Very nice. Thanks for all your work! I would like to know how close you were to the camera (and how far, after you backed up) when you were doing back and forth distance testing.
I have just purchased one of these cameras. I am really happy with what it can do however the audio is next to useless in the slightest exposure to wind.
@@TheTechPacker Took it out today on my bike ride and as I edited the video I have to say I was bored looking at myself pedaling so am trying to think of other good use cases. Walked through a nature sanctuary yesterday, which was cool.
Hello. Thank you for this very good test. It is really a pity that we cannot use an external USB or wireless microphone. This is another weak point of this camera : Very strange for an action camera ! Do you plan to make other videos about this camera ? I really would like to know more about the new feature "HORIZON LOCK" and also about AEB mentionned in the USER GUIDE. For AEB, i really don't know how to access this function on Go 3 For Horizon Lock, it seems that it is only accessible in 1080p mode, but maybe i am wrong
Fantastic review! Have watched many microphone reviews over the years but this is by far the most useful. Quick question: you mention needing to turn the gain down when filming selfie-style videos. Is this in the video editing stage or did you mean there was a microphone gain setting on the device? :)
just shot a video in Chicago with my camera and didn’t realize it was picking up a lot of wind noise so this has been very helpful wondering if someone’s developed a dead cat cover or someway to get rid of the wind noise altogether
I haven’t checked recently, but it might be tricky as it is such a small unit. I with there was an action pod mic where you could get a wind proof cover for that, and witch the camera unit mics off. That would be next level.
Hi, have you tried the noise reduction or voice focus in the insta360 studio yet? I've seen another video when the function is turned on, the background noise is almost gone away.
Since it will not connect to external mic, will it be fair to say that, if I wear to go skiing or downhill mountain biking, the wind reduction algorithm will not be able to counter the huge wind noise (air flow noise) on GO 3? what do you think ?
I tried the cam on my motorbike and everything above 20km/h catches an irritating amount of wind and at over 50km/h it´s deafening. The image is super stable but the audio is garbage for fast movement.
Hello. I'm planing to buy the Go3 and my major concern is the audio. This Review greatly helps and you did a great job at it. Only thing I think you could have added is using a external mic with it (I think we can use an external mic with the Go 3) so it would have given a nice decent comparison. Great job nonetheless.
@@TheTechPacker that's quite a shame, isn't it. only if we could conect an external mic, that would have been incredible. I know we can do it with insta 360 Ace and others. Nevertheless, do you think it is a dealbreaker or the Go3 mic does the job?
No mics on the ActionPod - just the camera unit. I pointed this out as a pity in my original review. Would effectively have been a built-in bluetooth mic if @insta360 could have implemented that.
I wanted a video on the Go 3 mic... Bingo... Here we go. My silly idea is to put the camera on my 6 year old. When you take a video of a 6 year old you see the world from the adult view. I want to see the world through her view -- riding scooter, petting a cat, buying a donut (one her big chores) Use the angled pendant mount for the Go 3 so it points up versus straight.
Putting a camera on a 6-year-old? That's genius! Just make sure she doesn't end up capturing all the moments you'd rather not share with the world. Kids can be quite unpredictable!
Still haven't heard if an external mic is an option. Also someone had the problem that the audio wasn't in sync with the video. Have you experienced this?
I replied to another comment somewhere that I tried external USB mic adaptors for other devices I had with no luck. I have not experienced any sync problems with footage out of camera.
I hate it and love it, the audio is not so good when riding on my bike the audio is not picking up when Im speaking, iam using the noise reduction and will try again next time on my ride with stereo will see how it goes… great video
Hey, thanks for watching and sharing your feedback! I totally get the struggle with the audio, especially when you're on a bike. Hopefully, the stereo setup will do the trick next time. Keep on riding and enjoying the videos!
Being honest and not a sound engineer, I found it difficult to tell the difference between the various audio algorythms. Very informative video monethe less. Thank you.
Glad i have seen this video. Very disappointing theres no way of adding an external mic. Using it in windy conditions etc looks likes a major flaw. Maybe the go 4 will add external mic in 2025
