As an introvert , the subtle and discreet mounting options of Go3 is perfect for me. No visible body or head straps. And as a hiker, even a simple video clip is very tiring and such a hassle when you have multiple accessories on you like trekking poles, sunglass, a hat, earphones, water bladder and custom strapped backpack, a lightweight and simple magnetic clip is a huge relief. I don't need a super high resolution, as long as it is still clear in computer monitors since I won't be projecting the videos in large screen projectors. My only downside is the built in memory ( I didn't know action cameras are huge on file size! 1 minute clip is like 1GB) and the fragility of the action pod. I would prefer a more rugged housing without additional cost for protection.
Agree
Hey, 1 minute clip is nowhere near 1GB in size on these or much any other action camera. Even filming at 4k, it's nowhere near that amount so you're good to go with this one.
@@rambledogs2012 I just checked and my 4minute video is at 1.5gb already. Maybe its not as near 1bg/min but it sure is still huge. I mean you could already watch a full length HD movie with that much capacity! If you're travelling in a multi-day trip using a single Go3 which I will, you're definitely going to transfer it somewhere else to unload the data, whereas in other action cameras, you can swap multiple memory card with you.
@@craftingday352 ok, well I bought one yesterday as currently on hols in Scotland. I've been filming most of the morning and mid afternoon (2.7K @ 30fps) and got a good hour or so of footage and still have 2.32 hrs left of recording (used 9.2GB). That's with 64GB which in reality is around 59.6GB after firmware.
Not sure what you're doing filming wise and settings but yours is way off the mark, dude.
Do you wanna see the GO 3 in BLACK??
You can also get the GO 3 here: bit.ly/44j08PO
Pick me! Pick me! Oh wait, not a giveaway? 🤷♂️🤦♂️😂😂😂
No 🤭
😊
Yes. Big mistake making it only in white.
Sure custom skin is fun but where is the black version.😭
20 reasons the GO 3 might be perfect for you:

Could this be the new Insta360 X4? 🤔 ua-cam.com/video/9XHcPPh0X-E/v-deo.htmlsi=7if5nUkpeah1lS52
_So_ tempted by the Go 3, I quite liked the idea of the Go 2 with it's tiny form factor, and the wireless view preview and other features are really nice-looking. Enjoy your visit here, can't wait to see what you put together from it!
Super happy to find your video... this is probably the first time in years that I could not find a proper review of a camera that wasn't sponsored by the company themselves. So I'm glad I found yours because it's an actual review not just an ad. Unfortunately for me I'm just day dreaming right now but if I wasn't this would be the one I think... just for versatility alone (arguably the most important part of an action camera)
Thanks a lot mate🙌 would appreciate if you shared your experience with others😃
I am doing a travel with this camera in about 2 weeks time so stay tuned for that to learn more of the use👍
The irony is that most viewed videos are review about how do different cameras perform. No one watches videos people make with those cameras about their life, their voyages or whatever. Similar with drones. hundreds of thousands of views how to use drones, but almost no one watches the actual scenery vids of whatever footage made on purpose with those drones.
😂😂😂
Maybe people should use the camera’s for more than just random shots and actually record for a story line
Maybe thats just your own experience coz I watch a TON of travel and sports videos that use 360 content, not just the reviews
That's bc 90% of people can't...
Can't create engaging content with any camera
Know what "value vlogging" even is
Know how to optimize their videos for the algo
Create Thumbs/titles/descriptions that actually work.
I have a channel where I use drone, 360, action cams, pro gear, etc. People watch when you give them a reason to watch. No one wants to watch boring ass badly packaged content. These cameras are tools, like all tools you have to learn to use them not only technically but effectively.
Almost like multimillion dollar companies have a bigger budget for marketing than indivoduals or something 😂
*godzilla had a stroke reading this*
Great Video Rob, I’m leaning towards the DJI Action 4 to replace my aging GoPro - aging, much like myself. Enjoy HI with the boss.
Tell me about it 🥸
Great review and everything in details. Thanks for the video!!
Thinking of getting this for my marathon running ski-ing husband!
Awesome review. You went over everything! I’m going to get one to help get cool b roll for my vlogs and bts videos.
Thanks a lot bud🙏😃 hope to see some amazing b-rolls🤙
6:12 important message about viewer satisfaction. The satisfaction of thousands seeing remarkable reframed images shown at 1080p, versus nobody seeing footage you DIDN'T capture, because you didn't want to deal with your hefty, complex Sony in some other special moment.
I have had to replace my first one after updating Firmware last month.... While I waited the replacement, I really missed it being in my action cam arsenal. It's super convenient when needed! Awesome review bud!
Thanks man😃
It bricked when you updated the firmware?
