- General
- Brand: Insta360
- Model Number: CINSABEA
- Product Name: GO Ultra 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: 1/1.3" (9.6 x 7.2mm)
- Image Resolution (Display): 50MP (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, RAW (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: 14.27 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: 50 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 14.27 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
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 2.49 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 (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): 4K60fps, 1080p240fp (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 240 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- HDR Mode: true (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

Q: Does the camera come with the lens guard already installed?
A: I got confused by this as well but it's the actual lens that's attached to camera already not a separate lens cap to cover it. You will need to buy that separately if your looking to buy a cap to cover the lens.
Q: Is there a selfie mode or can you take selfie with this camera?
A: Yes you can! The screen can flip up so you can see yourself when looking at the screen and their's options like "voice control" where you can say take a picture to do so or use " gestures" where you can make a sign with your hands to take a picture. Hope this helps your question.
Q: How long does a battery charge last and what accessories are included in the box?
A: It really depends on how you're using it does the battery life last. For example when using 4k it lasted 20-30min. I placed my settings turning off Bluetooth and placing 1080 recording while having purelight on and voice control too and was able to get an hour out of it, maybe a little more but i turned it off. Becareful tho as it does wram up and get hot quickly.

Finally, small size in high-quality come together.
I’ve had many different action cameras, but I have just fallen in love with this product. It seems to have the perfect amount of video quality and stabilization in such a small form factor when you detach the camera from the action pod. I would highly recommend this camera. It has a very high fun factor because of the way you can place the camera in unique positions for more creative angles.

Great Camera, But Missing Some Basic Accessories
I previously had the Go 3S and swapped to the Ultra when it was released. It is definitely larger and more noticeable than the Go 3S, but I was okay with that since it makes up for several things the 3S was lacking. Low-light performance is a big improvement, and I’m really enjoying being able to film in 4K 60FPS with far less motion blur. The camera does warm up when shooting in 4K, but not excessively, and I haven’t experienced any overheating so far. The main frustration is with what comes in the box. The Go 3S included a pivot stand, but the Ultra does not. Without it, I can’t stick the camera to most surfaces or attach it to my tripod unless I purchase the stand separately. For now, I’m limited to using the pendant or easy clip, which don’t work for a lot of shots I need.

Insta360 go ultra review
I absolutely love this little action camera. You can use it in so many different scenarios. It’s crazy. The image quality is immaculate and the low light capabilities are quite insane. You can put this little camera almost anywhere and achieve unachievable shots with ease. I love it and would definitely recommend it. I had an Insta360 go two and love that camera, but had quite a few knit pics with it. I waited several years for Insta360 to release a camera like this and then I splurged and got it and love it.
