We review the Insta360 Go 3, a very unusual action camera.
The Go 3, which refers to the small detachable camera module, weighs just 1.25 ounces and measures 2.1 inches on the long side, 1 inch on the shorter side, and is 0.9 inches in depth . By itself, it’s smaller and lighter than any other camera I’ve used. It’s very manageable to slip into tight spaces and mount on all sorts of things where larger, heavier action cameras can start feeling like a whole production to get it going.
The backside doesn’t have any camera functionality, but it does have magnetic powers. It’s a main component in the Go 3 ecosystem and is central to each accessory. Outside of the accessories, it can just as well stick straight to magnetic objects as commonplace as the refrigerator in your house or onto the hood of your car. It’s a fairly strong magnet and to date, I haven’t had any accidental drops because it couldn’t hold on.
To charge the Go 3 module, it gets placed into the Action Pod where it then automatically starts recharging, kind of like how Apple AirPods work with its charging case. So the Action Pod also has its own 1270 mAh integrated battery that recharges through USB-C. When the Go 3 battery is dead, it can be thrown into the Action Pod to recharge and keep shooting.
The Easy Clip is poorly designed and I didn’t use it much. The exemplary use is for mounting the Go 3 onto the bill of a cap. I also tried it out with my dog’s collar for some pet POV. There is no mechanism to expand the jaws making installation incredibly difficult and is prone to damaging anything it slides over. It’s also very wide, making it not work on many cylindrical objects.
