I’ve been using the Insta360 GO 3S for over a year, documenting my move from Hong Kong to Thailand. It quickly became my go-to tiny 4K camera for POV and vlog-style footage thanks to its discreet size. Now Insta360 has released the GO Ultra, and I’ve been testing both side by side.
In this video, I compare the Insta360 GO 3S vs GO Ultra in real-world situations: daylight, low light, vlogging, stabilization, audio, and dynamic range. I also explore new features like the Ultra’s larger sensor, memory card slot, and even a macro lens for unique shots.
If you’re wondering which camera is better for travel, vlogging, or creative filmmaking setups, this hands-on review will help you decide.
