Insta360 - GO 3

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.

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.

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.

Best use case for go3 :)

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.

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)

I have both the GP 10 and Go 3S and the Go quality isn't that bad, at 4k it's pretty impressive. The downside is that i'm getting 20min runtime so I tend to start/stop it when I think about it. You can quickly pop it off and into the dock to get a quick charge up. Note that if you do go with the Go get the 128G since you can't upgrade memory.

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.

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.

Insta 360 anytime of the day

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.

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.
