I've been using the Insta360 Go 3 and X3 since they were released and now I'm pitting them against each other. They are different types of cameras with different capabilities, but like all other Insta360 cameras they are designed with some unique innovations that allow them to shoot unique shots.
In this video I'll take you though the design differences, shooting options, unique capabilities, side by side comparisons and the pros/cons.
Hopefully by the end of this video you should have a good idea which one you prefer.

INSAT360 GO3 vs INSTA360 X3

[@ironicanimations]

So, Go 3 = very tiny, fit anywhere, and can record very well and have the best stabilization in post-production X3 = one of the cleanest 360 videos ever, can still look very good even when scaled down, and can reframe the rotation of the camera in Post-Production, a whole 360° Spin!

[@AdventureHorseRidinginNYS]

This video was excellent and very much appreciated thank you for taking the time to do it

[@BTSARMYJIMIN13]

I wish I saw this video before I purchased.. I was debating which camera I should use.. I strongly wanted the insta pro 2 because my purpose was to just stick it on me while i take photos and show the before and after for tiktok ...but my dad insisted that i get the x3 for the 4k quality...i did more research and was convinced that its cool but wven now that i have it im still annoyed... because im not really a video person. All the complicated steps to make the video cool is just too much time that i really dont want to do...my focus is my photos on my dslr and i just want behind her scenes.... I can attach the 3x to things but its too big and not that subtle...i look like an alien and i feel like it will attract too much attention especially when im aiming for subtle candids... When i try to edit it, the quality is not that impressive. Exactly like u said, its for unique looks but that isnt really my purpose.. My purpose is for something small and easy for behind the scenes...i wish i watched this or listened to my gut. Like dont get me wrong, x3 is an amazing camera, what people do with it is pretty cool!! ....But its is not for me 🥴 usagewise. I just wanted to post my pov so others might find it helpful....Dont go for what looks the coolest...base your decision on usage.

[@9999klwo]

Thank you very much!! Just what i needed!

[@mayumic08]

Agree with this i wanted something easy to use and discreet while im travelling. With the go 3 able to detach is really useful i can just pop in a case with a handstrap is soo useful or even with the necklace it comes with. Love it!

[@tescoeverydayvalueraidflyw1154]

Are you interested in selling it?

[@LiliMellony]

L L

[@ralton7817]

Great comparison video, very informative, no one else goes into the detail you have shown. I was going to buy the X3 but the video quality isn't that great, both these cameras just don't capture the best quality video in any of their setting modes. The 360 camera for effects is great but is of no real use unless the video is clear and sharp, people just won't watch a blogger channel with lower quality video.

[@WalksInCamera]

Cool comparison. Just bought the go 3 128GB and also have the One R twin lens. I hope to use the go 3 for places I cant take my one R on a big stick for my walking videos.

[@Winmar]

This video is very useful and well made

[@annakissed3226]

The one thing I wished you had mentioned is storage space. With the Go 3 the storage is fixed at time of purchase Whilst afaik the X3 takes micros and thus the storage is effectively unlimited I was all set to buy a Go3 until I discovered the storage issue Currently I am keeping my powder dry for the replacement for the One RS 360 presumably the Two RS 360 which I hope will carry the 4 microphone & audio processing etc of the X3 along with 1" sensors unless of course Insta just jumps to a dual "1inch* X4 - which would be my preferred option. As you say Insta360 is currently lacking against latest sony/samsung/pixel/apple/Chinese phones. Perhaps we are going to see a Premium Instaphone???

[@YoutiaoVlogs]

For me I look at it different not needing to spend extra on memory. X3 need high speed pro carts

[@kennyadvocat]

ya can't believe the base go3 is only 64GB. All my cameras have had a 1TB memory card for many years now. Even my switch as well. =(

[@LukesLiife]

Really useful video! I am looking to purchase a GO 3 to capture some more "on the go shots" for my vlogs, especially for vlogmas! At the moment i use a Canon M50 which gives amazing quality but is a little too big for carrying around all the time.

[@Rice_W._Adobo]

Which of these two are better for driving?

[@UneditedRequiem]

It looks like the course was to good for my subscription to grab me a discount, but I loved the preview for it, and it looks like 360 filming has all sorts of creative freedom. Thanks for the comparisons. I'm leaning towards the X3. Is there a solid way to protect against submersion and impact?

[@The360Guy]

You can get 20% off the course with the code ULTIMATEX4 if you are still interested. Thanks :)

[@FurthermoreJack]

Oh yeah the Go3 editing time is WAY faster , there's too much with the 360x3 learning curve

[@Saramohamadi12]

Please, if someone has worked with Go 3, tell me if it is good or not. Especially about the battery and how long you can continuously filming with it.

[@keep-going]

Hi, l have a 360 X 2 and was wondering if the 360 go 3 can shoot in 360 as l see it has only one lens. Thanks in advance, Tony.

[@PJ-sv4iw]

It cannot. You need 2 lens on front/back to combine the image to a 360 field of view.

[@lakshan.johana]

Very helpful video! Thank you

[@christianjeffersontamang9857]

Hi. I just wanna ask, so insta360 go 3 does not have the invisible selfie stick? Thanks

[@redlightmax]

That's correct, because the Go 3 has only one lens, not two - even though it's made by Insta360, the Go 3 films in 180 degrees.

