As far as panoramic and tiny POV action cameras go, Insta360 dominates the market. Their new Insta360 GO 3S Retro bundle transforms the tiny pin-like camera into a street-ready shooter with film filters. This special edition Retro bundle includes Retro Viewfinder, film-inspired filters, and other accessories to provide better handling.
At its core is a colourful special-edition Insta360 GO 3S device weighing only 39g. Compared to the previous Insta360 GO 3 the S version offers 4K video and FlowState Image Stabilisation, better low light performance and weather sealing. It features FreeFrame video, which lets you export the recording in various aspect ratios, ready for platforms like Instagram or TikTok. Alongside the 11 built-in colour profiles, the bundle includes 5 new film styles and 3 film filters.
The Insta360 GO 3S can be used as a standalone device or inserted into the Retro Viewfinder case, which features an optical waist-level viewfinder, which, in combination with its compact size and inconspicuous look, makes it ideal for street photography. There’s also a built-in selfie mirror for quick self-portraits.
A battery pack clips onto the back of the viewfinder, providing up to 76 minutes of recording and allowing charging while the camera is in use. With improved weatherproofing, the 3S can even record underwater up to 33ft /10m depth. To review your footage, you can connect to your smartphone with one tap, using the NFC Custom Skin function.
With a pocketable form factor and undeniably handsome retro design, the Insta360 GO 3S is now available in Canvas White and Classic Red in two storage options. The 64GB version is priced at $279 / £239, while the 128GB sells for $299 / £259.
