Nobody on youtube reviewing the new Go3S mentions that it loses 15% of it’s wide angle focal length compared to the Go3. The Go3 has a 35mm equivalent 11mm lens while the Go3s has only 16mm. It’s still wide, but it’s significantly narrower field of view compared to the older Go3.

Thanks for the review Nick. As a recent GO3 owner I did wonder if I'd pulled the trigger too early but looking at the differences I don't think the 3S has created too much buyers regret. If Insta360 could have improved lowlight more I might have thought differently but I guess you'd really need a bigger sensor for that.

A video of using the go 3s in the go 3 pod would be appreciated. I am thinking of upgrading the camera only. Some questions i have are: 1) do you get all the same functionality?, and 2) can you somehow use both cameras still, with only one pod between them? Great video and appreciate the time and quality you presented us.

The Go3S being compatible with the older Go 3 Action Pod, is Game changing-
You can buy the Go3s Standalone and it’ll fit with the action pod perfectly 😮 so now u don’t need 2 action pods if you have 1

great video - really like your talking head setup shot, what camera and lens are you using for that?

[kylokev]

Great video Nick! Major props for buying this yourself so you could create a review versus the sponsored “first looks” of other channels. How is the low light performance? Does the improved dynamic range, higher recording bit rate, and 4k help in low light? I’m really torn b/t this, the Ace Pro, and Pocket 3. Each is SO different with unique strengths and drawbacks. I have an older phone that’s still good for photos, but I want something for video when out and about or on vacation.

Thank you for this review. It really helped me make a decision on the Go3S. Especially since a lot of your shots are in Melbourne, where I'm based, and its given me a lot of ideas of what to do with it.

Thinking about getting a few small cameras for recording live concerts, so I can mix the recordings with the ones from my two Sony A7iv. The venues are sometimes pretty dark…

Do you think that this camera would be suitable for that..? Is there a recording limit?

[LeidenPierce]

Is there any reason these new features like the interval mode couldn't just be added to the Go 3 via a system update?

[RMSFAM]

No pro mode? Like freeform? Where you record and select vertical or horizontal video later in post? Does the horizon lock while recording? Or will the video keep switching from 9:16 to 16:9 if you move the camera around?

[photographypainting]

Can the go3s camera be used normally when placed in the go3 expansion compartment? What changes are there? Are there any changes to the system menu settings?

[Scugnizzu]

Is the the body size is exactly the same? (Apart from lens bulge)

[MiroslavMates]

19/20 videos Ive seen today. Iam not biased by sponsoring, I just got the camera for free :D

Why slowmo is so bad quality? I mean because of what? Fir ex on iphone also 240fps is worst than 120fps so from what it depends on?

[davidfirth]

I get the popularity of black, but being an Engineer who spent 10 years working with data logger instrumentation that lived in the field in the blazing sun all day every day, there was a reason those instruments were all painted arctic white. So, I'm team white.

[GeesusBeam]

Insta360 is a bit scummy, first they release the White only GO3, now they release it with Interval with the GO3S.
Like why can't you update it to your old GO3? Or am I missing something.

[Skz]

Is the black version more likely to overheat rather then the white version

[Silversurfur]

What's the battery life like . How long can I record b 4 re charging chears

[AC-ltro]

Does this have the ability to pull raw files ?
