Hands down the best illustration of how the free frame mode works I've seen on the internet! Excellent review!

Thanks... channel is only a few months old... enjoying every minute of it. GO 3 is a lot of fun, took it on a trip recently, found I am using to a lot more than just for running. Video coming soon :-)

Hi I hadn't seen a video notification of yours lately but I just ordered this camera a few days ago. I enjoyed all your fenix and epix reviews and now I enjoyed your points of view as I also want it for running. Thank you very much and Kudos from Belize.

Thanks - glad you like it 👍👍

Excellent Julian I've just bought this device and your explanations and non biased views have been really helpful. Thanks again. When running like I do would your preference be using the clip on the hat or the magnetic pendant?

Glad it helped & thanks for your comments. When running I use the hat clip and the selfie stick, they both work really well. I tried the pendant running but it doesn't work for me. Although the magnet holds the camera on the pendant through your clothing, it still moves around a lot when running. This is (a) very annoying and (b) means the footage is unusable. For other activities such as hiking or city touring, the pendant is excellent.

Very interesting...I've used the GoPro Hero range in the past and this Insta360 definitely offers some use cases beyond the GoPro. As you said, more of an addition to, rather than a replacement for. Good you pointed out the lack of 4k and your personal points that you think could be improved. With tech reviews of any kind, I would suggest adding the MSRP of the product somewhere in the video (I prefer near the start, USD price always fine, apologies if I missed it) so you know where it sits price-wise against the competition. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the feedback - always welcome and helpful. And yes the price would have been good to include, my miss. The 128GB version is $429 right now, I’ll add something to the description or a pinned comment to include it.

There are only 2 Mics on the Go 3. The bottom hole is the beeper/speaker.

Good to know 👍

Trying to figure out if the you can run with the pendant mount? Or does it jiggle or fall off when running? Looking for options for a run into the Grand Canyon next month. Also how bouncy is the hat clip? I really am looking for a camera that I can just use the on the trail and not carry the larger case.

I tried running with the pendant, it didn't work. because of the magnet the camera and pendant fob will stay in place on your running shirt but the fabric of the shirt will still bounce around taking the camera and pendant fob with it, so it's pretty unusable for that. The hat clip is perfect for running, you will forget it is even there, especially if you place the clip so the camera is mounted above the hat brim so its outside your field of view. It doesn't bounce or move around at all. If you are using the camera on its own remember the battery is around 40 minute or so, to recharge it you will need the action pod.

Insta360 Go 3 now offered in black.

It looks much better IMO

Really want to get one of these but I might just wait for the GO 4

If they add 4k, a larger sensor and external mic support, upgrading to a future GO 4 would be very compelling.

I have the osmo pocket 3. Would having the go 3 or go 3s be a useful addition especially as a runner?

@ThisIsJulianC

I would say so yes. I don’t use the Pocket 3 at all for running, it’s not really designed for that. Pocket 3 is better for walking/talking to camera and b-roll. Not action sports. I use the GO 3 a lot when running. Hope this helps.

i am still hesitant to buy. I am waiting for go 4. hoping they have 4k video and expandable memory.

I would expect to see 4K video resolution in a GO 4, but I think they will stay away from adding expandable memory. Insta360 have done a terrific job getting all the necessary components inside that small GO 3 camera module. If they added a microSD card slot that would require space inside the camera unit and a waterproof cover for the slot too. More likely is that they drop the 32GB memory version and offer 128GB and 256GB internal memory options in the next gen GO camera. Thats my prediction.

Hi JC thx for the video and have to say you have a interesting channel 🏃‍♂📸👊🏻 but from your videos I can't see if any insta 360 X3 videos and was wondering what your opinion is regarding it if you have any thoughts. I've bought the X3 earlier this year but sold it for different a reason you might think. I enjoyed making my kind of running hiking videos but the 5.7k does take to much space up on my hard drive and as most people really watch YT on there phone I actually think 1080 is fine. If the Go 3 wasn't available I would just go and buy a new X3 but now since it is I'm not sure which one to get. If you want to have a look at my channel to see how I've used the X3 you're welcome otherwise I'd like to here which on you recommend based on my commend. Ps going forward it would be used to film my runs, and the X3 has to be on the selfie stick but the Go 3 could gp on a cap... I need help 🤷🏼‍♂ thx 🙏

When it comes to 360 cameras I have no real experience of the Insta360 X3. I have used a GoPro Max extensively but it has not really suited me to run with it. The X3 and the Max are very similar in terms of capabilities, I am underwhelmed with the finished reframed 1080 footage so I do not use it for YT. I also have found that the reframing effort needed in post production of 360 footage is more time consuming than just framing the shot in real time while filming with the GO 3 or a GoPro Hero. If I was mountain biking or taking a car off road it would be different, but with what I do; running biking and hiking, I find it easier to not have to reframe in post. With all that in mind… my recommendation if you are looking specifically at Insta360 cameras for running is to use the GO 3. It is fun to run with and the stabilized footage is good enough for running. The flip up screen works well and… after I filmed this video, the GO 3 took a fall on the concrete road and survived without any major damage at all. So it’s quite robust. Let me know what you decide… hope this helps

@@ThisIsJulianC hi thx your in-depth reply. I’ll give it some more thought but I’ve been looking at my old videos and shorts and are leaning towards the X3

just to let you know the hole nearest the shutter button is a speaker great video otherwise
