Product Information

Two of the most important presets here are labeled "Video" and "FreeFrame Video," the latter of which removes all stabilization and in-camera cropping. This preset is best used by those who plan on using the Insta360 app for video editing. The Insta360 Action Pod is a housing, remote control, and charger for the Go 3 camera all in one unit. The Go 3 fits into a slot on the front and connects with the Pod using Bluetooth — that means that the Action Pod can control the camera even if it’s not actively attached. The Go 3 boasts a variety of advanced features that set it apart from traditional action cameras. One of its standout features is the “Auto Editing” mode. Using artificial intelligence, the camera identifies the highlights of your video and automatically creates an engaging montage, perfectly synced to music and ready for sharing on social media. This is great time-saver for people going on vacation and doesn’t spend too much time on editing long videos. Android devices with Snapdragon 845 and above chips, including Samsung Galaxy S9, Xiaomi Mi 8 or newer models.

Following in the footsteps of the GO 2, the new GO 3 also comes with a charging case, or “Action Pod”. Separate the two and the Action Pod becomes a wireless remote control for the camera, offering a live view video feed and a range of a few feet. While we’d have liked the range to be a little more generous, this remote aspect is a killer feature, and saves you having to use a smartphone running the Insta360 app for the job (although that remains an option). This camera can do both videos and photos, but since I fly drones, what I really care about is taking videos. There are two main video modes, Video and FreeFrame Video.The GO 3 alone offers enough battery to last 50 minutes, with the Action Pod, you can expect 150-170 minutes of battery life. Recording at lower resolution (or using photo mode) will give you longer run time. The Action Pod is still functional while charging, so if you plan to shoot timelapse for example, you can leave the camera connected to a charger or power bank. Conclusion: Is the GO 3 Ideal for FPV? With the exception of slow-motion video clips (all shot at 1080p/120fps), which are always shot in 9:16 ratio, you can flip between 9:16 portrait and 16:9 landscape framing at will, without having to physically rotate the camera. It’s pretty much a must-have feature for a camera like this these days, what with the popularity of 9:16 content on social media, but not all manufacturers have cottoned on; Insta360 certainly has. A tiny cam means easy mounting! With its magnetic design and accessories, GO 3 gives you endless creative possibilities, with angles no other camera can handle. Think pets, helmets, or a fly-on-the-wall shot! Not sure where to plug something in or how to turn up the volume? Here's a diagram to help you out. After testing, phones equipped with Qualcomm SDM765 5G chips have poor hardware decoding capabilities and are not supported for use, such as OPPO Reno 3 5G.

Insta360 GO 3 – The World’s Smallest Action Camera

The GO 3 boasts FlowState 2.0, a digital image stabilization feature built-in to smooth out your footage and minimize camera shake and vibration. There’s hope for Gyroflow compatibility in the future since the camera can also record gyro data, but at the time of writing it’s not compatible yet. The Go 3 offers three levels of stabilization, each coming with a description to help you choose the most appropriate level for your needs. However, if you’re using the camera on an FPV drone, it’s advisable to turn off the stabilization feature and apply stabilization when exporting the footage from the camera. Audio quality is another area where the GO 3 stands out, delivering acceptable sound even from a distance. While it may not match the audio quality of a GoPro, the camera’s stereo and directional microphones make it well-suited for vlogging or outdoor activities. An added wind reduction feature also comes in handy when using the camera for action sports. User ExperienceInsta360 also provides a wide range of accessories for this camera. Each box includes not only the camera but also a startup guide, a USB-C charging cable for powering up and transferring footage, and an assortment of useful accessories. Key among these are a magnetic pendant, an easy clip for attaching to the brim of a hat, a charging case (action pod), and a pivot stand featuring adhesive on the bottom. The real meat and potatoes of the Go 3 is its video capabilities. When the camera is set to Video mode, you'll see a readout on the bottom left-hand corner of the Action Pod LCD that shows what aspect ratio, resolution, frame rate, and stabilization level the Go 3 will record at. Tap this banner to head into the settings dashboard for these four items. (You can also swipe up from the bottom of the touchscreen to bring up this menu). For one, both the Go 3 and Action Pod tend to get a little toasty. I thought this might just be during video capture, but even when idle, the gear was warm to the touch. And yeah, I get it: small camera, small battery, lots of data to process. I guess my concern is how much of a power drain an overworked Go 3 and Action Pod could be in the long run. Could this affect processing power? That's hard to say, although I'll admit that my own Go 3 rig was snappy and responsive when starting and stopping a recording. My other concern is overall stabilization. Bye-bye bumps. Our signature FlowState Stabilization means seriously steady footage. Shakes, bumps or rolls are removed—perfect for when the action gets rough! Do you see the "Q" button on the side of the Action Pod? Press this to pull up the Go 3's photo and video presets. (You can also get to this preset dashboard by just sliding left or right on the Home Screen). Here you'll see options for time-lapse photography, HDR picture-taking, slow-motion recording, and several others.

For FreeFrame videos, stabilization is applied during the export process (using the mobile app or Insta360’s computer program) and cannot be specified in the camera. Charging and Battery Life Surface Go 3 is the most portable Surface, perfect for your everyday tasks, homework, and play. Get to know Surface Go 3 The Go 3 has a built-in 310mAh battery that will get you around 45 minutes of recording time, with an additional two hours of capture supplied by the Action Pod (based on a 1080p/30fps trial w/ Wi-Fi and screen turned off). Based on my experience with the camera, I would say these numbers are pretty accurate, although there were a few instances where off-Pod recording tended to cut off around the 35 to 40-minute mark. That being said, I was shooting at the highest resolution/frame rate during most of my camera tests, because I wanted to see how long the cam could hold its own at max settings. The Go 3 supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, offering you the convenience of remote control and speedy file transfers to your smartphone or tablet. No hands Camera. Go completely hands-free! Simply set it and forget about it for easy, ultra-wide POV shots in 2.7K.Please note that the GO 3 is marginally larger than its predecessor, the GO 2, so older accessories, including 3D printed TPU mounts, might not fit. Another shared feature is voice command support, enabling easy control of the camera without needing to physically interact with it. The additional 1270mAh battery in the Action Pod extends the camera’s battery life to up to 170 minutes. You’ll also be pleased to know that the Go 3 is water-resistant up to 5 meters (IPX8), so you can film in the rain or even underwater without a worry! However, the action pod (charging case) has a lower water-resistance rating of IPX4, meaning it can only withstand splashes. GO 3's bigger battery shoots for 50% longer than GO 2!
