- 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.)
- Image File Format(s): 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.)

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.

Insta360 Go Ultra: The Ultimate Vlogging Camera
As a vlogger with about 250,000 followers across YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram, I’m always on the lookout for gear that fits my daily content creation workflow. The Insta360 GO Ultra immediately caught my eye because it’s not just another iteration of the GO 3S. It’s a completely fresh, new innovation. Gone is the pill-shaped body, replaced by a larger, square form that’s more like a hybrid between the GO series and an Action Cam. -Design, Build, and Unboxing- First off, the design of the box itself is very creative. It’s not just standard packaging. They put some real thought into it, and it kind of gets you excited about unboxing and seeing what the camera can do. Once you open it up, you’ll notice right away how different it feels from the GO 3S. The packaging is premium, and inside you’ve got the GO Ultra camera, the action pod it sits in, a magnetic pendant for POV shots (which you can wear under your shirt and snap the camera onto), and a magnetic clip for attaching to hats or other surfaces. Now, it's a bit bigger than the old model, so it’s not going to be super subtle if you wear it on a hat, but it’s still totally doable for POV shots. You also get a quick-release cord, a lens guard, and a USB-C cable for charging. The build quality feels really solid. -Performance- For vlogging the 2.5" flip/touchscreen is great for framing videos and photos. It's also great for selfies and to view the camera when you've mounted it somewhere else. The screen is bright and the touchscreen is very responsive. The battery life is great with the added help of the action pod. The ability to fast charge so quickly is an added plus for vloggers. Personally, I haven't had any The large sensor has really improved low light performance. It's a big improvement but still one step below my pocket 3. Pureview kicks in automatically when it senses lowlight. Transferring my videos and photos to the Insta360 app is extremely quick and easy. You can also add Dolby Vision (I do this on most of our videos) but it will decrease resolution to 1080p 30fps. I took the camera out for a run around the park to see how it handled in-body stabilization and it was impressive without any post processing. FreeFrame is genius. It will show you a grid of the different aspect ratios but you will need to be careful to keep your subject in frame, or pay attention to the grid so that you can use more than one aspect ratio. I use Dewarp field of view for my videos; it cuts down on the rounded edges you often get on action cams. FreeFrame - This is one of my favorite features. What's nice about FreeFrame video is you can decide the aspect ratio after you film your video. This is great for content creators because you might need a 16:9 wide for YouTube, but you can also export a 9:16 for TikTok, Instagram, or Facebook Reels. You can even export a 1:1 for an Instagram post without losing any quality. You will see lines (when framing your shot) that indicate the border of each aspect ration while filming so it gives you a good idea of what you need to keep in frame. In terms of overheating, a lot of action cameras do heat up. We accidentally left the Insta360 Go Ultra running for 82 minutes, and it got pretty warm, but it never actually overheated or shut down. You will feel some heat from the unit, but it’s not something that caused any performance issues for us. PureView mode is a dedicated shooting mode that kicks in automatically in low light. I think this is a huge plus because the camera adjusts to improve brightness and reduce noise on its own. The Go 3S struggled a bit in low light, but this one's noticeably better. I'll be real though, I've got a Pocket 3 that's still noticeably better in low light, but these are 2 different cameras. I'm stating this though because even though the Insta360 ultra is more versatile, my pocket 3 is the go-to in low light for me. The Insta360 Ultra is more of a hybrid between an action cam and a regular camera, so it's not the absolute best in either category, but it gives you the best of both worlds and more options when creating videos. The app works fantastic. You have countless tools and I had no issues exporting or editing. The only complaint I have is the watermark that shows up on photos and videos by default (it can also be turned off in settings.) Shooting in RAW photo mode was kind of a revelation for me. I usually just shoot JPEGs, but the RAW shots are incredible. I took a photo of a hibiscus tree in my yard and the colors and brightness were outstanding. Pros: 1. Great Low-Light Performance 2. Exceptional Battery Life 3. Flip Screen 4. Free-Frame 5. High-Res Video 6. Intuitive, Efficient App 7. RAW Photo Capability 8. Excellent Stabilization Cons: 1. A Bit Heavy: Less Discreet 2. Jack-of-All-Trades: Not the top performer in any single category. 3. New Ecosystem: Older accessories aren’t compatible. 4. Price 5. Mono Audio

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.
