I get 42 minutes on the six Go 3 I have in 2.7k (full resolution) outside the action pod...
r/Insta360 • Honest opinion on Go 3 / 3s ->Just to give my two cents, I’ve been using a go2/go3 for vacations and just love having the camera stuck on me at all times, hands free, pretty subtle and I can use my phone to snap pictures or bring the dslr if I feel like a proper camera is needed. Rather than ending up with maybe one or two videos through a day I tap the camera and let it roll for maybe a minute and compose videos from each day. I can bike, drive a car, jog, swim, be in the pool or on the beach without having to worry about my phone. You can view some of the highlights on [my instagram](http://instagram.com/kallikristjans). I would really like to buy a 360 (x3/x4) in the future but I would have to have it on a stick and I find that uncomfortable in a crowd, also its not ad pocketable.
r/Insta360 • Get an action cam or just use my phone? ->I find the GoPro and like to be too heavy for chin or visor mounting, drags my helmet down in front. I sometime run a 360 camera for limited sections. The camera I keep coming back to time and time again is the Insta360 Go 3. It's about the size of a GoPro, but the little snap-out camera is brilliant. It's tiny and weighs almost nothing. Clip it anywhere, and you will not even notice it. I like to clip it to the front of my visor. So easy to snap in and out of different mounts for different perspectives. For my use, it's limitations are perfectly acceptable. Even if it does not become your #1 camera, it is a great little unit to have in the bag as it allows for shots and mounts that no other camera will fit. For generating content, this is pretty important... minutes of video all shot from the same perspective/mount gets boring.
r/Dualsport • action camera suggestions (in 2025) ->The ‘Insta 360 go 3’ is a great camera for this sorta thing because of its size. I’ve seen that you can also get mounts that attach it to say your cap if you wear one
r/trailrunning • Running with action cams ->I have both. Go 3S is a big improvement. The upgrade to 4K IMO is the main reason to get it over GO3. Battery life of the camera when in 4K/30 is about 32 minutes. Ignore the Insta360 quoted data, that’s for 1080p recording. The action pod has way more battery life. I do not recognize any claims that the battery is only 15 minutes. Not my experience at all. As for free frame… I hardly use it and it doesn’t generally get used on a camera like GO3 / S so don’t worry about it. Image quality is not up to a Hero 12 standard but that’s the trade off for the very small camera module of GO3S, but it’s very very good indeed given how capable that small camera pod is and the smaller size of the sensor. If you are looking for one do-it-all small (action) camera the GO3S is the one.
r/Insta360 • Honest opinion on Go 3 / 3s ->I had a go3 that sank (despite its stated waterproofness) and I bought a go3s to replace it. And I think that freeframe was almost the main feature of go3 and that cut-down version of freeframe in go3s (and, in fact, it is not there), for me personally, made it practically useless as an action camera, despite 4K and so on.
r/Insta360 • Honest opinion on Go 3 / 3s ->No, it's not worth it. The old Go 3 was better, because in go 3s they actually killed the main features - freeframe and horizon lock. Formally it is there, but it works in a different way and is useless. And without it, go 3s is just an ordinary rather mediocre camera.
r/Insta360 • Go 3s is worth it? ->Someone here already said, but I highly suggest the insta360 Go 3 or 3S. Either model is great for a beginner. I'm a huge GoPro user and I'm looking to get one myself.
r/gopro • is gopro a good option for filming your kids? ->I returned my Go3 because of the “blue-tinged videos “ it randomly took… Now, I’m debating between the Go3S and the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro… I had the Go2 in the past that I unfortunately, lost. I got a lot of use of that because I can inconspicuously vlog. It was great for walking tour vlogs. But the Go3 really disappointed me. The last time, it wasted about an hour total of video clips.
r/Insta360 • Honest opinion on Go 3 / 3s ->I really love mine, i tried using it for vacation. I've shot short clips and long videos but I love it for a specific use case -- POV for practical shooting. Here's a sample video - [https://youtu.be/rXAvNufX0hc](https://youtu.be/rXAvNufX0hc)
r/Insta360 • Honest opinion on Go 3 / 3s ->Insta360 go. Camera and charge case is similar size of IPods Pro. Very light weight. I have a hat clip-on with a magnetic camera holder, works great. The charge case works as a remote if you don’t want to use the button on the camera.
r/gopro • I would like to buy an action camera, to clip it onto my baseballcap cuz I’ll travel a lot and want video footage for my family. ->Insta 360 Go series when out of its case is a very small camera that's producing fairly decent quality for its size
r/Cameras • Any high quality discrete cameras out there? ->I'd suggest you to get the Action 4. Better vfm. Can get the action 5 spare batteries for better battery life (if needed). Insta 360 is doing different ball game. It's an awesome secondary camera but not a good primary one.
r/indianbikes • Camera suggestions needed for motorcycle vlogging ->Insta 360 anytime of the day
r/indianbikes • Camera suggestions needed for motorcycle vlogging ->I would pick the dji any day over the insta 360 for a primary camera. Although the insta 360 gives a very good variety of angles, there’s not much of creative freedom that comes with it. Dji on the other hand, you can connect your mic easily for vlogging; it has better clarity, the overall quality is also much better. Accessories for the dji are priced fairly and the intsa 360 mounts are known to be fragile so I personally would stay away from those. If you already have a main camera, then go for the insta and try new angles for cinematic shots, but bear in mind, if you end up damaging the 360, there’s almost no way of getting it repaired.
r/indianbikes • Camera suggestions needed for motorcycle vlogging ->If u want to vlog n need a good low light performances than go for Action 5 pro. DJI wireless mic system can be easily paired with Action 5. Please don't go for any GoPro. DJI n Insta360 r far ahead of it interms of technology n features. If u want versatility than go for Insta 360. Also wait for few days. Amazon freedom sale will be coming. U can get better deals on both if cameras.
