The Insta360 GO 3S Portable Vlogging Camera is Insta360’s thumb-sized action camera. It weighs 1.4 ounces and clips onto you instead of needing a hand to hold. It records video at 4K through a new wide-angle lens, and FlowState stabilization keeps footage level while you move. The camera is waterproof down to 33 feet on its own. It ships with the Action Pod, a case with a 2.2-inch flip screen that doubles as a remote and charger, and has 128GB of built-in storage.
Head over to Amazon to get the Insta360 GO 3S Portable Vlogging Camera for just $320, down from its usual price of $380. That’s a $60 discount and 16% off.
The perfect camera for vlogging all your most important moments
Most action cameras require a mount, strap, or hand to maintain direction. Due to its compact size and lightweight nature, the GO 3S can be worn as an accessory, with Insta360 using magnetic mounts. A magnet pendant hangs under your shirt, holding the camera against that area of the fabric for a point-of-view shot, completely eliminating the need for a separate rig. The Easy Clip lets you securely attach the GO 3S to the brim of a hat, while the Pivot Stand features a versatile adhesive that attaches to nearly all surfaces.
The Action Pod makes this usable as a normal camera. It’s a case the GO 3S drops into. Once inside, you get a 2.2-inch flip touchscreen for framing shots, remote control from a distance, and live preview of the lens view. Battery life reaches 140 minutes with the Pod, and it charges the camera while you shoot.
Recording now happens at 4K instead of the 2.7K the previous generation topped out at, and Insta360 also added a larger field of view called MegaView, with less fisheye effect than a standard ultra-wide-angle lens. Both FlowState stabilization and Horizon Lock are combined in these cameras to provide an extremely stable image, regardless of how you move.
As far as water resistance is concerned, there are differences between the camera itself and the Action Pod. The camera is rated at IPX8 and can go down to approximately 33 feet deep underwater with the provided Lens Guard. The Action Pod is only rated IPX4 for water resistance; it’ll withstand rain and snow, but can’t be submerged in water or taken surfing.
Everything you need comes in the box: the camera, Action Pod, Magnet Pendant, Easy Clip, Pivot Stand, and Lens Guard. The Insta360 GO 3S Portable Vlogging Camera is now $320, down from $380. The 128GB of storage is built into the camera rather than a card slot, so you don’t need to buy anything else before shooting.
