Insta360 Quick Reader for Go 3 and Go 3S

Insta360 Quick Reader for Go 3 and Go 3S - How To Use

Ай бұрын

With the launch of the new Insta360 Go 3S POV action camera, Insta360 has introduced a new quick reader tool that allows you to easily offload content from the camera's internal memory to a memory card. This accessory can also be connected to a mobile device for direct editing off the memory card. It is also fully compatible with the original Go 3 and has several other functions. In this video, I demonstrate how to use the new Quick Reader for the Insta360 Go 3S and show some of its features.

I am so glad that they released this. I know I cant be the only one that was tired of waiting 10-15m for some footage to transfer to my device. Wish it was a little less, but time is money

@cindyherget5196 Ай бұрын

I have been wanting this for too long… since I got it Now I can just load it all on a memory card and not gum up my phone that is already 1-2 full of photos and videos I so very much enjoy my go 3….. I really wished it had a Timelapse recording just like the iPhone and not just photos at set intervals… I like recording my flight take off and landings…. I’m still working on the glass glare back int the camera from windows in hotels and trains and buses when I’m traveling while in Europe I have more train rides coming up… in Scotland this fall and Portugal and Spain next month. Hopefully the 32gig I have will transfer fastest with this new offloading device I so wished I had not messed up when i ordered I did want the 128 but somehow it switched to the 32 without notice. Perhaps I’ll get the go 4 when it comes out

Thanks for this in depth review of the reader. It really does add to options of the Go 3 simply and effectively.

I just got mine. Thanks for this very helpful video. It is very easy to use. I liked the transfer option connecting it to the pod so I can see the transfer progress. Just make sure your device is fully charged. Transfer time is fast. This is a must have accessory

Yeah but why dont they just support connecting their devices with USB-c direvtly, sure everyone doesnt have an iPhone 15 pro but the goal should be not to have all these Camera specific readers but just Connect Camera via USB-c straight to iPhone or iPad.

@KirbyOng Ай бұрын

Questions : With the cam plugged into a powerbank, it MOVES the file from the cam to the card. And with the reader plugged into the pod, does it also MOVE or COPY the contents automatically or it waits for user’s choice? Second question, what is the folder structure after each transfer? Lastly, if you use the same SD card between a Go3 and Go3S, what sort of folder structure will be in the SD card? Will the user be able to differentiate between which are from the Go3 and Go3S?

Can you charge the Go 3 from an iPad/iPhone if you plug the camera and quick reader into it, but leave it turned off? This would be a great way to top up the camera if you had a full phone battery.

@AirPhotography Ай бұрын

Unfortunately, it will not. Right away it’ll just prompt you to launch the Insta360 app even if you ignore it no power is fed into the unit. Would be a great feature as the iPad can charge devices.

@mice_cowski Ай бұрын

Shawn, this is a great video highlighting what the reader can do. So what I'm about to say has nothing to do with the video but with the reader itself. This reader seems like a $45 solution to a problem that Insta360 doesn't want to solve with the Action Pod which is to make it USB 3.1 and give it the ability to plug directly into a tablet/phone with a cable. Considering the Go line of cameras has 128GB of storage, it can take as much as 2 hours to transfer via USB (2.0). It would be great if they fixed this on the Action Pod as it has become an Achilles heel.

When the Quick Reader imports the Inst360 Go3/Go3s clips and does it sort them on to your iPad's insta360 app according to when (date/time) they were recorded or is it sorted according to the date/time they are imported? I like to edit my vacation videos chronologically so i am wondering if i record Insta360 X4 footage and import them while storing several days worth onto the Go3 reader, will those Go3 clips from the reader get placed by the day they were shot and next to different X4 footage recorded at the same time..... or will all the days of Go3 clips on the reader got into the iPad as if they were all recorded on the same day? Hope this question makes sense.

Have you tried the with reader with the other insta369 devices and see if it can be used as a backup 'drive' via the usb plug ie. The X4 or Ace Pro? Because that would be a game changer if you could transfer the files the same way as the GO with those devices.

So just a question regarding the end of the video. Do you mean the only way for me to clear the memory card is by plugging it into one of those adaptors to a computer? cant i just transfer the files by plugging in the quick reader into the computer?

@AirPhotography Ай бұрын

Yes, when connected by USB to a regular computer all the files are fully accessible. And you could format the drive as it becomes just a regular card reader drive. However, just not when connected to an iPad.

Is this a viable option in the mindset that I have where I want the transfer speed to be faster when offloading footage? Thanks!

That was a very good question so I tested that theory out, and indeed it does work. You can basically record indefinitely until the memory is filled with just the camera module when connected to a power bank. And of course, you could plug the action into power as well and use it and that configuration. A great question.

@FrugalStew Ай бұрын

@@AirPhotography thank you! I am concerned that a corruption or a potential issue on an sd card could cause file corruption etc. Having the option to keep the files could make it more redundant as a back up.

@uldmedia Ай бұрын

@@AirPhotography It's actually a great idea, but without being able to switch off automatic deletion, it's relatively useless. Scenario 1: The storage space on the camera is sufficient, but I would like to quickly save my material on an SD card as a backup copy for important shoots. Scenario 2: I'm on the road and the internal memory is not enough. I want to be able to save the material on two different SD cards before I delete it from the camera. Otherwise, in my opinion, it makes more sense to connect the action pod to the cell phone and back up the material from there to an SD cards or external SSDs - maybe even back up directly from the camera to the SD cards / SSDs via a USB hub. Should be feasible for cell phones with a fast USB-C interface.

I had asked Insta360 the same question and they confirmed that a direct cable connection to a phone is not feasible and that there is no intention to upgrade with a firmware. Probably due to many requests they have now come up with a Quick Reader or it was already planned right from the beginning. Adding more revenue with the Quick Reader rather than a free firmware upgrade.

I wouldn't confirm that. I had the X3 and GO3 in parallel. In the end, however, the GO3 is at least in my pocket every day. If you have a child, it's worth a lot to just have a camera with you for memory. In the end, I had sold the X3 after one year exactly at the release of the X4 (because of the non-exchangeable lenses and that can quickly become a problem on a motorcycle) and have now gotten a GO3S standalone in advance to use both in parallel...Let's see when I'll miss the X4 all-round visibility, because that's true; That's something completely different and I loved it but as I said, I didn't use it that often in everyday life 😊
