Insta360 GO 3S | A Realistic Week in the Life of a Content Creator

- Hi Everyone!
Thank you to Insta360 for sponsoring a portion of this video. They did not pay me for this video nor did they have a say in the type of video I could make, however they were kind enough to send me the brand new Insta360 GO 3S to use and provide my honest thoughts and opinons.
If you’re new here, I don’t review cameras like tech channels. Instead, I use them in my daily workflow as a creator and vlogger. My goal is simple. To show you the kind of footage the Insta360 GO 3S can get and how it integrates into my vlogs.
In this video, we’re doing a realistic week in the life of a content creator shot on the new Insta360 GO 3S, a 4k update to the already awesome GO 3.
The new Insta360 GO 3S can now shoot in 4k 30fps and 2.7k 50fps for those times you want to slow down some footage. The 4k footage is an awesome update for me and my workflow as it inegrates seamlessly with my other 4k footage/cameras.
I hope you enjoy the Vlog!

Thank you to Insta360 for sponosoring a portion of this video. They did not pay me for this video nor did they have a say in the type of video I could make, however they were kind enough to send me the brand new Insta360 GO 3S to use and provide my honest thoughts and opinons as a lifestyle vlogger.
If you’re new here, I don’t review cameras like tech channels. Instead, I use them in my daily workflow as a creator and vlogger. My goal is simple. To show you the kind of footage the Insta360 GO 3S can get and how it integrates into my vlogs.
EDIT: I was just made aware in the comments that the pendant is thicker for stronger magents (not for better POV angles) and that the previous easy clips also had magnets, the only difference is the graphic to show you which way the camera connects! My mistake!
Hi Mikee, love your vlogs and love supporting you. I am a little disappointed to find this information in the pinned comments instead of explicitly mentioned in the video and in the description box. Given the scandal that Insta360 is embroiled in with the tech community where they have asked influencers to disguise the sponsorship/gifting, it makes me wonder if you have been asked the same. Did I kiss the disclaimer?
@@Introverted_wanderlust Hey... I'm sorry you feel that way. It's the first line in the description (I just added it to pinned comments as well) and the paid promo tab is on so you get notified at the beginning of any video that is sponsored. But about the scandal that broke the youtube tech internet lol, I wasn't asked to disguise anything. I'm such a small channel that there's no reason to hide or for me to hide, a sponsorship. In fact, that's something I've been very vocal about wanting - sponsorships 🙌🏼
But I can totally see where you are coming from. As I've watched many reviews today, it feels like half of them didn't put the paid promo notification on or talk about sponsorship either. This is something I've noticed a lot with these big creators regardless of company or brand, not just insta360. There's such a grey area whether something is or isn't sponsored when it comes to free products.
So as I was filming, I was treating this as a non-sponsored video.
It wasn't until the night prior to posting I decided it should be sponsored because I asked advice from a creator friend. And she mentioned she considers it a sponsorship over a certain dollar amount of what a product is worth. So to be safe, I added the disclaimers. I figured better to be safe than sorry with the FFC, or risk demonetization.
Hopefully, this gives you more clarity. Part of my journey here atm is about being open and honest in what I'm going through as a creator. The highs and lows. Wins and losses. And honestly - if they asked me to do that... you better believe I'd call it out on the Vlog! 😂
@@MikeeRogers Thanks Mikee, I must have missed the disclaimer in the description box. It's just that I'm very wary now of RUclipsrs who don't disclose receiving products or getting paid to review products, as I've been burned before. Also, with the issues with Insta360, can't help but be more conscious when watching reviews. It's a shame because their products are good, I have the X4 and it's fantastic, I wish they just allowed the products to speak for themselves instead of being dodgy with their requests. I don't have anything against sponsored videos, it is really just another form of marketing and talents should be paid for their work, I am against non-disclosure of said arrangements. Thank you for clarifying and I will continue to support you, love that you are doing this for yourself! Good luck!
@@Introverted_wanderlust Appreciate you and I totally agree with you and share the same sentiments.
Cute? Absolutely 😎 Awesome video Mikee!
