nice review but I have to put it out there... do NOT, do NOT, do NOT trust the sticky mount alone to attach this camera to a moving vehicle. it is NOT meant for that and you do risk the camera. get a proper car suction mount, they are inexpensive and available everywhere including from insta360.

You were being too nice. Tell us: max bits/second, maximum one-take recording time (ie 30 min? 60v), shoot indoors in studio, does it overheat? If long one take, does it save into multiple files or one big file (like iPhone)? Give us the negative info too! 😊

I bought mine last week to use for more candid videos of my kids. I also do e-mountain biking. This is my first action cam. It's fantastic! Only complaint is the beeping when turning on, I wish it had haptic feedback instead.

Very cool camera, I love the ability to capture quality POV footage via the hat clip. Thanks JSL!

Been thinking about this camera for a week now after watching Jared Polins showcase on it. Gonna peep this after my shoot today.

Thank you for the video you have convinced me to order one did not know all the great features it had goodbye GoPro 10!

It looks great! How is the low light footage? Would you say that it would be a good one to film inside malls? I know it’s a strange question but I’m going to start a YouTube channel where I’m walking around inside various malls. So not extremely low light, but a combination of skylight and indoor light. Or say, inside a grocery store or something like that? or a restaurant? Would this function fairly well in those conditions? For the record, I also have the GoPro 12 which is my first action camera, acquired recently for my birthday and I absolutely love it in good light and on sunny days, but things tend to fall apart when the light even fades just the tiniest bit.I’m also considering the Osmo pocket three but this little camera looks like a really awesome tool that can unlock a lot of creativity and has a lot of versatility. I would love your thoughts about shooting inside with it or filming in slightly lower light conditions with this camera. I was also considering getting the 360 ace pro but since I’ll probably be using this primarily for vlogging, it seems like that camera has a bit of a problem with close focus, even arms length… thoughts? Also to be honest, this Go 3S actually looks like the colors beat the ace pro! At least from the videos I’ve seen on YouTube.

This is a really interesting camera to use, because of how small it is. I'm a DJI Action 4 fan but this camera looks really fun to use, the only thing that I don't like is that it doesn't have sd card.

Fantastic review! Quick question: does it come with a button that says 'Make me look fabulous'? 😎📸

Does the camera stand alone vibrate when hitting record, and turning off record? This is my biggest problem with the standard GO3 is it just beeps, but in an action camera setting it's hard to hear if it beeped. Worst downgrade from the go2. But I might consider buying the stand-alone upgrade if it vibrates.

How long does the battery last with 4K 30?

I hope this hooks up to my dji mic 2 in the future

So is normal mode best for “depth perception” looking real? So many action cams something 10’ away looks 20’+. Looking for something with a real look and feel as to distance.

I like how you got straight to the point with the camera's features. Great explanation, thank you!

[adifferentperspective]

iphone? does it have android support or it's exclusively iPhone

[gimenaghilarducci]

Im so upset I have and works really bad, I’m so disappointed, maybe is something I’m doing wrong. Do you have any video how I can use from 0, something is wrong with mine 😭😭😭

[PearTreePictures]

your not going to say anything bad about this camera if you did you would not get anymore free gear

@ 4:55 i wish i *could* fumble around in the settings and turn that off/ disable it. Most of all, i wish Inst360 had designed this camera more like the Go3 and i could record with the camera in any position and have horizon lock with level 16:9 horizontal footage. With the Go3s, if i start the record having the standalone camera in a vertical position i am unable to later edit the Freeframe video in their app within the 16:9 ratio. That kills all my content recording. i don't wear hats for the clip and the pendant is janky when i attach through a thin t-shirt. Previously i placed the hat clip to my jacket lapel or bag strap in a vertical (most stable) position and record 16:9 footage horizon locked. Go3s: i am stuck with a 9:16 and i don't ever edit vertical videos so it super inconvenient and inconsistent.

not recommended because when the battery dies, the camera dies with it.
