Question 4

What is the storage capacity of GO 3S? How much actual space is available for footage?

GO 3S is available in 64GB/128GB models. Some storage space is used for system files, so about 59.6GB/119.2GB is available for footage.

Question 5

What scenarios are best for the Interval Video feature?

Accepted Answer

Perfect for capturing child POVs, daily vlogs, cycling, and more, Interval Video shoots at preset intervals and turns off to save power when not recording. Combine your Interval Video footage with AI Edit in the Insta360 app to automatically pick the best moments and produce a quick and easy video clip.

Question 6

How does the Apple Find My feature work?

Accepted Answer

To locate GO 3S with Apple Find My, the camera must be in range of the Apple Find My network (within 10-20m of other Apple devices). Nearby Apple devices use Bluetooth to detect and share the camera's location. GO 3S needs battery power to be located by Apple Find My. If the battery runs out, the last known camera location will be displayed.

Question 7

Are GO 3S and GO 3 accessories cross-compatible?

Accepted Answer

Most GO 3S accessories are compatible with GO 3. The Lens Guard, ND Filter Set, and Custom Skin are not cross-compatible due to the different lens size between GO 3S and GO 3. The GO 3 Dive Case is not compatible with GO 3S.
