Specs and details
Overview
The Insta360 GO 3S is a 1.38 oz (39.1 g) camera you can clip, stand or hang almost anywhere with its magnetic mounts, then dock in the Action Pod to use its flip screen. It records 4K video at up to 30 fps, 2.7K at 50 fps and slow motion at 1080p up to 200 fps, at up to 120 Mbps. Interval Video films in short bursts and switches off in between to save battery, and the camera can be found with Apple Find My.
Storage is built in: 64 GB (about 59.6 GB usable) or 128 GB (about 119.2 GB usable), so there is no card to buy or lose. The camera runs about 38 minutes on its own and about 140 minutes with the Action Pod in Insta360's lab test, and it charges to 80 percent in the Pod in about 23 minutes. The GO 3S is waterproof to 33 ft (10 m) with its lens guard on; the Action Pod is IPX4 splashproof.
What each kit includes
- Standard, 64GB and Standard, 128GB: GO 3S with that much storage, the Action Pod, lens guard, Magnet Pendant, Pivot Stand and an Easy Clip.

Is it for you?
Good for
- POV and everyday clips: a 1.38 oz camera with magnetic mounts
- People who would rather not manage memory cards: 64 or 128 GB built in
- Child POV clips, daily vlogs and cycling with Interval Video
Not the right pick if
- You use a pacemaker: Insta360 warns against wearing GO 3S on the chest or using the Magnet Pendant
- You want 4K at 60 fps or a larger sensor: GO Ultra records 4K60 with a 1/1.28-inch sensor
- You want 360 video: GO 3S films one flat view
What the maker made it for
- POV video from a cap, chest or handlebar
- Daily vlogs and child POV clips
- Timelapse and slow motion
Tips
- Keep the lens guard on in water: the 33 ft rating is with the guard fitted, and the Action Pod is splashproof (IPX4) only
- Charge the Action Pod over USB-C; the camera charges inside the Pod
- A GO 3 Action Pod works with GO 3S after a firmware update
In the box
- Insta360 GO 3S x1 (64 GB or 128 GB built in)
- Action Pod x1
- Lens guard (fitted), Magnet Pendant, Pivot Stand and Easy Clip (every kit; Vlog and Creator add the items listed in the description)
Questions
Is the Insta360 GO 3S waterproof?
The camera is waterproof to 33 ft (10 m) with its lens guard in place. The Action Pod is IPX4 splashproof, so it should stay out of the water.
How long does the GO 3S battery last?
About 38 minutes from the camera alone and about 140 minutes with the Action Pod, in Insta360's lab test at 1080p30 with the screen and Wi-Fi off.
Does the GO 3S need a memory card?
No. GO 3S has 64 GB or 128 GB built in, with about 59.6 GB or 119.2 GB usable for footage. The Vlog and Creator kits come with the 128 GB version.
Which GO 3S kit should I get?
Standard has the camera, Action Pod, lens guard, Magnet Pendant, Pivot Stand and Easy Clip. Vlog adds a mini tripod, a quick release mount, a flexible pocket mount and a screen protector; Creator adds a quick release mount, the Quick Reader and the flexible pocket mount.
What is the difference between the GO 3S and the GO Ultra?
GO 3S is smaller and lighter (1.38 oz against 1.9 oz) and has storage built in. GO Ultra adds a larger 1/1.28-inch sensor, 4K at 60 fps, 50 MP photos, a microSD slot and up to 200 minutes with its Pod.
Do GO 3 accessories work with the GO 3S?
Most do. Insta360 says the GO 3 Lens Guard, ND Filter Set, Custom Skin and Dive Case do not fit the GO 3S, and a GO 3 Action Pod needs a firmware update first.
