Insta360, known for its range of 360-degree cameras that connect to smartphones, today announced the launch of the Insta360 GO 3. The Insta360 GO 3 is the latest version of Insta360's small, portable action camera.


The camera is smaller than thumb size, weighing in at 1.2 ounces. It features a magnetic body that allows it to be mounted in a range of places, and there are several magnetic accessories. The Magnet Pendant can be worn around the neck for first-person POV filming, the Easy Clip can clip on to hats and other headworn accessories, and the Pivot Stand is a reusable sticky mount that also works with selfie sticks and tripods.

Insta360's GO 3 captures 2.7K video, which the company says is ideal for sharing on social media. The camera can be paired with an Action Pod hub that serves as a housing, remote control, and charger for the camera. The Pod offers up to 170 minutes of recording time, and there is a 2.2-inch flip touchscreen that offers real-time remote control and live preview for tough angles.

The Action Pod features an IPX4 water resistance rating, while the GO 3 has an IPX8 water resistant rating that works in water up to 16 feet deep. There are dual microphones for clearer audio than prior versions, and the camera can be controlled with voice commands.

FlowState Stabilization and 360 Horizon Lock have been built-in, and Insta360 says that these features ensure smooth footage and no unwanted tilting or distortion when action shots are being filmed.

The Insta360 GO 3 is available starting at $380 for 32GB of storage, and it can be purchased from the Insta360 website.

These type of articles really make me wish Apple would produce a dedicated camera. I’d love to see what they could do without the size restrictions of the iPhone. A triple camera layout with a larger 1” main sensor backed the power of an A16 would make for an awesome point and shoot. If they can get 4K 120fps with HDR with high but rates, it would be the ultimate pocket video camera too.
 
Insta360 is the only one company I am faster at buying their stuff than at Apple.
Have a ONE X, first time 360° shots were mind blowing.
Have a Go (1st gen.), so lovely small, but several drawbacks as in many first gen thingies.
Have a ONE RS, small, versatile, 360°, under water, 4K HDR. Loving it.
Lots of gear to enhance these little gadgets. Best is the extended selfie stick to be creative or to take drone like shots where drones are forbidden.
Just ordered a Go 3.
 
The wife wanted a GoPro so bad, so we finally got one, but she barely uses it because the user experience is lacking. The device is too heavy, the buttons too awkward to press, and the screen is not as responsive as we'd expect in this day and age.

This device looks like it checks all of those boxes! Slick!
 
I did not know 360 cameras were still around. I remember them being horribly built and futzty!

Thanks for the vid links!

Apple did, and it didn’t go over well…

We had two of those. The 100 in 1994 and the 150 later. They were great for the time. Perfect for getting pictures for web sites then. More memory would've been nice and higher resolution, but that wasn't practical then. I think they may be in a box somewhere.

Agreed, the article/link has pictures of both.
 
Isn’t this post an advert? Does that mean it’s influencing the influencers who influence the influenced?
I don't like how you're influencing me to think that, which makes you an influencer yourself which is who this influencer ad is targeting, which makes you an influencee and an influencer. bam!