[@Dreamokaravan]

I will buy both😊😊😊

[@OliverJanotta]

I couldn't decide whether I should buy the X4 or the go3 - so I bought both... 😂

[@otakustation1010]

Its so satisfying to watch

[@ueki0078]

Great help❤

[@seb1things1]

Top man. Finally a great real and honest review. I guess I ll stay with my gopro 12 as I look for image quality more than 360 . Single lens mode is still not as good for a 4k. Go 3 is great but I ll get the dji action 2 as it can do most thing that go 3 do but at better image quality as it has 4k. Maybe next year we will have a 4k insta go 4 and than I ll get that. The 360 looks great but I guess now with x4 out……

[@katesupnet6240]

Please anyone can answer which one is better to take daily vlog showing the beautiful places while having toddlers? I love vlogging but sometimes im tired to always hold my phone especially when im with my kids. I wanted to buy go3 but i take long videos etc and if I understand the video the memory is less. Do both offer built in wifi or no?

[@softballfj]

If you don’t want to stress about achieving good angles and keeping up with the children I’d say x3. Plus I feel toddlers are more likely to try to remove and lose the camera from the GO

[@phonomenonnn]

if I have gopro. Shoul i buy X3 more than go, right?

[@ShazlanAmirulHasan]

Personally in your case, I'd buy x3

[@Peperklip]

I am thinking of buying one of these, but i am afraid like if a am taking the go 3 in a rollercoaster or somerhing it wil fall out. Is the x3 better to choose?

[@yp8839]

You can attach selfie stick to Go3

[@reosptm883]

Thank you

[@njc2981]

I can't decide which one i should get so i ended up getting both cameras😂

[@caffeinefix2751]

how do they compare?

[@namesurname7332]

SOLD

[@MrTrazz09]

Insta is fond of unconventional form factor of its cameras..

[@GAZA2492]

So my friend I have the insta 360 x3 should I update to the go???

[@OmniFilm-dk8ox]

I bought both and travelled with them I will say the X3 hands down is the best between those two The stabilization on the Go 3 is horrible and the video quality is not there without it.

[@ZolikaSabo]

@The360Guy when or would you make comparisons video between #Insta360 one x3 and #labpano #pilotpano 360 camera?

[@kylefredeluces]

what filter did you use on go 3?

[@sibaroochi]

How is footage transferred out of the go 3? Is it mainly over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi? Is there a microSD card ? If it's used on long trips can video be offloaded to an iPad for example

[@waldo-ot6ul]

No SD card

[@themanwithdahelmet]

Ace pro munches both !

[@rfsalad4118]

Not sure if they would be any good in warm weathers like 30+ centigrade.

[@yp8839]

No issues

[@atbpetc5794]

I'll go for Go 3 because I don't like to be seen in my vlogs 😂

[@user-sk4nt5bm5r]

Yea, that is not mentioned in the couple of comparison videos I watched. The X3 is all about shooting yourself, while the Go 3 is shooting something else.

[@UrdnotAkongo]

@@user-sk4nt5bm5r Well it's mentioned here. You can use the X3 in single lens mode as if it's a Go 3. The only difference is size

[@FurthermoreJack]

The 360 has 4k

[@theyatravlog9211]

Right

[@markmywords3817]

I'm torn between the 2 because I don't like selfies but I want the memory card and batteries to be swappable.

[@FurthermoreJack]

Go black you can actually grip it better

[@JSAUC3]

They both do 360 camera? What would you recommend for racing

[@justinw9421]

Only the X3 is 360

[@mark7gti125]

X3 bro

[@worldchampion]

Liked and Subscribed the beautiful of you❤

[@JSAUC3]

You can’t do the invisible stick on the go3?

[@yp8839]

Nope

[@babyandromeda8762]

Is x3 good for gym videos?

[@The360Guy]

depends what kind. You'll always be in shot which is good. Make sure it's bright in your gym.

[@babyandromeda8762]

Yah it’s bright in the gym which has better quality x3 or go 3? I already have main camera but I want some b roll with x3 or go3 does both have log profile?

[@softballfj]

I think it depends if you wanna move you camera for each new position with the GO or just sit it in a central location and let the 360 catch you. From every angle

[@oneshotGamingMY]

insta 360 go 3 cons i think the build in battery and storage for a long term use still not buy Go 3 because of that. MAYBE GO 4 🤔

[@waldo-ot6ul]

Do you want to wait that long for a go4 to come out???

[@CrispyJacketStudios]

1:26 suppository’s?? 😂

[@darkminatozaki]

insta 360 looking like 360p quality. so sad.

[@banhabatibo1801]

❤❤❤❤

[@ismailkhamis2557]

2:34 your phone still ok?

[@The360Guy]

it survived lol

[@SuperRob41]

i have both lol

[@problemslayer3538]

Apparently the go 3 has terrible image stabilisation

[@dadffeewff1421]

damn there's even not one single shot made with x3 that has no issues and the single lense quality it's veeery bad, worst than my 10 years old phone

[@HotKooks]

You plug your nose under water? Why do you review action cameras? 😂
