SMALLEST 4k Camera - Insta360 GO 3S

Purchase the Insta30 GO 3S here: geni.us/qqZUBY1
Insta360 is back with an update we've been waiting for. We now have 4k video quality out of the tiniest camera. The GO 3S can shoot 4k 30 fps, has 128G internal storage, new shooting modes and more. In this video, I talk about the new features as well as a few suggestions I would like to see on the next GO 4.
NOTE: While insta360 did sponsor the video, they did not have a chance to edit, remove or change any of my video. The video you are watching is my completed video.

I am so glad that they kept the pod to be usable with 3s. Since I bought the 3 a month or so ago. Saves some money.

[@insta360]

Yes we are so back 🙌 Glad you liked the Quick Reader as much as we do, too!

[@WilliamWorford]

Scenario: Say you are recording with the camera out of the pod, and you use up all the battery in the camera. Can you put the camera back in the pod and keep recording without any interruption?

[@FlytPath]

@@WilliamWorford prior to the camera dying, if u pop it back in the pod yes it will keep recording.

[@avinashpadoti8684]

When you are releasing Insta 1 inch firmware update

[@PhannyObsession]

Here’s an idea. You could make a little charging ‘Dongle’ for the camera. Just a 6” USB C cable with a small attachment that connects onto the contacts at the back. Should be easy enough to produce them for a few dollars and sell for $9.99

[@user-sh7jq1ho8b]

@@PhannyObsession They will sell it for $19.99.

[@jonahkaiguam]

Wow that Go3S dynamic range with backlighting is awesome!!

Good review Aldrin

Brilliant sharing, excellent explanation of it options. Enjoyed this review. 👊👋✌️🇺🇸⚒️⚒️⚒️⚒️

It’s so good. Will be my first Go cam.

[@AjaySingh-228]

Insta360 GO 3S is tiny camera and shoots 4K that's amazing sir..Smaller size allows for more creative videos..I really love it sir

[@JeromeDemers]

damn the quick reader! thanks for sharing that! hope it works for Go3 since I have that issue weekly of having the camera full and dont have time to offload until I go to next adventure and dont bring my camera!

[@CuciWaterjet]

This video is amazing. you cant teach someone this way of creating content. its just in you. your timing, editing , info about the new features is perfect its almost like it was AI generated. i was about to sell my imac to get a insta go 360 3 to do pressure washing and RC vlogs on my IG but il just have to save up abit more and get the GO 3S cause of this video. i am truly grateful @insta360 sent you the go 3s to review or else this video wouldnt of have popped out! thanks alot bud!

[@JuanCamacho21]

Does it have the pause recording feature that the Ace Pro has?

[@Eccentech]

Good question

[@Ozpeter]

A good canter through the new features, thanks - but you didn't offer any low light samples or comments on that aspect. I have the Go 2 and the X3 - currently trying to decide whether to upgrade which? Or neither. Yes, very different tools for very different jobs but it would be great to see some picture quality comparisons between these two in due course.

[@FlytPath]

I’m coming out with another video with more samples, including indoor, low light, and comparisons with other action cameras. Stay tuned. I wanted to shoot more side by side before posting for a more comprehensive showdown in cameras.

[@Ozpeter]

@@FlytPath Looking forward to it!

[@FlytPath]

@@Ozpeter yup that’s one thing I want to make sure I give my audience and that’s a lot of sample especially in low light so stay tuned.

[@user-sh7jq1ho8b]

Low light image is poor, just like any other action camera. The best low-light one is ace pro.

[@Ozpeter]

@@user-sh7jq1ho8b I have just seen a very comprehensive review which gave several examples of low light video and it seemed to me to be much better than might have been expected.

[@txarchdroneguy4731]

Aldryn, I think it is time for me to consider the goes; thx for the review

[@kuya_timmy]

Is there much difference between the video you get between the 3 and 3s? Great video as always

[@StarWarsJay]

I’m looking for an action camera to use on a model railway layout for close ups and to stick on trains etc. This is perfect thank you. Hopefully the stabilisation is good as every little bump is magnified when doing extreme closes up and macro filming.

