Insta360 GO 3S Overview
Updated to enable UHD 4K video recording and 2.7K slow-motion capture, the arctic white Insta360 GO 3S Action Camera expands upon its predecessor while maintaining the same miniature form factor. Voice Control 2.0 technology, a 2.2" flip touch screen, an image preview on the Action Pod, dual microphones, and longer battery life are among the features of the GO 3S. This edition features 128GB built-in flash storage, and it allows you to control the camera, preview your video, and then export the content to your phone via a companion iOS/Android app via Wi-Fi. The GO 3S is so small and light that you can wear it around your neck, clip it to your collar or skateboard, let your pet run with it, attach it to your dashboard, and much more to capture action POV content.
Tiny Powerhouse
A tiny camera weighing only 1.4 oz, the camera can be mounted, hung, or attached anywhere for ultra-wide POV shots in high 4K resolution in various aspect ratios for compatibility with a variety of web and social media formats.
Video and Still Capture
Insta360 GO 3S captures video, audio, and photos internally to 128GB of onboard storage. When connected to your phone, GO 3S videos will be auto-transferred via the companion app. Standard video is exported in UHD 4K, 2.7K, or 1080p resolutions. The free companion iOS/Android app can also be used for various remote functions, as well as intuitive auto-editing of your video recordings.
Stabilized Footage
Video is captured with built-in Insta360 FlowState 6-axis gyroscopic image stabilization to smooth out your recordings.
You can record slow-motion video at either 2.7K at 100 fps or 1080p at 120/200 fps. Utilize 360° horizon lock to keep your video set on the horizon, no matter the action.
Creative Effects
The GO 3S provides several built-in creative effects, including TimeShift to mimic speeding up time and space, PureShot HDR Photo to expand your dynamic range for vivid colors, slow motion for dramatic shots, and Time-Lapse to create fun day or night lapse shots.
Voice Control 2.0 and Upgraded Audio
Unlock the power of Voice Control 2.0 with GO 3S, which allows you to capture memorable moments in an instant with a single command and stay fully hands-free.
Record audio with the two built-in mics or even pair your AirPods. The GO 3S captures vlog-ready crisp, clear, and immersive audio from all around you.
Rain or Shine
The camera is waterproof down to 16', and when used inside the Action Pod, the GO 3S is IPX4 water-resistant.
Innovative Action Pod
The camera inserts into the Action Pod and provides a way to connect the camera to auto-transfer videos and photos to your smartphone app or to macOS or Windows computers.
It also now features a flip-up 2.2" touchscreen display to view a preview of your captured image and manage settings.
The GO 3S features a 1270mAh battery that can shoot for 38 minutes at a time. When paired with the Action pod, you can record for up to 140 minutes.
