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

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

[Winmar]

This video is very useful and well made

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.

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.

[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!

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.

[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.

[annakissed]

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 phones.

Perhaps we are going to see a Premium Instaphone???

[FurthermoreJack]

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

[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?

[Rice_W._Adobo]

Which of these two are better for driving?

[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.

[christianjeffersontamang]

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

[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?

[phonomenonnn]

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

[Saramohamadi]

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.

[njc]

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

[ZolikaSabo]

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

[GAZA]

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

[OliverJanotta]

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