Nobody on youtube reviewing the new Go3S mentions that it loses 15% of it’s wide angle focal length compared to the Go3. The Go3 has a 35mm equivalent 11mm lens while the Go3s has only 16mm. It’s still wide, but it’s significantly narrower field of view compared to the older Go3.

great video - really like your talking head setup shot, what camera and lens are you using for that?

Thanks, and thanks for watching! :) I’m using a Sony ZV-E1 with a 24mm GM lens 🙌🏼

Thanks for the review Nick. As a recent GO3 owner I did wonder if I'd pulled the trigger too early but looking at the differences I don't think the 3S has created too much buyers regret. If Insta360 could have improved lowlight more I might have thought differently but I guess you'd really need a bigger sensor for that.

@NickKendall 24 күн бұрын

Nice, glad to hear that. I agree, I think if you already own the GO 3, it's still a very solid little camera.

Great video Nick! Major props for buying this yourself so you could create a review versus the sponsored “first looks” of other channels. How is the low light performance? Does the improved dynamic range, higher recording bit rate, and 4k help in low light? I’m really torn b/t this, the Ace Pro, and Pocket 3. Each is SO different with unique strengths and drawbacks. I have an older phone that’s still good for photos, but I want something for video when out and about or on vacation.

@NickKendall 18 күн бұрын

Hey thanks for the comment! For clarity the camera was sent to me free of charge, but the thoughts in the video are all my own. I have an extended version of this video coming on Friday where I'll talk about the low light with examples. Still doing testing at the moment. So far the Ace Pro has the best low light performance of the Insta360 cameras I've used.

Thinking about getting a few small cameras for recording live concerts, so I can mix the recordings with the ones from my two Sony A7iv. The venues are sometimes pretty dark… Do you think that this camera would be suitable for that..? Is there a recording limit?

@NickKendall 25 күн бұрын

I'd say if you're in a darker environment, then the Ace Pro might be the better choice as it's low light performance is much better!

A video of using the go 3s in the go 3 pod would be appreciated. I am thinking of upgrading the camera only. Some questions i have are: 1) do you get all the same functionality?, and 2) can you somehow use both cameras still, with only one pod between them? Great video and appreciate the time and quality you presented us.

@Toms_360 26 күн бұрын

Yes you can use both on the same action pod but once at Time with the action pod. To link it’s easy : just put the Go 3 / 3S in the action pod 👍

@OneTakeSunday 26 күн бұрын

@@Toms_360 Thank you Tom, but i can't use both cameras at the same time in anyway? I'd like to get different angles since i have 2 cameras technically. Apprciate the response!

@Toms_360 22 күн бұрын

@@OneTakeSunday You can use both. The Go 3 / Go 3S don’t need action pod to film :) Several possibility : - Go 3 alone & Go 3S alone (set before the shortcut/quick capture) - Go 3 in action pod & Go 3S alone - The contrary - Go 3 in action pod & Go 3S link to phone

I get the popularity of black, but being an Engineer who spent 10 years working with data logger instrumentation that lived in the field in the blazing sun all day every day, there was a reason those instruments were all painted arctic white. So, I'm team white.

Yeah, and then there will be the 4S and then the 4SX and so on and so on. One cannot keep up with all this. I own the Go 3 and I am very happy with what I get. No need for me personally to upgrade.

Why slowmo is so bad quality? I mean because of what? Fir ex on iphone also 240fps is worst than 120fps so from what it depends on?

@NickKendall 25 күн бұрын

My understanding is that it's because the higher the frame rate, the more data is being recorded. Since these cameras have a speed limit on the data they can process, the higher frame rate modes drop the video bitrate to be able to record it without overheating or stopping. Hope that makes sense! :)

Great video, but there was something I needed to tell you. The sound design was terrible, every once in a while I was hearing a sound similar to emergency sirens. Please consider not using any sound similar to emergency sound and common notification sounds as the recurring background music in your videos. Feel free to delete this comment after reading it, because the intent was to deliver you a message, not hating on you or projecting a negative view of you. Thank you!

Insta360 is a bit scummy, first they release the White only GO3, now they release it with Interval with the GO3S. Like why can't you update it to your old GO3? Or am I missing something.
