I am lucky to have a choice of action cameras to choose from when I run, travel, cycle or hike. I find that I pick the GO 3 and now the GO 3S more than any other action camera. This video is about what I use it for, and what I think of it. What do you think, is it an 'action' camera or something else?
The Find Me might seem like a gimmick, but it saved me recently. I had accidentally left the Go3S turned on in the pod, but the screen was off so I didn’t know. Find Me later warned me that the battery was very low. Without this i would have gone filming the next day with a completely flat battery 😮.
Thanks for pointing out the backward compatibility. When you have 2 cameras with 1 action pod, how do you choose which camera view is available in the action pod? Are you able to switch views on the fly?
@@ThisIsJulianC Thanks for the quick reply. So if I understand correctly, it views that last camera (#2) that's paired with the action pod, and we cannot switch camera views without re-pairing with the other camera (#1).
Hasn’t been a focus for me. GO 3S has a small sensor which will compromise low light performance compared to other similar cameras. This is the trade off to get the tiny camera unit.
Hi - I couldn’t make full sense of the translation of your question so I’ll answer what I think you were looking for - if you are walking with GO 3S in the action pod, you will have more than enough battery life for a one hour walk. If you are using the camera without the action pod, the battery will last just over half an hour. Hope this answers your question.

Thank you for creating this video. I truly enjoy your perspective on the camera

That’s good to know, I didn’t realize it would tell you the state of the battery. Thanks for sharing 👍

For remote viewing you would need to re-pair the other camera with the action pod. When the camera is dropped in the action pod it’s instantaneous.

Correct
Thank you for the review. Did you used with low light?

What was that if I take 1 hours walk won't be enough?