🫶📸
You were the first RUclipsr I saw post about this camera. I just ordered this camera and subbed to your channel .
Thank you! Appreciate the support and hope you enjoy the camera! I take it everywhere!
Hi Mikee! So glad you’re posting more, loving the content. Thanks for posting and sharing some of your life with us. I lived in SD briefly almost 15 years ago and it would be fun to see you out and about for some nostalgia of the city/area. 😊
Thanks so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it when I know what my subs like, helps me and the channel out greatly so thank you again!
ahh this camera is so cute! ive been eyeing this for a while and i cant believe they have an even better version out!!!!!! i told myself that if i can post consistently for a few months with what i have, i will consider getting this!! ❤
I was also shocked they updated it in such a short amount of time but it's definitely worth it! That sounds like a good compromise to me!
Finally couldn't resist the temptation and upgraded to GO3S from GO3. Here are some initial findings: 1.The neck pedant is much better now, the wedge is gone. The cap mount is now magnetic so I can tilt the while firmly fixed on the neck pedant. This reduce the need for freeframe video. 2.The side of the detachable camera body now has a grooved design so it is less slippery to hold on to. 3.The video quality of the 4K/30 is great so far. This is a fun b roll camera. I won't use it for any serious photo shooting so it does the job. 4.The Freeframe mode is limited to 4:3 instead of 16:9. Something you must be aware of if upgrade. 5. The camera UI seems snappier overall. The GO3 wasn't slow by any means. 6.The sticky stand is now improved. Flexible base can adhere to curved surfaces better. Slimmed down and has a cover flap that cannot be removed so you won't lose it. I am not sure how secure it is comparing to the old one with the detachable (losable) sticker cover.
I live in san diego too. It's a nice city to live in. There's a heatwave right now across the country, and it stays pretty much in the mid 70s where i live. I love san diego weather.
Thank you!
so jealous, going to Japan. Have fun and be safe
Thanks Nora, excited to take you along!
Great showcase of the camera!
Yes!!! That type of content would be interesting, at least once in a while. Genuinely value what you think about certain products and experiences. It’s a really great mix of objective and subjective and you explain yourself well!!
Thank you for the feedback! Super appreciated!
I’m loving the longer content! But also, I want to reply to everything! Like- sorry about your bad morning and then the lake was closed?! But I loved your fishing outfit! The insta360 camera looks like it belongs in my kit 🧐 and why do you always make me crave little every meal you eat and I don’t even eat red meat! Haha that in and out looked bomb. I agree, potato is the superior carb! AND anyone who loves wing stop fries is a psycho lol (respectfully!) would love some San Diego content! We love SD and only ever focus on breweries lol so would love to know about some good eats ☺️
Haha, thank you! And I was hoping I didn't offend anyone with my thoughts about the Wingstop fries but glad you agree! And I could see this GO 3S being awesome for your travel content!
I’d be grabbing one of these if it was actually 360, but it’s still tempting!
Another great video! I go to San Diego often, so I would love to know of more places to eat LOL
John! Thanks buddy! And thanks for letting me know about your interest in SD eats haha... cause I love to eat 😭
Great video Mike! I’m about to get my feet wet in content creation so I’m looking for some inspiration. I also just got the go3s and I’m excited to use it. I love your camper van. Consider a video about it? Also you made me miss CA in this video. I moved to West Texas 6 years ago and the things I miss the most about CA, are in this video. The hiking, beach, landscapes overall, and of course In-N-Out! I’m trying that Onion Dutchman in my next trip there during Thanksgiving. Nd by the way, spot on description of Wing Stop fries. Thanks for this vid, I look forward to more.
Hey! I have a playlist for my van, a few videos on there but hoping to take it out more this summer. Love that thing. Glad I got to give you a lil bit of CA in this video. And thank you for validating my wing stop fry mini review lol.
The best camera! I have the Go 3 for a while now and this 3s iss absolutely amazing!
Yes yes yes. We are interested in food places and food spots 🤣🤤
Your content is so fun! Love the long vids too! I live in El Paso TX and we don’t have an in n out but ive been to one and I love it.
