"I have a hat clip-on with a magnetic camera holder, works great."


"You just wear it on your chest using the magnetic pendant. And whenever there is anything you would like to record you just press the button and it starts recording."


"So easy to snap in and out of different mounts for different perspectives. ... 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."

"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."


"And the Go3 is one of my personal favorites, because of it's small size and the unique perspectives it can take. ... I often have it attached to my ballcap and capture video that I likely wouldn't get with other cameras."


"Camera and charge case is similar size of IPods Pro. ... Very light weight."

"I use my go3 when travelling and usually have it mounted on my chest using the pendant or on the back of my cap using the hat clip, one tap, start recording, record for a minute or two, compile each day into a 2 minute summary."


"It’s really easy to use and it helps you to get an additional layer of footage that you would otherwise miss out on."

"Also, the Insta 360 Go does not have a removable battery. You want removable batteries so you can easily swap them instead of having to carry an external battery pack."


"outside the charging pod the camera on its own gives me about 35-40 mins recording time due to battery capacity limits."


"the battery is only going to be 35-45 mins without the camera body."

"if youre using the necklace magnet to chest mount it won't hold through a ski jacket, and you will lose it."


"don't use the magnet through the shirt. Your shirt moves too much. ... I don't use the magnet pendant. It's in a drawer somewhere. Forever unused. Such a dumb accessory."

"You’ve also convinced me about the GO 3: its low-light performance does seem just as limited as the X3."


"And in the few the go might be more discreet its lighting and dynamic range are going to suck as much as the x3."


"the Dynamic range on it where you can't control lighting especially with 8-bit can still create headaches. Especially with quickly changing lighting setups."

"The go sucks, it's no where near wide enough"


"One of the things I didn't like about the GO3 I had, and returned, was I felt the FOV was too narrow. ... It wasn't a full 180 degrees, so if the camera wasn't aimed properly, I couldn't adequately reframe in post. ... Ie: I was on a rollercoaster, the camera was tilted upwards on my chest, and all Ingot was sky."


"more restricted viewing angle from inside the visor"

I don’t think they’ve had one on them since the Go 3 at least. There’s usually a thread on one of the quick mounts.

The Insta360 Go3 is probably the best tiny small action camera you can get, there is also another similar camera from DJI but if you are in the US, there is no availability. There are tons of small action camera sold on Amazon, but video quality wise are quite worse than the GO3, the only positive is the low cost which won't be big deal if it gets lost.

Insta360 Go3 S with a clip mount to your hat brim. Or you may also want to look into the new Oakley Vanguards which seems quite good for your use case (but Meta)

Go3 but I learn a lot/even more, sometimes, from my iPhone that someone is holding and recording me.

Yea, sadly, last camera closest to 180-degree concept was Go 3. Why can't they make just half of X5 in Go form-factor?

Go 4 ultra is vastly superior to the Go3s, I've got both along with 2 more of the original go 3

r/Insta360Is the go format any good for adult content ?
6 months ago

I shot adult semi professionally for years and now still shoot personal adult for fun.  If you're shooting handheld, you're going to run into tons of stability shake issues for anywhere you'd need the go3's size aside from public/voyeur style shoots where you really don't want to draw attention. But a phone would be just as good in most of those situations. And in the few the go might be more discreet its lighting and dynamic range are going to suck as much as the x3.  The x3 can be relatively just as discreet if you act cool and you (as you should) have subjects coordination and consent. Just did a fun upskirt walking with my partner last month with the x3 on a selfie poll (screen set to 5s off after recording) held down at my side with a swoop between the legs when the coast was clear.  People don't think of the 360 as capturing what it does and with auto screen off and screen facing out so it looks "off" with it between you and your partner so it wouldn't be capturing anyone else there's nothing that would flag concern in peoples minds. And you make sure that you're holding it against your leg with your partner on the other side and high enough so that it wouldn't capture anyone else inappropriately because the sight line would only capture someone walking directly next to you and coordinating their walking to capture the shot. Really for shooting indoors you're going to need to focus on lighting lighting lighting. Use directional but diffused lighting from multiple angles so it's not creating harsh spots unless you're doing an artistic style. Otherwise expect to be using lots of lighting/natural lighting. You'll basically have to learn the same skills as a small budget indie film/documentary but less on the artistic lighting side unless that's the style you find customers prefer (example is kink.com's brand enhancing scene lighting). Anyways that's not what I thought I'd be spending a long time commenting on in the insta360 sub so I'll wrap it up there but hopefully it helps.  And for insta360's product sake "although I wouldn't recommend the GO series for adult work I would highly recommend the X series 360 camera as a secondary camera for intro price range inventive and innovative consensual adult shooting. To bring new possibilities for all content consumers and creators of legal age in their respective countries "

r/Insta360This Insta360 X5 is so amazing!

I switched long ago after my GoPro had the same SD card error and none of the day's videos were saved. Never again. Since then, I've not lost any footage on Insta360 X3, X5, Go 2, Go 3. Insta360 have their issues but definitely better than GoPro.

r/Insta360Why get Insta360 go Ultra for travel vlog if you got iphone 15 promax ?
6 months ago

I have the iphone 16 pro and wouldn't think of comparing video or photo to the go cameras, iphone is so much better it's not even close, but for me they differ a lot in use cases. I use my go3 when travelling and usually have it mounted on my chest using the pendant or on the back of my cap using the hat clip, one tap, start recording, record for a minute or two, compile each day into a 2 minute summary. Sometimes I mount the camera or give it to another family member, I take it to the beach, submerge it in a pool or a glass of beer etc, things I wouldn't necessary do with my iphone. I would probably go for the ultra between the go3s and the ultra because of the larger FOV and better low-light tolerance.