[@armando.visuals]

Quick question please: Does it have Gyro Data? not sure if i missed it

[@RonaldBrown59]

Finally 4k arrives to GO series of cameras from Instat360. And the new 3s looks slightly better than the 3, but probably not enough to upgrade. The pricing seems a little high, i wish they had a cheaper model, without the case. Great review, and thanks for sharing.

[@MrCejw]

They do a standalone if you already have a go 3.

[@user-sh7jq1ho8b]

@@MrCejw But without a Pod, how can firmware update to the standalone camera be done?

[@markr041]

​@user-sh7jq1ho8b The Go 3s camera works with the old Go 3 module housing. So you can just purchase the new camera alone if you have the old Go 3 and you have everything you need.

[@IanTed]

Just got one and I need that quick reader😬😉

[@omarortizytc]

na-upgrade ba yung image sensor? kamusta sya sa low light? nag oooverheat ba sya?

[@jacobhorton761]

Does it have a RAW mode for colorgrading?

[@THELIFEOFCB]

You can just purchase the module which is pretty dope that it works with the same housing ! 🎉

[@FlytPath]

Yes

[@connectwithkevin]

Have they fixed the overheating issues. My Go3 would overheat so the time.

[@garfieldmtify]

Add a wireless mic in addition to what you said for GO 4 would be welcomed.

[@rukman100]

Can I use a separate wireless microphone with this?

[@johnorton4418]

Dji action 2 vs go 3s? Which has better details?

[@FQ8]

micro SD reader compatible with the GO 3?

[@badimpulses17]

Can i access the 360 app on the Go3s stand alone without the hub?

[@AC-lt5ro]

Does this have the ability to pull raw files?

[@JeromeDemers]

oh video interval is like the GO 1. Something they could add to go3

[@bambangwidjaja8519]

What about its stabilization quality?

[@islandsnow]

Invisible selfie stick works on this?

[@rickrollrizal2747]

The battery though is making me hesitant. If there was a way to switch batteries, I'd buy it

[@uptowndisco2]

noticed you head looks more stretched on the 3s compared to the 3

[@airduce]

Please bring back the clamshell case!

[@uptowndisco2]

does the small camera charge when connected to the Quick Reader ?

[@FlytPath]

No.

[@FlytPath]

No it doesn’t charge. But it does need to be plugged into something like a laptop or the camera because it needs power

[@uptowndisco2]

@@FlytPath I wonder why they never gave it the ability to charge if it already needs plugged in to use ?

[@josephip5261]

I think there's a great advancement on video quality comparing to go 3🤔

[@TeeeJaay1225]

I bet they reminded you to not forget and include in the script the "sponsorship..." line 😆

[@FlytPath]

I bet not 😆

[@unlock-er]

is the lens swappable? (if or when it's scratched)

[@FlytPath]

yes the outer clear cover replaceable

[@DriftingSquirrel]

Who will tell me the pod battery life at 4K?

[@ChrisParayno]

Why switch, just do it in post

[@worldmikel]

Nice if GoPro would make a similar one with 60fps at 4k. Many of these Chinese cameras require a phone app that harvests info to send back to China. Without the phone, a user can't even register them or be availed of many of its functions.

[@geometerfpv2804]

Gopro is harvesting your data too with the GoPro Quik app, this isn't just a China thing

[@TeacherNickoy]

The problem with this camera is when the battery dies, the camera dies with it. Like my Go 2, when the power mount is sold out, it is now useless without the charging case. with the charging case, it is not useable, it is heaby.

[@TeacherNickoy]

not recommended.

[@GenuineArticle71]

My Go2 has a "Pro video" setting i always use, so no matter what orientation my camera is in that mode gives me FlowState stabilization, the option to adjust the aspect ratio during editing, and most importantly; horizon leveling. Is there a setting so that the Go3s standalone camera can be clipped to my backpack and regardless how my backpack is situated; right-side-up or sideways, the footage taken by the camera will remain smooth and horizon leveled? Also, my Go2 has haptic vibration so i don't need to look at a light or activate the beeping. Does the Go3s have that feature in the camera (not the action pod)?

[@FlytPath]

Yes freeframe mode and you can pick aspect ration after in post

[@xxphactor]

I wonder if I can use this as a dash cam?

