot while filming, and it does not last for very long without a charge. Other cons I noticed is that it doesn’t sound good in the wind, as there is a lot of wind noise (even with a wind muffler), and the low light visibility is not that great but honestly I don’t fault it for that because of what it is and what it can do. So what can it do? Well, the biggest pros I can think of off the top of my head are that it can fit in small spaces and the camera itself is waterproof. This leaves millions of opportunities for new ideas with access to new places to film from, like taking weird camera shots to improve creative content. The docking pod is not waterproof, but no biggie; I don’t always need to use the docking pod when filming with the camera anyway, especially since I don’t intend to swim with it. Besides, there are other cameras better designed for underwater usage. In conclusion, this goes above and beyond what I originally thought I needed it for. The accessories allow fantastic flexibility in usage, and improved performance with the Go 3S. They enable it to be more than just a camera, but an experience with limitless opportunities abound. Sure it may not have a big sensor for good low light visibility or perform better than any of the flagship cameras to any standard, but I do not expect it to. I like it because of its size and what it does for me. Together with the ability to create new and interesting content and not to mention the user-friendly editing app, I am expressly satisfied and feel encouraged to explore with my Go 3S. What’s more is that I fully intend to get more Insta360 accessories and to seek out their future product releases. This was my first action camera experience and from it I can wholeheartedly recommend this product for photographers, content creators, vloggers, or any picture artists that are looking for something unique to tinker with.

I’ve had the previous 3 Go cameras and this one is my favorite (obviously) now. I have the 128 GB version in black and the 4K footage is pretty good. Slow motion footage is good too.

This is a great tiny camera getting for unique shots that you normally couldn’t get with a normal sized camera. It is magnetic so you can mount it to anything metal. The 4K resolution is a nice touch, and it being water proof is really cool. I can think of all kinds of ways I can use this thing for my social medial content.
I do wish they included a carry case to protect the screen on the main housing from scratches when traveling in my bag though.
It also comes with a few accessories for mounting the camera to yourself, and it can be used as a webcam fairly easily too. Very cool camera!

The Insta360 GO 3S is hands down the best action camera I’ve ever used! It takes everything that was great about the GO 3 and pushes it to the next level. The enhanced video quality, now up to 4K, makes every shot look stunningly sharp and vibrant. Whether I’m hiking, biking, or just exploring the city, this tiny camera delivers professional-level footage every time.

The new AI editing features make creating dynamic clips so much easier. I love how the Smart Track keeps the focus locked on my subject, and the Auto Frame feature ensures I get the best angles without even thinking about it. It’s like having a personal editor in my pocket!

Battery life has also been significantly improved. The GO 3S lasts much longer, which is great for extended adventures. The upgraded Action Pod with its responsive touchscreen and longer battery capacity is a fantastic addition. Plus, the ultra-stable FlowState stabilization and horizon leveling guarantee smooth, perfectly aligned footage, no matter how fast the action is.

For anyone who wants a compact, powerful, and smart action cam, the Insta360 GO 3S is the ultimate tool. Whether you’re a pro or just starting out, this is a must-have!

You need to know what you’re buying. Do your research as it different in the way it works from go 3 and all previous ones. I have bought it knowing exactly of it’s limitations in a free frame mode and I’m delighted. Quality is great. But what makes the go series stand out is the size and mounting options. I have uploaded a short video of me paddling the loch with my daughter. Even though I angled the camera a click too low it still gives that first person perspective which is to cumbersome with regular action cams. This was just clipped to my hat. And it’s 4k. And app is phenomenal. The only improvement I’d like to see is transfer to my phone over the cable, yeah it’s fairly quick over the air but 4K files are not small by any means
