Insta360 GO 3S: Tiny camera, big upgrades

Insta360 has released the latest iteration of its popular GO series, the pocket-sized Insta360 GO 3S action camera. While maintaining the super-small form factor beloved by drone enthusiasts (perfect for mounting on FPV drones), the Insta 360 GO 3S boasts many impressive upgrades, including stunning 4K video resolution and enhanced waterproofing.

The Insta360 GO 3S is designed to be the ultimate ultra-portable camera, ideal for capturing high-quality footage on the go. Despite its miniature size, it packs a punch with several key improvements over the previous GO 3 model.

Here are the key upgrades:

  • Sharp 4K video: The standout feature is undoubtedly the ability to shoot in 4K at 30fps, delivering crystal-clear, detailed, and vibrant videos. Thanks to a new, enhanced chip with 50% more processing power and a new wide-angle lens, the Insta360 GO 3S captures double the number of pixels compared to the Insta360 GO 3's 2.7K resolution.
  • Effortless timelapse: A new Interval Video mode allows for completely hands-free shooting, perfect for capturing snippets of your day without ever having to touch the camera. Set the interval and duration of each clip, and the Insta360 GO 3S will handle the recording, letting you stay present in the moment.
  • Never lose it Aaain: The Insta360 GO 3S is now compatible with Apple's Find My network, so losing your tiny camera is a worry of the past. This feature is especially useful for outdoor adventurers who might misplace their cameras easily.
  • Dive deeper: With native waterproofing down to 33 feet (10 meters), the Insta360 GO 3S is an ideal companion for underwater filming. No need for an extra waterproof case, whether you're snorkelling or capturing poolside fun, the Insta360 GO 3S can handle it all.

 

The Insta360 GO 3S boasts a range of improved accessories thanks to its rugged, magnetic body that easily attaches to various surfaces. The included Magnet Pendant, Easy Clip, Pivot Stand, and Lens Guard allow you to mount the camera anywhere, from your shirt to your pet's collar, ensuring you capture every moment, however unique the angle.

Insta360 has also improved the camera's image quality with several new features:

  • MegaView FOV: This mode provides a more natural look with reduced distortion and straighter edges.
  • HDR with Dolby Vision support: Capture footage with greater dynamic range and enhanced details.
  • Slow-motion enthusiasts rejoice: The upgraded slow-motion capabilities allow filming at up to 200fps in 1080p or 100fps at 2.7K, resulting in ultra-smooth and dramatic slow-motion sequences.

 

The GO 3S is designed to make creating content as easy as possible:

  • Instant app preview (iOS only): Get a notification on your phone when your shot is complete and ready for editing.
  • AI-powered Auto Edit: Don't want to edit footage manually? The Insta360 app's Auto Edit function uses AI to combine your clips into an epic video, synced to music.

 

Upgrading to the Insta360 GO 3S from the Insta360 GO 3 is a breeze, as the Insta360 GO 3S is compatible with the Insta360 GO 3 Action Pod. The camera is available for purchase as a standalone unit or in a Standard Bundle that includes the camera, Action Pod, and various accessories. The Standard Bundle is available in two colours (Arctic White and Midnight Black) with pricing starting at $559.99 in Canada for the 64GB model. And if you have the Insta360 GO 3, you can pick up the unit on its own for $339.99.
