Another shared feature is voice command support, enabling easy control of the camera without needing to physically interact with it. The additional 1270mAh battery in the Action Pod extends the camera’s battery life to up to 170 minutes. The touchscreen is prone to scratches, it’s a good idea to get some screen protector before you start using it. Personally I am not going to bother, but if you want to sell this camera later down the road, it’s probably a good idea to do everything you can to keep it in good condition. Get screen protector here: https://amzn.to/3PyD3Ei How to Use?

This camera can do both videos and photos, but since I fly drones, what I really care about is taking videos. There are two main video modes, Video and FreeFrame Video. The Go 3 has a built-in 310mAh battery that will get you around 45 minutes of recording time, with an additional two hours of capture supplied by the Action Pod (based on a 1080p/30fps trial w/ Wi-Fi and screen turned off). Based on my experience with the camera, I would say these numbers are pretty accurate, although there were a few instances where off-Pod recording tended to cut off around the 35 to 40-minute mark. That being said, I was shooting at the highest resolution/frame rate during most of my camera tests, because I wanted to see how long the cam could hold its own at max settings. Surface Go 3 is the most portable Surface, perfect for your everyday tasks, homework, and play. Get to know Surface Go 3 Bye-bye bumps. Our signature FlowState Stabilization means seriously steady footage. Shakes, bumps or rolls are removed—perfect for when the action gets rough!

One major upgrade in the Go 3 is its extended battery life. The camera itself can record continuously for 45 to 60 minutes, almost 50% longer than its predecessor, the Go 2. If you place the camera in the action pod, you can stretch your recording time up to 150 to 170 minutes, while simultaneously recharging the camera.

The Insta360 Go 3 offers three storage options: 32GB, 64GB or 128GB, all built-in. Choose carefully, because with no MicroSD card slot there’s no way to expand whatever you start with. A single USB-C port handles charging and data transfers, but aside from that connectivity is wireless: there’s Bluetooth 5.0 and 5GHz Wi-Fi. Following in the footsteps of the GO 2, the new GO 3 also comes with a charging case, or “Action Pod”. Audio quality is another area where the GO 3 stands out, delivering acceptable sound even from a distance. While it may not match the audio quality of a GoPro, the camera’s stereo and directional microphones make it well-suited for vlogging or outdoor activities. An added wind reduction feature also comes in handy when using the camera for action sports. User ExperienceFor the first time, it also comes with two clips which (with the aid of a magnet) allow it to be securely mounted on some accessories. Brilliantly, it’s also magnetic itself, which allows it to be fixed directly to lamp posts, bus stops, fridge doors, car bodies and similar surfaces. Because now that our PCs are one of the main ways we interact with the world, they just can’t be single-purpose devices anymore, and that goes for pretty much everyone. The pandemic has made multitasking so important, and it really is a shame that this device puts so much emphasis on the design instead of the internals. We would much rather have seen a less flashy aesthetic if it meant that it didn’t slow down when doing simple everyday tasks that everyone is going to have to do. New recording modes are also present, including Pre-recording, Loop Recording and Timed Capture. The last feature allows the camera to be set to start recording at a specific time — particularly helpful for early-morning timelapses.

Insta360 GO 3 (64GB) - Small Action Camera, Lightweight

On the camera, you’ll find a screen, a power button, and a mode-switching button, which make navigating the menu a breeze. The Go 3 supports both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, offering you the convenience of remote control and speedy file transfers to your smartphone or tablet. For one, both the Go 3 and Action Pod tend to get a little toasty. I thought this might just be during video capture, but even when idle, the gear was warm to the touch. And yeah, I get it: small camera, small battery, lots of data to process. I guess my concern is how much of a power drain an overworked Go 3 and Action Pod could be in the long run. Could this affect processing power? That's hard to say, although I'll admit that my own Go 3 rig was snappy and responsive when starting and stopping a recording. My other concern is overall stabilization. Please note that the GO 3 is marginally larger than its predecessor, the GO 2, so older accessories, including 3D printed TPU mounts, might not fit. Separate the two and the Action Pod becomes a wireless remote control for the camera, offering a live view video feed and a range of a few feet. While we’d have liked the range to be a little more generous, this remote aspect is a killer feature, and saves you having to use a smartphone running the Insta360 app for the job (although that remains an option).Do you see the "Q" button on the side of the Action Pod? Press this to pull up the Go 3's photo and video presets. (You can also get to this preset dashboard by just sliding left or right on the Home Screen). Here you'll see options for time-lapse photography, HDR picture-taking, slow-motion recording, and several others. You’ll also be pleased to know that the Go 3 is water-resistant up to 5 meters (IPX8), so you can film in the rain or even underwater without a worry! However, the action pod (charging case) has a lower water-resistance rating of IPX4, meaning it can only withstand splashes. Compatible with iOS mobile devices with chips A11 or above and iOS version 11.0 or above, including iPhone SE 2, iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone X, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro Max, iPad Air (2020), iPad Pro and newer iPad models. GO 3 can allow you to capture better footage during a variety of activities. Perfect for hands-free POV. The tiny size makes it easy to mount anywhere, your imagination is the limit.
