Check out the Insta360 GO 3S here: bit.ly/3KGWMOC
In today's video I share how i use this tiny little camera to film all of my running content here on KZbin and Instagram. I've been using Insta360 GO camera's for the last 2/3 years so I can confidently say this update, the GO 3S is the best action camera I've used (Now with 4k, longer runtime and 200fps slow-mo). If you have any content related questions please feel free to drop me a comment.
ASPIRE TO RUN, RUN TO INSPIRE
Disclaimer: This camera was sent to me by Insta360 for the purpose of review however all my thoughts and opinions shared are very much my own. This is a product I genuinely use daily so this was a great opportunity to share hopefully some insight into how.

Great video Ben. Love getting the perspective from a runner. I like running with my Go 3 because it’s so light and I can just point and shoot. 👍🏼😀📸

Nice informative review Ben but you ought to state off the bat you were given the camera in the video rather than expect people to read links/description or watch upto the last 10 seconds.

Looking for a video if the 3s filming a parkrun with other runners thinking of getting this camera for this purpose... Yet to find a video of this just the older version of this camera...keep up the great content your inspiring alot if people including myself.

I really like the look of this Ben and a great review by the way 👏 I didn't see the stick as an option on the website 🤔 As a cyclist, as-well as running, I hope they sort Wahoo integration soon for data overlays as that is the only thing from stopping me making a purchase 🙏

Hey Ben! Love the review, looks like something that would really be useful for what I’m filming. I Just started filming my training for my second marathon, and am hoping to go under 2:30 for my marathon. I was wondering if you have any advice for a training plan/content creation?

Given this was sent for free and there are affiliate links, more of an ad than a review no? Certainly not an unbiased review. I know this is the norm on the Tube these days, I just always appreciate transparency.

For sure, totally respectable point…as the description reads “This camera was sent to me by Insta360 for the purpose of review however all my thoughts and opinions shared are very much my own. This is a product I genuinely use daily so this was a great opportunity to share hopefully some insight into how.” The video also clearly has displayed on screen “this is part of paid promotion” inline with KZbin policy so by no means intending to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes 🫡

@@BenIsRunning You describe it as a review but it's an advert. You have a relationship w/ Insta360 so how can it possibly be an independent review? Many KZbinrs think their subscribers are daft.

Its probably why people generally appreciate the likes of Ben Parkes more in terms of reviewing anything since he buys everything with 100% of his own money, whereas its a mixed bag elsewhere. Not saying it would happen, but if Ben Felton gave a really bad review of Soar or Adidas, do you think they'll send him free gear again in the near future? 🤔

I just started running again after a brain injury, unfortunately on the running track there is a guy who rides his motorbike and has almost wiped me out a few times, it is illegal, today I went to film him and he hurled abuse at me and told me he'd get me next time. So it made me think what can I do for safety. Obviously him thinking he's being filmed got rid of him, then i thought what if I was accosted and again was filming and told them or actually waas live streaming my running, then rather than needing my phone to get the video, there'd actually be live footage so saved evidence and possible help if needed. Any ideas on that?

Hi Ben. When you were talking about vlogging you said you would use the insta. But I noticed a restricted depth of field in the shot. That one would not normally get with an action camera. What were you shooting on at that point? Thanks

@BenIsRunning 3 ай бұрын

That shot in this video is shot with my mirrorless camera which I use for all my sit down style shots. I’d need some bigger biceps to use that as a vlog camera 😂

@BenIsRunning 3 ай бұрын

In terms of vlogging, I’m talking about when I’m genuinely walking around/on the go where the portability for me outweighs say deep of field but will change between the two given the situation

I’ve been using these for marathon and just replaced my go2 w the go3s- they used to have pro mode. What do you shoot in while running?

@NicolasWollesen 27 күн бұрын

Can I ask how you film them? Reason I'm asking is that the camera without the pod "only" has 45 minutes of battery life.

@RunningPodcast 27 күн бұрын

@@NicolasWollesen Yes, so I never record clips longer than 15 seconds. I feel like we switch footage every four seconds anyway, so what’s the point, that was just bore everyone. Doing it this way the go 2 Would last me roughly 4 or five hours outside of the pod, with recording maybe 20 or 30 snippets. Now, With the go 3S, I’ve had it out of the pod for six hours, recording just as many snippets, and still have 25% left.

@NicolasWollesen 27 күн бұрын

@@RunningPodcast Thank you so much. Exactly the info I was looking for. And how, if I may ask, do you practically do it? Is it a special mode or do you just quick capture and stop it again after 15 seconds?

@RunningPodcast 27 күн бұрын

@@NicolasWollesen I set it on 2.7k at 30 frames and ultra wide. I wear it on my visor and all I have to do is push the capture button once. Unlike w the go2, the go3s does not record in pro mode (that’s a con in my opinion as the pro mode allowed you to reframing (and deciding whether you want vertical or horizontal)) so you have to pay attention whether you’re holding it vertically or horizontally prior to pressing the capture button. Since I use it for YouTubing the horizontal on the visor is fine . But when I take it out to capture myself w it you gotta make sure you know whether you wanna use the clip for KZbin or a reel (horizontal) but you get used to it!

How would you compare the footage to the insta360 Ace pro? I use that camera for my videos and I love the footage but it’s a lot harder to carry compared to this camera! I would love to hear your opinion, thanks!

@BenIsRunning 3 ай бұрын

I’ve only used the GO range from insta360 purely because of its portability for me in races. The quality as hopefully you can see is definitely a step up but can’t compare to the ace pro as haven’t used that product :)

@KyleBarger 3 ай бұрын

@@BenIsRunning Thanks for the reply! I totally understand the appeal of the GO range for portability, especially during races where every bit of convenience matters. Your footage looks impressive, and it’s great to see that the quality is a step up. I might need to try out the GO range for those times when carrying the Ace Pro is just too cumbersome. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing your insights!
