Insta360 GO 3S is an ultra-compact action camera that records detailed 4K video, offers top-tier FlowState stabilization, and thanks to magnetic mounting keeps your hands free. You’ll also appreciate waterproofing up to 10 m, gesture and voice control, the wide-angle MegaView FOV mode, and the convenient Action Pod with a flip-up touchscreen and longer battery life.
4K footage and wide MegaView FOV
Despite its tiny size, Insta360 GO 3S captures vivid 4K video, and with MegaView FOV you can capture a wider scene without unnecessary distortion. Perfect for travel, sports, and everyday moments.
Hands-free shooting with magnetic mounting
Built-in magnets and compatible accessories let you easily attach the camera to clothing, a helmet, or gear and record from a first-person point of view. When your hands are full, gesture control, voice commands, and QuickCapture for instant recording start will help.
Action Pod: flip-up screen and longer battery life
The Action Pod module adds convenient control, preview, and framing thanks to the 2.2" flip-up touchscreen. It also extends battery life from about 38 min up to 140 min and is splash-resistant (IPX4).
Capture every moment from your own perspective—on trips, cycling, running, and at the water. Insta360 GO 3S combines compact dimensions with 4K resolution and smart modes that make it easier to create content for social media as well as home videos. The Easy Switch function lets you instantly switch between vertical and horizontal video, and Interval Video takes care of automatic recording at intervals and saves battery.
Thanks to FlowState stabilization and 360° Horizon Lock, your footage stays smooth even during dynamic movement. The camera is also waterproof up to 10 m, and control is made easier with QuickCapture (fast recording start even when the device is off), gestures, or voice commands.
