#WorthItOrNot #Insta360Go3sMyReview

[kenroberts]

It's crazy how powerful and small these cameras are getting now. 5 years ago no one would have thought you could get a 4k camera this small.

[DFWMoose]

Excellent analysis. I agree on the majority of your points and the ratio issue of 9:16 in vertical orientation is a pain but the 4K is worth it- minor hassle.

[fallbrn]

Just wanted to leave a comment and say that this is the best Insta360 GO review/comparison video I've seen. Great footage examples and I really like how you talk about the different FOV. I bought 3S but returned it for GO3 after watching this video since I didn't realise the there was a difference in FOV. Also GO3 has longer battery life and FreeFrame is better on GO3.

I had 360 go 2 and it stopped working after 2, 5 years. Thanks for explaining that 360 go 3 S, you can not auto rotate. I do not know why they disable this. Now I want to buy a new camera and I think I will buy Insta 360 GO 3 only.

I bought those wind muffs after your other video and wow they work great.

[joshwilliamson]

Great review and I love your side by side comparisons, it really allows me to see the differences. Since I don't have either, I would choose the Go 3s 4k for the reasons you mentioned.

[zombiegoatwheels]

Thanks much for the FOV comparison, and for covering other areas as well. Great review! 🫡

I'm watching on a 12.4inch tablet. I can't really tell that much difference between the Go3 and Go3s to be honest. Slightly better image quality and a bit better color science. I don't think I'll upgrade from Go 3. I'm might try watching again later on my 65 inch tv.

[SoundSpeeds]

I'm wondering how the 3S and Action 4 compare in low light. Very interested.

[Learnediting-ybcb]

I like the fact that it's so small and shoots 4k, but that 2.7k looks a bit better to me.

[jorowi]

In some lighting situations the 3S color looked washed out compared to the Go 3.

[psydoc]

Can you please comment on following parameters on Insta 360 3S (1) Low Light Performance (2) Image Stabilisation: especially in low light (3) Battery Life at 4K 50 FPS (4) Any issue of heating up? Many thanks.

[azriarif]

When tranfering 20min 4k vid. How about the battery consuming? Is that any significant drain? Means after tranfering, we need to recharge bfore use it again

[Peace__All_]

Can you transfer files via a USB cable directly from the camera to your laptop without using the Action Pod or app?

[ParallelCamper]

Thanks for the video. Can you use a wired external microphone with this camera?

[StirfriedGerman]

You'd probably need a much larger sensor resolution for auto-rotation in 4k with all the implications such as processing power, overheating and battery drain, so no surprise there. But I'm a snob too, the lack of 4k was always a no no for me. I really enjoyed the video, but how do you keep your weight under control? 🤣 That breakfast was 1800 calories, each munchkin is 90 and the sandwich 680. Sorry I'm food focused right now, just finished a 28 day water fast and lost 40 lbs, now I'm on carnivore diet.

Do you think the magnet is strong enough to stay on the side of a truck? Here's another use for the magnets, you can check for bondo on a vehicle 😉

Wonderful video, sir. Good choices of music as well. It made it a bit soothing while watching. I'm not sure what that even is, but that is the effect it had on me nonetheless.
