- Key Specs
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
- Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- General
- Brand: Insta360
- Model Number: GO3S13
- Product Name: GO 3S (128GB) Action Camera
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
- Image Resolution (Display): 4K (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: 2x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: None (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Digital (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: false (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: false (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG, MP4 (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/2.8 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 16 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 1:1, 4:3 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- Video Resolution(s) and Frame Rate(s): 4K30fps (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, and the frame rate used to capture the video. The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 30 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: false (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Compatibility
- Memory Card Compatibility: Not Available (The type of memory card(s) recommended for use with the product.)
- Features
- Face Detection: false (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Action Camera: true
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Connectivity
- Wireless Connectivity: WiFi, Bluetooth (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)

Small and Compact Design remains GO Ultra's key differentiator. It distinguish itself from competitors and excels in three main areas: hands-free POV, strong specifications, and mass popularity.
Insta360 has made some of the most fun and interesting cameras of the past few years and the new Insta360 X3 is no different. The X3 is a 360-degree camera with two super-wide lenses that capture everything around you, allowing you to 'reframe' the footage into a standard movie later. But a host of upgrades mean it's also now much more usable as a traditional action camera in 'single-lens' mode. But on the X3 you can now shoot in 4K resolution in this 'single-lens' mode, making it more like having two cameras in one.

Great little action camera!
I've been a GoPro user of the Hero 4 Silver, Hero 5, Hero 6, Fusion, and Hero 12 Black, and wanted a tiny action camera to use as a First Person POV action camera for my radio-control Traxxas 4wd 1/10-scale truck and my 1/4-scale Promoto-SM supermoto made by Losi. The GoPro will work in the R/C truck, but it's too risky for the R/C motorcycle so I researched the Go 3S and bought it to record/edit/upload videos of the driver's POV to my youtube channel. After watching the results, I am SUPER happy! The stabilization is amazing and the image quality is really, really good. My youtube channel ( @LandShark ) has a few videos uploaded that show the results. For my needs, this is an almost perfect action camera, and as a regular action camera I'm also happy with what it can do. I plan on getting at least one more of these, maybe even two more.

Awesome little camera
Wonderful little camera, really like how small it is and the video quality! The stabilization is very good too, used it on a run and it was a smooth video. If you’re a shy vlogger this is great because it’s not so obvious and very discreet. It did heat up when I was recording a long period but not to the point that it shut off so not bad. Really like that you can clip it to a cap and it stays put! You get all the accessories you need for which I really liked too. I also used it on my dog for a walk and and the video came out great. Love this camera:)

Worth it's weight in video recording.
It serves its purpose for a compact-sized camera. It has a miniature camera that packs a 4K punch. With it's easy to change lens ability you can add features that allow you to get images to your liking. It is a great overall camera that allows you to have fun recording your memories. It also has a screen to allow you view your line of sight with if you use it as a selfie camera. You can review the your footage on the camera as well. Plus insta360 has editing software to enhance you images as an option. One downside is the it comes with no sd card option. It only allows for to purchase a 64 or 128 gigabyte memory. This is not a paid opinion.
