Insta360 Go 3S wraps modern action camera in retro body with optical viewfinder
The regular Insta360 Go 3S ($319 on Amazon) is already one of the most unusual cameras on the market, as the manufacturer combines a tiny, 39 gram action camera with a pod that adds a larger battery and a fold-out display, making the camera look more like a GoPro.
In the retro bundle, Insta360 not only gives the camera a retro look, but also replaces this Action Pod with a new base with an optical viewfinder. This viewfinder is located on the top so that photos can be taken from waist height, just like with a classic TLR camera. Alternatively, the viewfinder can be transformed into a mirror for taking selfies.
As this viewfinder, unlike the Action Pod, does not have an integrated battery, Insta360 supplies a battery pack that expands the camera's integrated 310 mAh battery with a 393 mAh battery. The camera can record 38 minutes of video on a single charge, or 76 minutes with the battery pack.
Three retro filters and eleven color profiles are designed to give photos and videos a retro look. The Insta360 smartphone app must be used to change recording modes or adjust settings. The basic features remain unchanged, so the Insta360 Go 3S still uses a 12 megapixel sensor in 1/2.3 inch format and can record 4K videos at 30 frames per second and 1,080p slow motion at up to 200 fps.
Prices and availability
The Insta360 Go 3S Retro Bundle is now available at the Insta360 online store with either 64 GB for $299.99 or 128 GB for $319.99. In addition to the camera, the bundle also includes a battery, an NFC skin, a retro viewfinder, a cord and a magnetic pendant. The Action Pod with fold-out display, which is included in the cheaper standard bundle, is not included in the retro bundle.