P.S. onion lover here too 🧅❤️
Haha thanks! If you like to cook there are some good tiktok recipes for that in-n-out burger! I might try it myself!
Love the video,i have a go3 and fairly happy but it can't compete with my gp11 on image,would you say this 3s is close on image,difficult to judge on youtube, thanks
Nice! Just bought ace pro week’s ago 😢really wanted an upgraded GO3. Can’t afford 2 cameras.
What about seafood truck reviews? I tried 2 in SD and man, amazing food. Hopefully one day i run into u in SD 😝
Saludos desde Palm Desert California!
Always love your videos! This one couldn’t have come out a better time; I just got my hands on an Insta360 Go 2 (I know, it’s a bit older 😅) and have been using it for the past few days and LOVE it. It’s soooooo convenient and fun to use. I’m definitely keeping my eye out on that 3S because of the 4K res 🤩 What did you think about the battery life on this one?
The GO series in general are so handy, glad you're loving the GO 2! Battery life has been great! Especially with the action pod.
Hi 🙋♀️ Mikee... Sorry, I am late, but I am a busy person. I will always watch every video, whether I am early or late. Great work. I would have loved to see you put the bike on the vehicle whether you could do it or not. That makes good content because everything does not have to be perfect. Great video as always!! 😊💖
Hi Nan! You're never late but sorry I'm late on replies, catching up on comments! I didn't end up recording the bike shot but I should have! I'm pretty sure it would have looked hilarious haha.
OMG OMGOMG!!! I would love to win that black INSTA GO!!! aww so sweet of you! i'm excited!!!
I'm in SD too, had no idea that lake was closed, lol. You would need an ocean rod for Coronado. No more InnOut for this gal, doctor's orders. You need to try Beef N Bun off Navajo/Fletcher Pkwy...yum fries and shakes...I get the grilled chicken combo with extra fries (2x/yr)-Walk-in or drive thru. Camera is crazy tiny, great job!
Oooh will check out Beef N Bun, thanks! Right, camera is so small! And hey... health first! I don't eat much beef.
Thinking to get one, can GO 3S zoom in & out and any pause feature ?? 🤔
Love this!!! Can you pls show us how you clip your camera to yourself when you do this walking videos like going to In-N-Out scene for example? Hahaha because that looks like an easy and effortless filming that I could maybe do so I can post cooking shows without having to worry about camera placement 🤣 and easier to maybe do vlogs that are very realistic without having to think so much about aesthetics hahaha
And yessss whatever video you share I'll watch hahaha! Like "Mikee's Mini-Adventures" to wherever or whatever you want to try!!!
Hi you! So both the GO 3 and GO 3S, the small cameras are magnetic and they come with a magnet pendant you where under your shirt like a necklace and you can stick the camera on for POV! Also, good to hear we didn't get taken advantage of for pricing, hard to find comps! I messaged you on IG about the hammock btw!
Planning to head to Japan to Fly FPV primarily on the east coast (the Go3S - 4K is a big deal). I have been waiting to try the Go series. I am familiar with Insta360 action cameras. The lack of 4K has held me back until now. The closest other option is the ThumbPro but no internal battery is a hassle.
Pick me and maybe I can connect and film you in Japan surfing?
Families can connect!
😂 you risking it all for the content great video!
😂😂😂
Hey I think it would be nice for you to do a GRWM morning/night routine or picking out different outfits for the summer or going out !
Had no intention of watching this whole thing but I did. Great content!
Ayeee, thank you! Appreciate that!
Hey! I love your Jed Cal Rule of Thirds shirt!
are you recording with the in camera mic? or is it an external mic? sounds pretty good, not bad!!
I was using the internal mic of the camera the whole time!
😮 I looooooove wing stop fries!
🫣🫣🫣 maybe the ones in SD don't know how to make them! lol
@@MikeeRogers 😅 it’s ok! The first time I tried WS I didn’t understand what the big deal was. I was NOT impressed. Then I went again MANY years later, and was like ooooooh this is much better than last time 😏
Quickly glanced through the comments to see if anyone commented about the hat clip. The hat clip can also magnetically attach to the pendant.