What settings do you recommend? We have just bought this camera and we are having the same issue with the grainy footage, even during the day it just doesnt seem right. What settings have you figured out works best for you? Thank you
*THANK YOU, It's funny how people think cause its an Action Camera that it must be an Action Camera it's not, but something different and there's SOOOO man y different Applications you can use this for. I've had mine for about a week an a Half and I love it. Accessories that come with it work just fine and the neck mount is pretty awesome.*
Hi what do you think of the sound of the go 3 ?
How did you mount the go 3 to your helmet? It looks different than the “motorcycle kit” I see offered when purchasing the camera
Nice video, thanks for the review!
Great Review And Thanks For Sharing My Friend!
6:00 I need to know what happened? Did the truck end up hitting the roof of bridge/tunnel or go different way before it?
how good is it in darker environments ? like dusk / night (i.e. disco / concert)
what video sharpness did you use for these clips or in general?
These are the reviews we want 😃
Honestly I’ve had good luck using the GO3 as a primary travel cam! Size + pendant + hat adapter = it actually gets used! (And secondary camera is the mobile phone we all carry nowadays.)
+1 on that!😃
Hows the audio quality? Can you plug in a rode wireless mic to it?
My First use would be for hiking. However, I would also use It at home to shoot static shots of my dj console with an overhead view. Taking advantage of its lightwieght and fact that I can create a very fast filming setup.
Would you recommend It for this use as well? Is the video quality good enough under normal lighting conditions?
Thanks in advance
Yes, but then i would suggest using manual settings for those overhead shot
@@RobHK if you tried before and you want share some settings, do It. Thanks for the your reply
I recently spent 2 weeks in Mexico with it, its a Game changer for POV shots, you just use the magnet collar and keep going about your life experiencing everything without worrying about framing that much.
This comment is the reason why I bought my Go3
@@jogah85 good man
It does look great…but I really like the smaller form factor of my Go2. It’s just so easy to slip it in a pocket…True it does overheat, but I rarely shoot clips of more than three or four minutes. ..But..I’d like to checkout a Go 3 in the flesh sometime.
The mini Action Cam I didn't know existed till recently.
I notice so many reviewers of action cameras always talking about this cam records in 5.7k, this one 4k, etc. Then most of the time when I watch non-reviewers using the various cameras and posting to UA-cam more often than not they are posted at 1080p. Yes I understand that a 5.7k/4k offer more info to the downsizing but many record at less than 4k to begin with.
There are videos out there comparing smart phones with different carriers and much of the time when watching UA-cam on a phone (many don't even realize this) they are watching at 720p, sometimes even less. Just had to but my 2 cents in.
After discovering the Go 3 in the last couple days, and researching, watching reviews, etc. I ordered the 128G with 3rd party carrying case to put all the stuff in.
By the way RobHK, nice video a lot of information which help me "pull the trigger" to buy now.
🙌
Great review. Couple of questions: does it come with a case? And do you recommend the safety strap with the pendant?
Comes with the case, ye👌 yes use the strap😊
Is that a custom sticker you out on it?
Haha ps nice detail shot of that truck hitting that height warning. I was baffles he didn't stop, since that's the limit or he knows there is an error margin, pretty risky
Great video - exactly my experiences.
Thanks Peter😊
Another great review!!!!
Thanks Carlos 🙌
Hi which ND filters is most shooting for sunset and star lapse videos?? Can you share your recommendations
What is your mount that you use on your bike for the caméra ?
Hi there what is the other camera what was used in the this video on the bike what camera is that one
Hello, can it be used outside the home, for a live broadcast on UA-cam or a video call on WhatsApp?
What software do you use to convert to 4k?
Would love to see a go 3 vs action 2 video. I’m in the market for a small action camera to mount to RC cars, kids bikes etc and wonder if the go 3 is worth the money especially for stabilization/reframing vs the action 2. I don’t really need better resolution than 2.7k
I find the quality to be a tad bit better than the Motorola Razr. I'll be returning this and getting a DJI pocket
Hi do you think the go 2 is also ok for blogging with a magnet or go 3 should be the one ?
Go 3 has a wider use tho, since the action pod. Also better audio with an extra mic and it doesn’t overheat like the go2 👍
I see you have a number of small water resistant camera. between gopro, insta360 x3, insta360 go 3, dji action 4 or any equivalent camera, which one you find that it has the best video quality when the EIS is used?
because i return my dji action 3 because it used to have soft focus issue.
I have 2 or 3 videos already where I compare them all and share my experience👍 you should check them out 😎
I want to use it for motocross, so kind of nice that you showed some motorcycle footage ;) However, i want to record with this camera being rotated horizontally. Is it still possible to record this way, and it does it correct the screen automatically like the gopro’s do? Thanks in advance for helping me out, cheers!
You can mount it as you want and it will always shoot horizontal, but you can change your vertical and it will always shoot vertical no matter how you mount it
I like this kind of camera..
