Camera company Insta360 today announced the Insta360 GO 3, a tiny action camera that builds on the ultra-portability of its GO 2 predecessor and comes with an Action Pod with a flip-up touchscreen.
The Insta360 GO 3 weighs 35g and has an aperture of F2.2 and a focal length of 11.24mm. It can capture photos in INSP and DNG formats and record videos in MP4. You can take photos with Insta360 GO 3 in 2560×2560 (1:1), 1440×2560 (9:16), 2560×1440 (16:9) and 2936×1088 (2.7:1) resolutions. Videos can be recorded in 1080p, 1440p and 2.7K resolutions at 24, 25, 30 and 50 FPS (2.7K does not support 50 FPS).
Insta360 GO 3
Insta360 GO 3 has three video recording modes: pre-recording, loop recording and timed capture. The Timed Capture mode is interesting. It lets you schedule GO 3 to turn on and start recording at a specific time, so you don’t have to wake up from your deep sleep early in the morning to capture the sunrise time-lapse.

There’s also a FreeFrame mode that lets you change the aspect ratio of your footage after shooting, allowing you to record a video for upload as an Instagram Reel in 9:16 aspect ratio or a YouTube video in 16:9 aspect ratio.
With Insta360 GO 3, you can also record slow motion video at 120 FPS in 1080p resolution.
Insta360 GO 3 has a 6-axis gyroscope and is equipped with FlowState stabilization and 360 Horizon Lock to shoot videos without tilting or distortion, even in action-packed scenarios. The camera also features dual microphones for recording movies with clear sound.
The Action Pod, which features a 2.2″ flip-down touchscreen and weighs 96.3g, connects with the Insta360 GO 3 via Bluetooth for real-time remote control and live preview. The GO 3 can also be controlled via voice commands for hands-free operation .
The Action Pod is IPX4 rated and packs a 1,270mAh battery that draws power through a USB-C port up to 100% in 65 minutes. The GO 3, on the other hand, is IPX8 rated and comes with a 310mAh cell that takes 35 minutes for a full charge. The GO 3 is advertised to have a runtime of 45 minutes, which increases to 170 minutes when paired with the Action Pod.
Insta360 GO 3 is compatible with Android and iOS devices. You can check the full list of compatible devices on the Insta360 website.
The GO 3 is offered in a single white color and its retail package comes with a magnetic pendant, Easy Clip, swivel mount and lens protector. Optional accessories include a monkey tail mount, a 2-in-1 mini tripod and a screen protector. It has three storage options: 32GB, 64GB, and 128GB, priced at $380, $400, and $430, respectively.
