Insta360 Go 3S Review: I Tried Out the 4K Action Cam at Big Sky, Montana

I took the smallest 4K action cam on a four-day ski trip to Big Sky. While the wearable Go 3S has a smaller image sensor than action cams like the GoPro Hero 13 Black and Insta360 Ace Pro 2, its image quality turned out to be better than I thought it would be. Check out…

    This or x360 x4 for $400 from Costco?

      If you have the budget go for the Insta360 x4. It allows you to capture video in all directions and edit POV later! If you don’t wanna worry about editing etc. go with the one featured here.

      The reason to get the “Go” series is you want the smallest dang action camera you possibly can. You want to put it in places where nothing else would fit, or need something super stealthy. The x4 gets you the ability to shoot 360 and reframe later. The Ace Pro 2 is WAY higher quality (or really any other standard action camera, eg DJI Osmo Action/GoPro) sensor, better low light performance, higher FPS, longer battery life – you name it.

      The Go series is all about that tiny size.

    I bought one last year for my YT video making and I am more than happy with it.

    1:00 do you mean 128 gb of STORAGE? Memory typically means RAM

      Yes

    There is a GO 3/GO 3S Magnet Pendant Safety Cord silicon case that Insta360 and 3rd party vendors make, which I always use whenever I go skiing. I always use it when skiing like a car dash camera (recall Gwyneth Paltrow). Also, I can superimpose my telemetry information automatically, such as speed/elevation/direction/coordinates, with my Garmin watch. The best features is that the phone software will auto edit the highlights and provide clips for me. Instead of the 128GB version, use the money to get the Go 3 downloader to quickly transfer and empty out the video clips onto the microSD card during lunch break.

    I recently bought a SJCam 100 Plus and it has decent stabilization if properly fixed on a mount and have a very good microphone. Much cheaper device.

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