I have question. What's the max FOV compare to GO 2? I own GO 2 and always exceed the FOV up to 120-125 in Studio app where you can see black bars every corner(tbh i actually don't care if they show it coz it's unique) but G0 2 max FOV feels very tight even at action shot. I'm curious how wide/FOV max is GO 3. The GO 3 will be my next action camera unless Action 4 but the concern is the weight on chest mount and helmet mount coming from mountain biking.
Same as go3, 134 degrees
Oh I see. Can i pm you to show you my instagram video i use Go 2 looks like coz i always go beyond 122 FOV in 1:1 ratio instead of wide shot.@@RobHK
how did you change the color on the Go 3!?! I will not buy it because it so white. I want just black
What mount is that on your helmet
Have you mixed this footage with your 4k camera? How it turn out?
good 1 💗love from India
Thanks. Now I know not to get this. Which action-camera would you use for a three camera shoot of an interview? I've been using three Galaxy S21 Ultras on monopods with double blue-tooth clip-on mics in the phones' c-ports, and then editing in Davinci, TimeBolt, and then Camtasia. Guests scoff at the camera phones. But I like the lightness of this 3-camera kit I've put together. Action cameras would keep it light. Which action camera would you use for a set-up like this?
it is a good camera for city vlog ? degustation of food and unboxing ? thanks a lot !!!
For sure!
That is great 👌👍
Thanks a lot mate🙌
$400!! This is very expensive. There are many small mini cams on Amazon for under $200, some with 4K and small monitors and magnet pendants. Do you have any recommendations for a cheap alternative that still has the functionality?
How long does the battery last when you remove it from the housing?
Me and my buddy do 3-4 hour long rides pretty much every weekend and sometimes the most ridiculous things happen. I would love to just have it recording so I can sift through the footage later.
I believe its 45min, and more when dropping down to 1080
Thanks
Question , how strong the magnet? Can it survive by doing extreme sport?
Yes, it also has 2 locking pins which holds it in place
Problem I found with the pennant it’s not long enough for 20inch neck
It just released in black. You’re welcome 😉 😊
keren sekali kamera ini 👍
I want to start creating video. I don’t do any intense action. Right now I’m thing about getting DJI pocket 3 for quality and Insta360 Go3 for convenience. Do you recommendations if you were starting and were going to start with 2 cams. I may add a drone at some point as well. I also have an iphone 15 pro.
Check out my pocket 3 review, might give you a helping hand ua-cam.com/video/QDZdv38dFJg/v-deo.htmlsi=66zgZT-ztaVL8lfJ
I just bought it, and happy not to use my phone when doing a short clip video while riding my bicycle.
Ow there is a black ine now, looks nice. Pretty pricey cam still
Can you explain what you doin post? With the saturation? Maybe can be a new video 😊
You’ll find my Signature LUTs in the description 👍
Very nice video. Can I use it as a dashcam? Thanks
Yes, you can
@@RobHK Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's take nearly one week to choose between action 4, gopro 12, x3 and go3. Thank you very much for helping me to decide. Thx🙏
How about sound? Any experience for motovlog?
Tbh, all cameras are shit on a motorcycle. So i would recommend an external mic (DJI MIC)
I just want this camera to support Extenal Microphones :( im sell my insta 360 go 3 again because it doesnt support External Microphone
How long does the battery last in 2.7k@30fps? With and/or without the action pod
45/170
@@RobHK thanks for the reply! Isn't that the duration in1080@30fps?
Ya could be. But around 2hrs 30 min is what you get with the 128gb. Not sure how much the go3 itself shoots for since i always put it in the pod between shots
Dear, will this record 360 degrees also? Thanks.
No
What is the battery backup without the main camera case?
45 min in 1080p with the unit itself
The best small camera in 2023
Anyone knows whether I can charge go2 in go3 charge case? I know it's different size, but go2 is smaller and charging plate at the back looks this same. Thanks
No
do we have any other action camera in such a small form factor like Insta360 GO?
I want to attach the camera to my cap and forget about it. It must record steady videos.
If I use chest mount the camera will move way more than if mounted on head.
How can your chest move more than your head 😅
@@RobHK when we walk the pendants will move back and forth
How many hours of footage can the 128gb store?
5hrs 30++
As far as go pro just because they say it does everything at the highest resolution doesn’t mean it will or even work witch is why I’m looking at this
I always upgrade to newer generations for my cameras. But Sadly, I am not upgrading to 3 from GO 2. The GO3 is much heavier and much less pocktable. At the size of a GoPro, you don't get memory cards, no replaceable batteries and the Action Pod is not even waterproof. The flip screen will break on your first bad landing. I would much prefer an iterated version of the GO2.
The GO series is about the SIZE and WEIGHT. 34% Increase weight on the Camera unit. Real bad!