OMG thank you for letting me know. That'll be so convenient switching POV angles.
I live in Otay and I would love to see more San Diego best spots videos!
i love onions, too! ❤
So good with everything!
bro i need to decide which action camera to buy either go 3s or ace pro, can you make ace pro normal vlog video?
Tough choice! I have a tough mudder video with the Ace Pro! ruclips.net/video/CgjLotoarAM/видео.html
"onion wh*re" 😂😂😂
😂😂😂, I need a do over for more onions lol
Nice video 15:06 Starbucks lost me when they had a machine make the espresso shots instead of a barista. Starbucks isn’t good anymore.
Toally agree. I usually go for convenience but I usually do love the iced brown sugar shaken espresso.
Ughh I just bought the go 3 recently but now I’m debating returning it to get this one! 😂
If you could return it, I would! 🤣
@@MikeeRogers Haha I’m debating it since I’m within the return window and it’s still new since I only used it twice 😂 I’m just a bit skeptical since I bought it on Amazon and they haven’t been great with returns lately 🙄
3:59 So assuming it fits it works...correct? As I am thinking maybe just get the GO 3S camera only for my GO 3.
I was scared to turn them on. Didn’t want to mess anything up so I’m not sure! However, I don’t think they sell the camera alone without the action pod.
@@MikeeRogers They do sell it separately which was very surprising. $260 savings. Looks like it does via a firmware update to my GO 3 👍🏻
“I’m an onion whore” #relatable 😂 Loving the BTS, and loving seeing you push through with some of the challenges, Mikee! It is what it is, and you just roll with it!
Question on the Insta360 GO 3S: How’s the lowlight performance? Is it better? We have the predecessor - Agreed that it works best in bright light, but it performs poorly in lowlight conditions!
Hey guys! Honestly, I don't think much has changed in terms of low light performance.
@@MikeeRogers OK, that’s what we thought! Thanks for confirming! Have a great Sunday Mikee!
13:56 I noticed how blown out the lighting is outside of your window and that was always my main concern with the original go 3, When it's sunny outside, the image often gets blown out
The image here of the widow is blown out because I have face metering on and HDR turned off (I hate how HDR looks on skin tones). But shooting in full sun with the GO3 and the GO3s hasn't given me many problems. I did pick up some ND filters recently so excited to see how that looks. I also recommend taking down the exposure if you feel the picture is coming out overexposed for your liking or grabbing some filters. I have the DJI Pocket 3 and that thing overexposes like crazy but ND filters have worked wonders.
@@MikeeRogers The picture is not overexposed but all of the bright parts and the sky is whenever I shoot with the go3 outdoors
LOVE YOURRRRRR CONTENT! fAN !!!
Thank you! Will be scheduling the live soon!
Apple Find My, too cool!!!
Right?! We need more of that in tech!
The reader (to connect to the iphone to transfer files instead of wireless) is not showing in any bundle that I can see. Probably something extra to pay for.
Yea, I think it’s an add on accessory. I think it’s useful for creators on the go, especially short form but I’m always at my desk when grabbing the footage so haven’t used it.
Can you do a low light video?
I'm also considering buying this go 3s or should I wait for 4? 😂😂😂
Haha, if I were to guess, I'd say a 4 would be out in a year or so.
I love pototoes over bread too!! 😋
Team 🥔🍟
😅it is so Bad, the new 3s has no freeframe mode like the Go 3. 4K is nice to have, but real freeframe is much more important for the Go Camera i think.
The GO3S has freeframe.
@MikeeRogers but not only the full functionality, right?
@@morgenmicha Not sure what you mean? I used it the other day in freeframe 4k 30. Haven't downloaded the footage yet.
Did you use any nd filter in your footage?
I didn’t. My filters came in after the video
@@MikeeRogers have you tried them? Any difference? I plan to use the insta as a way to get quick creative B rolls. My main camera is a Sony a6700. I also have a Gopro10.
I love San Diego! I live in Sacramento so I’d love to see you hanging out in different areas in San Diego!
Awesome, thank you for the feedback!
