Is This the Most Versatile Action Cam Ever? Insta360 Go 3 Review

The all new Insta 360 Go 3 is a remarkable collection of innovative features in an unbelievably small package. Featuring both the smallest and lightest action camera on the market and a detachable "action pod" that enables remote control and viewing of the camera, as well as recharging the camera when its locked in, this wholesale upgrade solves all the issues of the Insta 360 Go 2 and delivers a truly innovative action camera.

I spent the last few weeks testing the Insta 360 Go 3 in the field, on the bike, on camping trips, and on the highway and my Insta 360 Go 3 review is overwhelmingly positive, but there are a few downsides to this tiny action camera as well. No 4k shooting, no external mic support, and no memory card slot are the negatives in my otherwise very positive action camera review.

With a magnetic backing and versatile mounting options (including several mounts in the package) the Insta 360 Go 3 is a great B camera for content creators or a primary action camera for amateurs just looking to capture their everyday adventures.

Finally, some good trail riding content 😎 glad you enjoyed using it!

Great run down of real world use. Didn't sound sponsored or fanboyish at all. Kudos! Also, from a moto vlogging setup, there is a guy who uses the Go 2 and a separate audio recorder on the bike, his channel is Marc Travels. I personally am too lazy to sync audio, but I guess there is always a work around.

I like the free frame. Being able to use footage for both horizontal and vertical video is clutch in content creation.

Nice. You’re on top of the tech stuff. I was just wondering about this camera. Thanks for reviewing!

I dropped GoPro a few years ago and switched to Insta360 cameras and have been very happy with both my OneRS for helmet mount and the One X2 for motorcycle mount. They just work and have never failed me. I wished the desktop app was easier to work with but I use my iPad most of the time anyway. Any fine tuning for Youtube vids I use Final Cut Pro until @insta360 can compete with it. As an aspiring/new ADV rider I enjoy your content!

seems like they fixed one of your complaints with the addition of the quick reader accessory, great review as always.

[OverlandTravelAdventures]

Please do a video on your complete setup.

[ChrisLoomisDirtFlix]

great review thanks... i just ordered mine yesterday and got the 128 version

[mkramsauer]

That's awesome brother 👊 seems like a really nice setup

[John_Ridley]

I'm glad GoPro has some solid competition the last few years. I've never owned a GoPro that I was happy with. Others, even the cheap Chinese cameras, at least were reliable, I never had any glitching, lost files, corrupted SD cards or overheating problems, all of which I had with GoPros. GP had the stabilization better than others but that seems to not be an issue anymore. I don't own any GPs anymore, I have a DJI and some Insta360 cams and they're all solid. I'll have to check out the Go 3.

Just bought one for my upcoming PDX to Canada and around trip.

[pinkiewerewolf]

Seems like a great B camera. Thanks for the look and information.
I bought the One RS but haven’t figured out a mic set up for the helmet.

[magnusb]

Clicked the link to support your channel and buy one but unfortunatly they only had the 64Gb versions. Guess they sold out on 128Gb and I have to wait.

[KillerSpud]

It's all insta 360 today all over YouTube.

[advgo]

Very cool! Nice review and information! So the mount mag is the same as Osmo Action 3?

[scottlazar]

great review. My ever frustrating GoPro jumped off my bike on my last trip, whereabouts unknown. This will replace it and improve my ability to share my riding with my non-riding friends. One question, what Alpinestars jacket are you wearing and what are your thoughts on it?

[SlowishActual]

You going to be headed out to the Black Hills this July?

[rockyrode]

@Dorkintheroad
Can you pls strap this to your head when you are working on trail clearing etc around your property? Extra content.

[advmike]

Agreed on it being a good B Camera. The pod as a controller/monitor seems pretty cool.

How fast does it download footage compared to a UHS-II card?

[dring]

what is your primary camera? what one are you taking to grizz bait?
