FAQ

What hardware changed from GO 3?

GO 3S adds a faster processor and a new wide-angle lens for 4K capture. The manufacturer claims 50% greater CPU performance.

How does image quality improve?

The main upgrade is 4K recording, plus up to 200 fps slow motion and 120 Mbps bitrate. MegaView reduces wide-angle edge distortion; these are manufacturer-described benefits.

Can a GO 3 Action Pod be reused?

Yes. Update the GO 3 Action Pod firmware before pairing a GO 3S standalone camera.

How much storage is usable?

The 64 GB and 128 GB models provide roughly 59.6 GB and 119.2 GB for footage after system files.

What is Interval Video useful for?

It periodically records daily activities and saves power between clips. The phone app can automatically select highlights and edit them to music.

How does Apple Find My locate the camera?

A powered camera is detected over Bluetooth by nearby participating Apple devices, which relay its location. A depleted camera shows only its last known location.

Do GO 3 accessories fit GO 3S?

Many accessories work across models. Lens Guards, ND filters, skins and the GO 3 Dive Case differ and are not cross-compatible.

Does GO 3S currently support Insta360+?

The reviewed official FAQ lists GO 3 and GO 3S support as planned for the future, so current Plus plan prices are not treated as applicable.
