New features of the Insta360 Go 3S

Reasons to buy the Insta360 Go 3S

• Best wearable camera The Go 3S is the best wearable action camera of the moment, offering amazing that rivals classic action cameras while remaining extremely lightweight.
• Modular With Insta360's ActionPod, the Go 3S becomes a full featured action camera, with extended battery life and a flip screen. This versatility can make it a jack of all trades for vlogging, interviews, POV footage.

Reasons to avoid the Insta360 Go 3S

• Only built-in storage The Go 3S has built-in storage (64GB or 128GB) but does not allow extending that storage with and SD card, unless you purchase an extra accessory, the Quick Reader. Other cameras like the GoPro Hero 13 Black, Insta360 Ace Pro or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro, offer a SD card slot allowing up to 1TB of storage.
• Not waterproof with the ActionPod While waterproof down to 197ft / 60m with the dedicated diving case, the Go 3S cannot be used with the ActionPod and a diving case, meaning you will quickly be limited by the battery life and built-in storage when taking underwater footage. If you plan on snorkeling or scuba-diving a lot, you might want to consider the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro or even a 360 camera like the Insta360 X3 which offer great underwater footage at a similar price.
• Modularity comes at a cost The modularity of the Go 3S means it is more expensive than other action cameras offering similar or even better performance. If you don't need the versatility of the Go 3S, you could consider the GoPro Hero 13 Black, Insta360 Ace Pro or DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro which all offer superior performance at a similar pricepoint.
