    That digital zoom needs careful testing against cropping in editing - for instance as I recall it the DJI Pocket 2 had such a feature and it did clever stuff with the sensor such that it was actually better than cropping. "Kids mode" also sounds handy for elderly users like me....

      Good point Peter - I'll get round to that - I think it will be image quality that may go down a bit, but it may well be workable with - will test and vlog with it and see how it is received. Next trip is on July 3rd down to Christchurch for the day, so will post a vlog shortly after that. Kids mode will be useful for all kinds of use cases I think, as well as the one you mention. I think I'll be using it in certain situations too. Cheers!

      @@TheTechPacker I look forward to your testing. With the P2 they did it by using unused pixels from the quad beyer sensor. The P3 doesn't have that kind of sensor so its zoom is a simple crop. It will be interesting to see how the Go 3s performs in this scenario.

    When you make your Quick Reader video can you let us know if it imports the clip and sorts them according to when they were recorded or is it sorted according to when they are imported? What i mean by this is, i edit my Travel/Vacation videos chronologically. I import my Go3 videos, X4 and Ace Pro videos to my ipad at the end of the day. Later i export them in their recorded order to my camera roll. If i skip entering my Go3 or Go3s videos until days later, will those videos stored on the Quick Reader's SD card put the videos on my Insta360 album by the day they were shot or will they go at the end and import as though they were recorded that day? If you have a Go3 and Go3s, i wonder if the footage between the two is timestamped and then transferred to an ipad or iphone in the order they were recorded, too.

    I found the X3, X4, and Ace Pro to all have similar colors in their respective Standard, Vivid etc. profiles but my GO 3 always was different and seemed flatter, you had to select Vivid to get close to Standard on the Insta360 cameras... the GO 3S has resolved this and now has a pleasant and saturated Standard profile that combines well with footage from the X4 and Ace Pro shooting in Standard... good job Insta360!

    I have the Go 3 and welcomed the new software upgrades. The fixed capture length is great, but always defaults to 10 min when the camera is out of the pod and the pod is out of range or off. No matter what I do, can’t seem to fix this. I have the single press/double press settings set for 15 sec, but it still defaults to 10 min. Hmmm…maybe a factory reset will help

    hey is there a way to keep the go3s recording in the landscape form even though the go3s is kept in a vertical orientation
    ?

    • @intrepidchimp
      @intrepidchimp Месяц назад +1

      I don't think so without using free frame which will wind up with a crop. I believe the reason for this is that they were able to achieve the 4K using the same sensor and more processing by using slightly more of the total sensor by way of a better lens. In other words, you can either have landscape filming with a vertical camera with the go 3 at 2.7k or you can have the Go 3S at 4K but the camera has to be oriented the right way. I think when they took away this feature they made the mode shifting automatic, so at least there's that. 🫤

      @@mice_cowski not according to everyone that I've heard talk about it. Everyone seems to concur that it is due to greater processing ability because of a faster chip and because of the new lens. Furthermore, this reality fully explains why you can't shoot vertical with a horizontal camera and horizontal with a vertical camera anymore if it is using the full sensor where it wasn't exactly using the full sensor before.

      @@intrepidchimp I've seen one site say it's 1/2" sensor, Best Buy says 1/2.3" and others like B&H say the size is unspecified so now I'm rethinking my previous comment. Also, considering the reviews and Insta360 don't mention it but instead emphasize the lens, I would concur the lens plays a significant role in this. Having said all of that, the ability to mount the camera in any direction and still have a level horizon with unchanged image quality was a hallmark feature of the Go cameras and now that it doesn't, that's a dealbreaker.

    @MpchBrwn Месяц назад +2

    Please can you share your thoughts about the freeframe mode? Now in my opinión is useless, no reframe, no tilt/roll, no keyframes, and if you want horizont lock you have to crop a lot with the view 360 Horizon lock. All due to the bigger lens desing.
    By the way really improvement in image quality over go3.

      @MpchBrwn Месяц назад

      ​@@intrepidchimpit's all because the new lens size, that allows the image to cover the whole sensor, so now there is no way to reframe without croping a lot, check the view mode 360 Horizon level under freeframe mode , but still no rotate neither adding keyframes. Those are the reason while i returned It, besides of that the image quality is much better
