Thoroughly enjoyed this review, thank you. I’ve just received my Quick Reader to use with my Go 3, however when I connect it to either my iPhone or a power bank the light just stays blue, doesn’t turn green. Insta 360 tech support are sadly lacking right now. Don’t suppose you’ve come across this issue while conducting your tests have you?
You answered all my questions. I view the Go3S 128 as a camera that doesn't force me to purchase a MicroSD card. I will connect the Action Pod to my laptop and offload videos to my external SSD, while charging the Action Pod and camera. 1 hour max for all
I discovered you a short time a go and instantly subscribed. Your reviews are spot on. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into each of your videos and I can actually follow along with what you are saying. Keep up the good work and have a truly fantastic day.
iPhone Insta360 app downloads around 30-40MB/s with my Go Quick Reader. This speed normal? Seems slow. It is about the same speed as WiFi transfer. Expected it to be faster than WiFi.
Just the video I needed. I love Go3, but the transfer speeds are absolutely atrocious. Frankly, it doesn’t matter into what it will be transferring, that 6-pin port uses USB2 standard, and it will always be slow. The only way to increase transfer speed, is to indeed offload overnight to SD card and then import to the computer. Two questions for you: 1) in scenario when I offload footage to an SD card, and it is removed from the camera, can I still import that footage from SD card to insta360 mobile application? 2) the bug with the create date/time timestamp. Did they ever fix it?
Would be really interested to know how the reader copes with multiple cameras, if you have a go 3 and a go 3s can you move files from both to the same memory card, alternatively can you perform multiple move of files from a single camera throughout the day to keep freeing up the cameras memory, and in either case does it separate the files into different folders at each move or merge them all together ?
I am planning to buy this for convience of freeing the memory. Any advise on what type of micro sd card for me to buy? What brand or specific spec did you use for the device?
For 4K video, I typically would recommend a V30 card from a good brand like Lexar, SanDisk or Samsung (see links below). Because this is not real-time recording, the card specs are probably not quite as critical, but personally, I would still go with a V30 card. Lexar 1066x Silver Series: amzn.to/3J8dVjt Samsung Pro Plus: amzn.to/3PV7u7f SanDisk Extreme: amzn.to/43TKmM7
I guess good read speed would take precedence here. The camera will write at a rate of 30-40 MB/s to anything connected to the reader, even if that card allowed for 1GB/s transfer speed (unless of course the card itself is of lower standard). The higher SD card’s read speed is, the quicker it will offload to the computer.
@@ttl_channel Just posted a few comments and a thought occurred. Is by chance Original Timestamp retained somewhere in the EXIF data of the file? It could be then fairly quickly patched up with exiftool.

Apologies, I thought I had answered this already, but anyway to answer your questions:
1. Yes
2. No

Planning some additional videos with multiple GO3’s and will try to include this - stay tuned.
@@ttl_channel much appreciated

Is the update live?
Which update are you referring to?
@@ttl_channel the issue you mentioned in the video? Where it rewrites the date to the day you transfer the file
No, not yet.

Can this reader read for insta360 go 2?
No, just the go 3 and go 3s
According to Insta360, it is only for the GO 3 and GO 3S. I don't own a GO 2 to test, but I assume it is not compatible.
No. I upgraded from the 2 to the 3S. Do it if you can. Being able to see a live preview is a game changer.
@@zeppelin4646 thx for the info
@@ttl_channel thx for the info
No point in this camera untill it can be charged while recording via a cable
I wouldn't say "no point", but adding a USB-C for in-use charging would be really useful.
