Finally a review that is not a script.

[ckao]

About the best review for this camera I have seen on YT. Some key points, like not able to see the recording when the battery on the base is depleted, the limitation on the horizon lock angle in standard mode, etc., were not mentioned elsewhere. Really appreciate your work! Subscribed!😂

Finally couldn't resist the temptation and upgraded to GO3S from GO3. Here are some initial findings: 1.The neck pedant is much better now, the wedge is gone. The cap mount is now magnetic so I can tilt the while firmly fixed on the neck pedant. This reduce the need for freeframe video. 2.The side of the detachable camera body now has a grooved design so it is less slippery to hold on to. 3.The video quality of the 4K/30 is great so far. This is a fun b roll camera. I won't use it for any serious photo shooting so it does the job. 4.The Freeframe mode is limited to 4:3 instead of 16:9. Something you must be aware of if upgrade. 5. The camera UI seems snappier overall. The GO3 wasn't slow by any means. 6.The sticky stand is now improved. Slimmed down and has a cover flap that cannot be removed so you won't lose it. I am not sure how secure it is comparing to the old one with the detachable (losable) sticker cover.

the best video review of this product after watching 20 different reviewers. What a gem! battery life. you are spot on

[TomNguyen]

Finally someone who tested the battery life on the small unit itself. Thank you!

[pairojvejchapipat]

Great review. I have GO 3 and just bought GO 3S because of the additional features: 4K, Tilt Fix, Gesture Control, and Interval Video. This is a great everyday video camera for family and casual vloggers.

I was getting tired of all the sponsored reviews so I'm really glad I subbed to you awhie ago. Everyone would just simply say they didn't experience something instead of actually testing it

[SKOVDEPETE]

Thanks for a great review. Years ago I bought a GoPro Hero 5 that I never fell in love with, since it didn’t fit well in my pants pockets and I ended carrying so much extra equipment it became a hassle and seldom used. I bought the insta360 go2 a few years back and I must say it was amazing. Especially this summer I used it together with my 10 year old granddaughter swimming and paddling on SUPboards- She learned to hold it and film underwater. Of course I was glad she didn´t drop it, only the tiny camera to hold on to. 2 weeks ago I bought the insta360 go3s and am updating on accessories. I am glad for 4k naturally and love the screen as compared to the go2 version, never really trusting it if it was filming or not. EASE OF USE should be the main reason to buy an insta360 go3s in my point of view. Using an action camera ”in action” gives very seldom time to ”compose” . And here is where the insta360 go3 excells. PRESS THE BUTTON and ACTION ! 🙏😍😍😍

The option of choosing between horizontal and vertical when shooting sounds like a good thing but if you're a user of the previous versions of this camera being able to choose the orientation after recording is an even bigger perk which is lost with this camera. choosing after you record means you can use the same video for different uses (YouTube long form and shorts, IG reels and YouTube etc).

[solotraveler]

That Quick Reader is too expensive. Thank you for this realistic review. I received mine yesterday (June 20) and am looking forward to giving it a test drive. I never use vertical so I'm hoping I can disable that orientation - I want horizontal even if the camera is vertical.

It'd be nice if there was a plugin for and editor like DaVinci Resolve so you didn't have to use the Insta360 software to edit freeframe. That way you don't have to re-encode / compress the video several times to then port to an editor. Losing footage quality per generation is something every editor tries to avoid.

[JeromeDemers]

plusieurs commentaires,
@7:42 using the pod is not the only wait to charge the camera, you can now use the new quick reader to charge.
@9:01 the low resolution playback is the secret sauce of insta360, they record 2 files, high and low video, this make it super fast to transfer wirelessly to the pod and most importantly the phone app. Have you notice you dont need to downlaod the footage to your phone to edit? gopro needs to downlaod high resolution video to your phone to start editing.
@12:46 you can buy the camera alone and only use the new quick reader to charge, transfer and I believe you can control its settings with the app. Ok I tested with my go3, without the pod and it works.

Damn, that test footage is impressive. They made some solid upgrades with the camera quality and low light performance. Great review

[itsjorgeochoa]

Good review, you could do a comparison of the FreeFrame in the GO 3 vs GO 3S to see how much is lost when changing from 16.9 to 9.16 in the app. It would be of great help for users since it is not talked about much and it is a big change in the 3S version, a shame because the FreeFrame was what I liked most about the GO 3. Thanks!!

[KarlRock]

Great review. I appreciate you showing the body mounting options.

[mariusdeffosoh]

Clear, simple and straightforward review. Awesome. Keep it up.

[tilapiah]

The Go3 didn't have the locked landscape mode depending on camera position and I didn't about the difference until after I finished my first trail ride with the Go 3s and my whole ride was in portrait lol. Next time I'll know.

[michaelbuddy]

I suppose the answer to the problem of the action pod running out of battery and not working is to use your phone with the insta360 app or using the Older GPS remote (not the new one with preview screen). That way you can change setting at least. And I guess with the app you can see the video preview too.

[CaliforniaFrank]

THIS is the review I was looking for! Thank you Otto!

[markok.]

3:45 Why there is osmo pocket in mirror? Also 8:02 in shadow seems more like osmo pocket than insta go.
