Comparison of the C110 Plus vs the Go 3
Weight and size
The Go 3 is a slightly smaller camera. The Go 3 weighs a little less than the C110 Plus.

Why size and weight matter:
Weight is important for action cameras because we often mount them on helmets, or hold them at the end of a selfie stick while moving. Therefore a heavier camera can be dvifficult to use or uncomfortable. Weight is even more crucial for certain sports like road cycling or running.
Battery life
The C110 Plus offers a much larger battery capacity. Neither camera has a removable battery.

Why battery life matters:
Nothing worse than running out of battery just before capturing the best footage of the day! A long battery life is reassuring and convenient when shooting footage outdoors where options to charge are limited. Even the use of a power bank can be tedious or simply impossible like when filming watersports. Having removeable batteries allows battery swapping on the go which further extends your runtime.
Storage
Only the Go 3 features built-in storage. Only the C110 Plus supports SD cards, the Go 3 is therefore limited to it's built-in storage.

Storage not extendable
Why storage matters:
High quality footage can quickly take up lots of space and insufficient storage can soon be frustrating. Having a large amount of storage and the possiblity to extend it or swap SD cards while on a outing will ensure you will always be able to capture the footage you want. However, smaller, wearable action cameras often rely on built-in storage because of their small size.
Video performance
Neither camera offers HDR video.
