Today, I have a comparison video you’ve been asking for - a face-off between the four different levels of in-camera stabilisation on the Insta360 Go 3 camera. So, buckle up, and let’s discover the smoothest way to capture your adventures.
Before we jump into the action, let's understand the Insta360 GO 3's 2.7K video mode stabilisation options. This compact wonder offers four levels: Basic, Standard, High, and Ultra. Each level promises an increasingly stable footage, but how do they really stack up?
Now I’m testing these all on the same walk up and down this slope to this memorial up the top here, and also a little run along the coast here. It’s nothing too extreme, but hopefully you’ll get an idea of what the Go 3 can do.

I,agree this was a great comparison and very helpful….Things did not seem to get that much better after Standard stabilization, (if at all), for walking around vlogging, nut there was a crop penalty to pay for each increase in stabilization. Does increasing the strength increase noise or artifacts in low light?

Useful information! I found out yesterday, when I was using it for the first time out and about, that I needed to use the high stabilisation mode. Maybe because I tend to use the magnetic pendant mounting option, so there is more movement when it's directly against my body? Love the camera though. So pleased I upgraded!

Moa Point! One of my regular local walks :) I was about to ask about FOV on each level on stabilization but then you addressed that when you showed all 4 together. The cropping is quite strong on the highest setting - The top of your head is cut off where it was fully in view with the sky behind it on the standard!

Yay - local viewer - how's your day? I got out for a bit of mic testing today before it started raining. Look out for that tomorrow. Yeah - when you see all 4 togethr, the Max crop is pretty hard, eh? Glad it was helpful!

Impressive stabilization and great video, Sarb. OMG you live in such a beautiful part of the world. I look forward to seeing more of it as you test your gear. I'm curious how this camera holds up against the GoPro or even an iPhone. Why would be need this if the camera in our pocket is good enough, etc.

Standard seemed to still have some bounce/jitter even with just walking, high looks like best option for most things

I have mine set on standard 99% of the time, and that is fine for me. I prefer having little lag on the screen - much more lag when set on high

Great comparison, thank you so much! 😊 I have the Go2 and always shoot in "Pro mode", since the regular "video" mode has no stabilization. But the Pro format requires editing through Insta360 software before it can be used in other editing programs. Were all the files you showed here from "regular" video mode, which produces ready-made files that don't need processing through the Insta360 app? Thank you!

A small note about cropping and stabilization settings. There is no crop. The sensors base resolution is even higher than what is used in standard video. Because of that all level of in-camera stabilization can use the full resolution. So what one might see as a crop is more based to your movement as to the cameras function. 😁

so why can't I see his elbow with Max stabilization?
@pk360de 11 ай бұрын
@@tjrick Because you can't even see it all the time in all the other modes too. As far as I see it it's mostly because of his movement and the way to hold the camera. I did my own fast tests after receiving that Insta360 information and I have no indication of a crop or fake pixels. For this purpose, it is best to take videos in which the camera is not held in the hand, but always at the same fixed distance from the object being recorded. You also need a measuring background or markings to have orientation points for the comparison. It would be easier to record all this with 5 cameras, each with different settings, which are installed as close as possible to the fixed point, but even then you have to take into account a slight angle deviation. With only one camera this is a bit more complicated, but the same background or measurement references help. Here in Sarb's videos, there are too many dynamic elements, including body posture and camera position, for such a statement. Another indirect indication is that the camera always shows the same image section, regardless of the stabilization setting. With almost all cameras that require an increasing pixel space depending on the degree of stabilization, you will otherwise see a slight zoom and a changed image section. This is not the case with the Go3 and what the display shows is also recorded. Technically, the resolution of the sensor offers enough pixels to not have to crop in standard video stabilization. Since the software stabilization of a FreeFrame video has much higher demands, only a smaller resolution is used from the same source material. In addition, FreeFrame is free in the choice of the aspect ratio and this also means that a smaller resolution must be used. A standard video, on the other hand, follows the FPV style and, in case of doubt, stands on its side or upside down. But don't get me wrong. Feel free to do your own tests. I'm currently highly occupied, but will try to share some recordings related to "crop" during the next weeks.

One question I have about this, and the different field of view modes is, since the lens is fixed, surely every step up in stabilisation (and every step toward a more 'flat' field of view) is a reduction in quality because it would use digital zoom to achieve that effect? For the FOV modes, it seems like it would be better to shoot everything in its widest mode, and crop in the edit if you have to.
@TheTechPacker 9 ай бұрын
I think the algorrithm used also does other things like warp / flatten the image in different ways. So I don't think it's just zooming in re FoV (or stabilisation)

I remember back in Massachusetts selling 1080 interlaced or Progressive Big screen tvs for $4000 and that was cheap. 2.7 K was unimaginable. Think Indra 360 go 3 will sell more than the Go pro hero 12 black. Watch. Getting the former this week! On purpose Go pro!😅

Why should you not over stabilize? What is wrong with using the most stabilization for everyday (except for the display lag)?
@TheTechPacker 11 ай бұрын
I haven't experimented too much with comparing the different types, but I wonder if you might start seeing artifacts between foreground and background in situations where stabilisation isn't so necessary. Not sure ...

@jeremiahvalero5056 3 ай бұрын
Curious but why wouldn't you just shoot on Freeframe mode all the time? Max stabilization with reframing afterwards seems like a no-brainer unless you need the minimal increase in 2.7k quality.
@TheTechPacker 3 ай бұрын
The big difference for me is 2.7k video can be offloaded with no processing straight to my iPad Pro. No post processing through app. For long vlogs, this is a massive timesaver. Check out some of my recent Japan vlogs

I beleive it was medium. But I've found that the Go 3 sometimes forgets the settings I had in the camera before - I'm hoping this has stopped happening, but can't guarantee it.

@@TheTechPacker Hmm.. I only had it forget settings after the first major update or factory reset. However, the Go3 allows several settings: When using the ActionPod, when using the ActionButton on the Go3 when powered on, and when using QuickCapture. This has also confused me from time to time. ;)