You said the thicker magnet in the pendant "helps with the POV of everything"... What on Earth could this possibly mean? It is thicker to make it stick better. Also, regarding the easy clip you said "the key difference with this one is that now it has magnets, so it's easier to clip on and off"... You seem to have seriously misunderstood the promotional material. Also, you owned a Go 3, so you ought to know that the easy clip was always magnetic. What's new is that they have labeled it so you know which way to stick the camera in and also they put a metal plate in the clip part so that it will be able to be mounted to the pendant and give it far more adjustability than the stupid wedges that get lost. So, yeah, you said some pretty strange stuff, and I've watch about 20 reviews of this camera so far today. That accessory is called a quick reader. They have it for some of their other cameras, which you should probably know. Super cute chihuahuas, though!
Hey there. I usually mention in all my camera videos that I'm not a tech channel and just your average vlogger who loves gear (I put it in the description and a pinned comment since I forgot this time around).
My camera videos are about how they fit into my Vlog channel. That's why this video is titled A Week in the Life... and not a review. Sorry about that!
As for the pendant, the original GO 3 had included a separate plastic magnetic piece that attaches to the pendant to angle the camera downwards for a better POV. I assumed right away that was why it was thicker. But you're right, it's just thicker (probably for stronger magnets).
I also lost my first easy clip but I thought it attached based on friction, my mistake.
With that said, of the 20 reviews you saw, how much actual footage did they share from the camera? Was it all in just good light situations? Did you get a good grasp of the audio in different scenarios? I have a solid 20+ minutes of it using it around various scenarios, locations, and lighting situations with a mukbang to boot 😂 I hope that counts for something.
And lastly... as a tech nobody in this space, they just sent me the camera because they saw an interest in it from a vlogger perspective/audience. They didn't review the video or give me a talking point list. They're probably reserving that manpower for people like Peter Mckinnon.
But thank you for the constructive criticisms... that's how I get better. And if I get another shot at this, I won't make the same mistakes!
@@MikeeRogers i like using these types of cameras for the same reasons you do. i like your response to this comment and makes me want to watch your video now. Keep on doing your thing and i'm sure you'll be on their radar to showcase more stuff in the future. oh, and i'd rather see things a little raw than polished and i don't need everything explained precisely the way a manual sounds. It'd rather see it demo'd in the field and how it fits into a shooting workflow compared to watching a commercial.
@@MikeeRogers It's totally fine if you're not a tech channel and don't want to talk about the tech, but if you do talk about the tech, it should probably be things that are true. That's all I'm saying.
Plus I was just having real difficulty trying to grok the meaning of the phrase "helps with the POV of everything" from your perspective. You said you had a Go 3, so I really don't understand why you said what you said about the easy clip, regardless of whether or not you are a tech channel. I'm not a tech channel either, but I understand how the hat clip worked before and how it is different now since there are only two significant changes to a thing which was very uncomplicated to begin with. I'm just suggesting that maybe if you're going to attempt to try to explain how something works, maybe you should attempt to understand how it works first. You put so much effort into the video, but not as much into the information.
I know this is going to come off super critical and a lot of people are going to think I'm a jerk, but I just have a very high sense of duty when it comes to the responsibility of informing others of facts. I'd rather just say that I don't know rather than misinform...
@@GenuineArticle71 appreciate you! And I’ll definitely do better explaining things properly in (hopefully) future camera videos 🙏🏼🤞🏼
@@intrepidchimp gotcha and agree. I’ll do better next time around 🤞🏼
I'm loving these contents omg!!! Keep em coming!!! It's @georginaflows btw ahahaha I watch you twice sometimes in both channels hahahahaha
Georgina! haha! Looks like you have a second channel already to start a Vlog 🤪
She’s soooo cute!! 🤍📷 a great review Mikee, so thrilled when tech brands listen to feedback and make upgrades - the 4K is a game changer! placing my order now!! So excited to hopefully join your LIVE session!! Onion w$0re 😅😅🧅🧅
Nice! It will be perfect for Japan in Sept! And I forget how small this camera is when it's out of its pod! Gotta use it more often like that haha.