[@AngeloPoulis22]

Always the same problem with insta360 and the reason I won't buy them. Backround looks in focus, face looks blurry.same as acepro.

[@apexvenomm]

in GO 3S 4k grains all around in the video.

[@WaynesWorldStudioVancouver]

Just bought it, battery does suck. Thinking to return it!

[@profitglen]

The GO 3 has better colors and audio IMO.

[@sibertiger17]

Great update bud...but I'm extremely pissed off...I just spent $600 on the Go3 a month ago! I'm getting real tired of companies following Apples money grab tactics of minor upgrades at full pricing in less than a year

[@joaquin_chua]

This is like the iphone 5s. If you want just wait for the go 4

[@FlytPath]

Camera will be sold separately and you can use your go3 pod

[@WillEDC]

You update every other then

[@WillEDC]

@@FlytPathcould you just use the camera alone and then buy a third party cradle to charge it ? I’m really not keen on the flip screen and bulky body I don’t use

[@bzdishekzapadlovsky]

There is no stabilization, so it is impossible for her to watch the footage.

[@uberacx]

For the price of the Standalone upgrade. It is too expensive. Add a little over a hundred, you can get the Ace Pro. Not worth it. Not happy. I bought the Go3 2 months ago

[@lunchtime2960]

Needs an sd card slot in the main module. Or at least the pod. Action pod should be waterproof. The quick reader "solution" is so dumb when every device should just have an sd card slot. If they put an sd card slot and a usb port on the camera i would consider buying.

[@badimpulses17]

Apple has no sd card slot. Guess there dumb too.

[@brownshoe72]

Your video is misleading because the new 4K model Files are so large and it requires so much compressing of the file when recording that the battery overheats in the unit shuts off. Additionally you’ll only get a 15 minute video before the battery is dead if it doesn’t overheat. And a 15 minute clip can be as large as 4 GB. When you use the application and download it to your phone it takes forever. And if it’s running on it’s on battery power you can forget about using the camera when you’re done transferring the file. You have to wait for the camera to cool down before returning it to its home base unit to be recharged Which takes additional time. GoPro is the very best; smaller files, better audio/ video, and it does not overheat and shut off while it use!!!!!!

[@FlytPath]

Thanks for your input. Maybe you’re using your go3s different than I am. Any other pros and cons you can share from your go3s experience please add them.

[@geometerfpv2804]

4gb is not large for a 15 minute file. At all. You must be using low quality on your gopro if it makes smaller files than that. What are you filming that requires a single massivr 15 minute shot? A single shot gets edited to be maybe 5 seconds in a finished video...just break up your shots more. There are compromises when you make a camera this small. All the cameras in this form factor have heat limitations, you just work around those limitations. If a gopro is fine, you arent in the market for something this tiny in the first place, so yeah, skip it. Its expensive.

[@w1llyFPV]

Unfortunately it will not be successful camera. 400EURO is way too expensive for such a camera in compare to gopro. Many people don't need this big case - it should be sell without it for 200Euro. But this - no. I hope that Caddx will make Peanut 2 base on this camera. Otherwise it make no sanse at least for me.

[@TechL1fe]

The GO series was never designed to take over traditional action cameras but people like to think it is. It's a different class of camera like the Pocket 3 or the X4 or GoPro Mini or the GoPro 360. It's an additional tool to your gear bag for shots which a traditional actioncamera cannot achieve. As for cost, well, who said any gadgets are cheap, look at the GoPro mini, riddled with problems, very little features, no display at $400??? but people seem to have no problems throwing money at it ;)

[@w1llyFPV]

@@TechL1fe well I think that you didn't see this camera closely. This camera tries to pretend gopro. Go 2 was this one what you are saying. I see the point of existing such small 4k camera but without this big chunky case with screen. I can say only from my experience and go2/peanut is perfect for my small drone, light waight, easy to edit with app. 4k would be perfect for me but not for this price. Gopro 10 naked is way much better and cheaper from this one. So that's what I think about it.

[@zbellman]

battery life went down. pass.

[@maxuzb]

Too expensive with 5 % new features
