The innovative Insta360 Go 3 is also available in black

The Go 3 is the latest action camera from Insta360, which is shaped like a pill and has an interesting feature – The removable camera housing includes a screen that flips up to view live footage. Although Insta360 cameras are usually only available in one color, the engineers behind the Go 3 camera have done something extraordinary. This will soon also be available in a black color called Matte Black.

All other features remained exactly the same. The Go 3 case enables real-time viewing, regardless of whether the camera is inserted into the case or not. Similar to the previous Go 2, the case also charges the camera, extending battery life from 45 minutes (one charge) to 170 minutes. However, the Go 3's case capabilities and other improvements also mean a higher price compared to the previous model, with the basic 32GB configuration currently available for around $430, or an estimated €400.

Like the Go 2, the Go 3 can shoot from unusual positions and different angles due to its small size, and like the Go 2, it also has a magnetic hanger and a hat clip. New to the Go 3 are an adjustable stand and a number of specification improvements such as longer battery life, slightly higher 2.7K video resolution with no recording limit, water resistance up to 4 meters (when outside the weatherproof case), dual microphones with the possibility of voice commands and a built-in memory capacity of up to 128 GB (for a higher price – around 430 dollars). The Go 3 is slightly heavier than the Go 2 at 35 grams, but the 3.5 gram difference is hardly noticeable and seems like a fair trade-off for the longer battery life and interesting new body.

Smartphones will continue to be the first choice for recording and taking pictures. Nevertheless, the new Go 3 could be a good solution for users who are willing to sacrifice some quality for better portability and convenience. And for additional durability.
