I really like the unique and creative shot you made with GO 3. Looks very cool and my GoPro cannot make that shot.

[TheMahaMousa]

Subscribed after this honest review. Thanks 🌹

Thank so much dude. I was fan of the insta Go from the first generation due to the size and "inconspicuousness". Quality never where much of a issue for me. But altough I am a fan I was very much not a fan of the agressive and overtly positive youtube campaigns insta pulled of with 3. I still have ONEX2 and 3GOS but I very much appreciate a no bulshit review. And thats what I got with you. Cheers.

Here's another use case. As a result of an accident, I'm now living with quadriplegia. I've tried clipping a hero nine to my chest strap, but I can't see what it's pointing at. With this light little camera, I can clip it to my ball cap and get a preview From the pod. That way I have point of view when I turn my head rather than just shooting at whatever my chest is pointing at. And I can start and stop recording with voice commands like I can with a hero 09 – but the latter has a crappy mic and rarely hears me if there's any Road noise. I plan to sit the pod on the tray on my lap so I can monitor what I'm looking at. 🇨🇦♿️

And 2months later - 4k is here in same device

I think the flip screen on the GO 3 is an absolute game-changer!

[conradk]

Thanks for this 'real' review. The poor low light is a bummer. I have an Action 2 which has decent low-light but it's not a primary camera IMO because of the very wide field of vision. (Makes a great alternative-look shot though.) The audio on the Action 2 is first class. Speaking of... I wanna see a video on how you are recording and processing your audio. A before and after audio would be cool.

Great review, I was unsure on whether to buy the go3 now or wait for go4 but thanks to your realistic review, I've decided on waiting to see whether go4 will have 4k or better frame rates or not, if not then I'll go with gopro or dji cameras.

[cjtouhey]

Yeah I thought the same about the paid sponsors on Youtube. All the links to discounts online show they are in Kahoots and probs get a small cut per unit sold or at least links clicked.

[vasilikib]

This review helped me overcome buyers remorse as I wait for my Hero 12 😌

[workerJB]

thank you for the honest review, i want mine for short content of my dog grooming and dog training bussines, but the low light is rmake me think a litlle more

[thebetterbuy]

Dude the audio here is great. Love that. Thanks for the tip to look into ai for audio.

[sumanth]

i am buying this camera today can you suggest which colour is best ??

[skylargreyjuly]

Thanks for the honest review! but it's a bit hard for me to agree with some points you mentioned. I have multiple action cameras, but Go 3 is the only one I regularly take with me for hiking and running. The form factor is just unique and convenient- easy to mount and carry. POVs are good quality enough for me and I play with their AI editing templates a lot.

A guy on the Insta360 Go 2/Go 3 Facebook page says there will be an announcement for a 4K Go 4 in just a couple of days. Anyway, I got my Go 3 for just a few things, specifically after visiting London (whilst visiting from Canada) and being fascinated with the huge, very long escalators coming from the 'Tube', deep underground. I wanted to use my Lumix LX100 at the time, but a lot of the commuters (on opposite escalators), looked kind of tired and irritable, so I decided against it. But with the little Go 3 (I have the black one), I can likely do it, without feeling as though I might be getting on anyone's nerves. I may also use it while walking through the airport and just simple, brief things like that. But my main camera (for walking around Central London or in the English countryside) will be my DJI Pocket 3, and possibly my Sony a7C or Insta360 X3.

Audio is excellent but doesnt fit the outdoor setting, sounds like you are at home on quality mic vs a camera mic

I am able to attach it to my 3 year old and have her run around without her even minding. It’s been worth it for me just for that. For other stuff, I get better video from my iPhone 14 Pro Max.

[manzerasobrado]

how many gb will be consumed in 45 minutes of video streaming?

[italiangspot]

One thing I hate is the button .. too easy to start and stop recording, made me miss some important shots. Also on Go3 they removed the vibration on start and stop. I love the size and have the go2 but on fence about upgrading. I was looking into DJI action 2 but since that camera is released 2021 and still at $299 price tag seems over priced. They are keeping it at that price point because they just upgraded internal memory to 128gb. Any other small footprint cameras ? The action 4 and other GoPro sizes are just to heavy and large to strap on young kids.

[bonboninbali]

Upgraded from go 2 to go 3 and honestly, I'm not looking back. Missing out on 4K isn't ideal, but the addition of the screen is everything for me. It's super handy. No regrets.
