Insta360 GO 3S is perfect for grab-and-go shots. Tiny, lightweight, and easy to mount anywhere, but the footage looks surprisingly sharp and stabilized. The Action Pod makes framing and controls simple, and the whole setup is great for travel, workouts, POV clips, and behind-the-scenes content. Fast to start recording, reliable, and genuinely fun to use.

Small light camera with great stabilization and video quality. Battery does overheat in the sun if used more than 20 minutes at a time, but overall great camera

This tiny camera surprised me. The video quality is insane for how small it is, and the stabilization makes every shot look smooth, even when I’m moving fast. I love how easy it is to mount anywhere—on my hat, chest, or even just hold it with one hand. The magnetic body is super useful, and the upgraded 4K resolution is crystal clear. Battery life isn’t crazy long, but for quick shots or vlog moments, it’s perfect. Definitely worth it if you’re into capturing moments without carrying a big camera.

This thing is incredible. Small portable take anywhere…check, great video quality…check, infinite mounting options…check, phone integration and control…check. If i could knock it for anything it would be sound quality is just ok. But its got everything else you could want in a small vlogging/ action can.

nice little action camera. Great size. but it doesn't have good battery life unless its always docked which defeats the purpose of what it's designed for. It is limited to it own internal storage as it does not require an SD card.

Overpriced, Overheats, Underpowered...

I can't begin to imagine how bad the predecessor to this was, but this camera is the worst I've ever owned for the following reasons:
- Terrible battery life, even at 1080p (like 30-40 minutes…).
- Camera overheats and is unable to charge, even when shooting in 1080p.
- Unlike other action cams, the main body "ActionPod" (the only way you can get extended battery life) is only splash proof, not waterproof.
- No expandable storage.
- Obviously no removable battery.
- The low-res video file saving system is also completely unnecessary and a waste of storage space...
- Transferring files requires either a super speed usb c or the stupid camera reader they sell...
- They named this device so terribly, they should have called it the “Camera Pod” and the “Camera Pod Carrier” instead of the absolutely stupid names they gave the two devices - so insane and non intuitive…
- Insanely expensive for what you get
- It's also insane that the CAMERA CANT GO IN THE CARRIER IN EITHER ORIENTATION, absolutely insane, major major design flaw, idiots.
- Maxes out at 4k50… my GoPro 7 shot faster than that…
They market that this camera can be used just a little bit more creatively than the DJI or the GoPro... sure... I would MUCH rather own the DJI action cam.
I reallllly wish I would have seen a review like this before I bought this.
Now, if Insta360 can DOUBLE the battery life and ALSO get the stupid thing to not ALWAYS OVERHEAT, maybe this would be a cool creative tool, but this is absolutely aggravating to use, and just not at all worth the money.

So far that way I've used it, I would say it works great. It's very light not really difficult to understand. I would say it can get hot but that's already said in the information about the camera

Easy to use. Compact. Great video quality. Versatile. What more could you ask for? Well, longer recording times but that’s the price that you pay for such a compact device.

Small but terrible. Easy to use, not bulky, picture quality is good. Quality of the video is not that impressive at night. Other than that it’s two thumbs up.

Great camera, easy to use and connect with my iphone. I do wish it had availability to use a SD card. That’s the only drawback is the videos have to be transferred via internet/bluetooth

If you're in the market for a action cam but without all the complications of "which is the right settings." Look no further with the Insta360 Go 3s.
I come from as a GoPro fan and started to dip into the Insta360 devices.
If you enjoy creating POV videos and some normal action videos, then the Go 3s is a great starter camera. It already has presets to select and shoot. It also has Pro settings if you're comfortable with that.
The entire camera is very lightweight and when the camera is out of the pod, it weights even less.
As a seasoned action cam guy, I went with the Standard package. It has everything I need, which I suggest for anyone that's interested in this cam.

I had been in the market to replace my aging gopro session but most action cameras (including gopro themselves) strayed away from the extra small form factor I was looking for. This little camera fits that role perfectly. Its easy to use, has excellent and quick mounting options, and being able to use it independently from the base is a game changer. Couldn’t recommend this enough. If a small but convenient action camera is what youre lookong for this is the front runner!

Pros: great quality video in day light, portable, easy to use in different and fun angles.
Conts: bad quality video in low light scene, short battery duration without base pod.
If you need a small, light, action camera for shorts video in day light is a great buy!

Very compact, at 1080 no over heating, only time was charging right after about 15min of continuous recording it will prevent from charging. Size and weight is great for mounting on cap hat