My Go 2 heats up like crazy like after 6-7 minutes of shooting then it shuts down. How long can Go3 shoot without heating up and shut down?
Ye i know. Go 2 really has some heating issues
Go3 records over 2hrs woth no issues. I have a comparison with all cameras where i do this test if you wanna check it out
i really dislike how you just assumed the larger storage space's runtime. does that mean that the 128g has a larger battery than the 64? or did you run out of space and only got 2hrs recorded because i just couldnt keep recording?
Well i have 2 and yes i would know… the 128 runs for 2 hrs 37 ish minutes the 64, 1 hrs 45 ish.
6:01 WOW!!! If something had been knocked off that truck that could have been really bad since you were on a bike! Be safe!
Ye, luckily i had my exit to the left if anything😬
@@RobHK I’ve always loved motorcycles. I’ve laid a few down in my younger years but haven’t ridden one in so long I wonder if it’s true that you can’t forget how? 😊 I think it would be some great footage like you’ve done here. Great job. I don’t have any bike videos but maybe I could ride my drone with the 360 on it. 😂😂😂 Oh wait, that’s a great idea, have you done that yet? 🤔👍
No I haven’t, maybe ill put it on the mavic 3 🤔
@@RobHK I used a GoPro attachment and put my iPhone on top of the Mavic 3 last week, but almost had a catastrophe because of the strap I forgot to take off of my iPhone case before lift off. I may post a video about that shortly as an educational post to help others avoid my mistakes! 😳🤦♂️
@RobHK if you watch the video what do you think of the iPhone footage. Isn’t that a strange vantage point especially with rotor sound?
You're lucky...Overheating issues are effective on GO2 models ...I am scared to buy a GO camera again 😨😱. At that price that's indecent!
i got both the 64 and 128gb now, non of these have ever overheated tbh. Tested indoors with no form of cooling.
I am a female. When i wear the pendant, the camera points slightly upward. How do i fix this
What are those orange stripes in the camera?
Skin

I have an X3, should I get Go 3 or Ace?
I love the Go3 tho 😎
Would you guys recommend this Go 3 now in 2024
Ok so owning all of them which one would you actually buy ? 😊
idk seems like the dji action 2 is still a better camera
All youtubers specializing in cameras wear wool hats or caps indoors, I'm starting to think it's tribal attire, or perhaps a sectarian or masonic symbol.
Perhaps😅 my hair is unstylable so it convenient with the hat, when the hair falls off, im dropping the hat
does this have the 360 view?
No, field og view is 134
the only reason why i will get a sports cam is to get a better picture and Video quality that smart phone can offer, if not then i'll use my phone! look at the result.. my phone can do that
Has anyone tried mounting it INSIDE a motorcycle helmet (for a day at the track on a supersport - anyone done this) ? Cant have anything mounted to outside of helmet, and any external bike mounted camera must be safety wired - anybody done track days with this?
Yes, people have done this, I've seen some footage on reddit and it doesn't look bad either.
How do you like the Go 3 compared to the 360 X3? I’m on the expensive fence at the moment. 😊
I can´t go anywhere without the X3 tho.. i pick this over anything, but i also have the GO 3 and Action 4 which i use a lot, so X3, GO 3 & Action 4 is the perfect combo for me. All 3 for different scenarios
@@RobHK Cool, that makes sense. Now you’ve made that fence even wider and more $$$. 😊👍
I like the go 3 better than the X3. Go 3 is easier to use. Automatic settings and go.
It seems like it wouldn't make sense to get the 128GB version, because the battery would die before the memory fills up.....
The 128gb can both record longer(more battery life) and can store more footage than the 64.
@@RobHK The rep at Insta360 told me they both had the same battery. But maybe that rep was a noob. IDK - could not find anything online that said the battery was bigger on the 128mb.
From my understanding the battery is the same, but i have 2x 128gb and 1x 64gb, both 128 records a bit longer for some reason 🤷♂️ not sure why, but reason i got another 128 instead of 64
too expensive and no changeable batterys is kinda no go for me
i don't know about putting a magnet on your chest next to heart?
I really REALLY hate that these things only come in white 😞
no 4k is the deal breaker
Great camera but it's over $400
usually I just buy whichever new model at Costco before my trip and return it afterward, that way I get to try new product every time :)
This was an expensive video😢
Huh?
It's not actually a 360 camera is it?
i’ve watched so many vids about this camera but you covered every ques that I have. also i barely comment on vids so it only means i am very pleased with ur content🫶🏻 can’t wait to purchase my insta go3!!!! btw you recommend this for doing normal vlogs right?
My next vid on the go 3 kicks even harder 🤙🤙
And yeah, vlogging works perfectly if you don’t use external mics, tho the dji mic has internal recording so its a winwim
thanks for the response!🥰 do i need to use a filter to cancel out the wind noise? in some reviews, that’s what they recommended to do…
