The compact model has gained traction among content creators and is characterized by its compact and portable format
The Insta360 GO Ultra, which was launched in August, has quickly become one of the most talked about cameras on social media, driven by videos circulating on various platforms and the mini format that keeps the GO line attractive. It is more compact and redesigned, and is priced at US$380 on the official website, with a hardcover included. It is not for sale in Brazil.
Measuring 4.6cm long and weighing just 53g, the GO Ultra is presented as a direct evolution of the camera from the previous line, the GO 3S, but with visual changes. The first is to abandon the “pill” format, now adopting a rounded square body with an exposed lens, while maintaining the emphasis on portability.
Interest in social networks is also explained by the combination of lightness and greater independence. The camera has a 500 mAh battery, capable of shooting for up to 70 minutes on its own and up to 200 minutes when connected to the Action Pod, an accessory that acts as a stick, monitor, and auxiliary power source.
Another point that has contributed to its popularity is the variety of videos posted by influencers and regular users. The consistent presence in feeds, combined with the smaller profile of the camera, has placed the GO Ultra among the most shared devices at the moment, despite the above-average price for this segment.

The main technical change is in the new image sensor, measuring 1/1.28 inches, which is larger than the GO 3S sensor. The component captures more light and improves performance in night-time recordings, with promises of gains of more than 200% in low light. The camera also includes an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust exposure and colors.
The GO Ultra records in 4K at 60 frames per second (fps), which is double the maximum rate of the previous generation. When downsampling to 4K at 30 fps, it is possible to activate Active HDR mode (which improves image contrast); At 1080p, the rate is up to 240 fps for slow-motion videos.
In addition, the camera has digital stabilization and horizon leveling, along with a new camera chip. Artificial Intelligence (AI) The company’s 5nm technology, responsible for improving colors and sharpness.

The absence of internal storage is another change compared to the previous line. Instead, the camera now uses microSD cards up to 2TB, providing more flexibility to replace or expand capacity as you use it.
The design also includes a magnetic attachment on the back, allowing the camera to be mounted directly to metal surfaces and comes with accessories such as a magnetic pendant that can be worn on the chest and a clip to attach to clothing.
The camera is water resistant to ten meters without the Action Pod. With the unit attached, it also has a 2.5-inch touch-sensitive articulating screen, which serves for framing, editing and remote control when the camera is loose.
The Insta360 GO Ultra also has voice and gesture controls that make it easier to use when your hands are full. Using voice commands, you can start or stop recordings and take photos without touching the device, which helps when the camera is attached to clothing, a helmet, or mounts. Gesture control lets you activate basic functions by simply raising your hand or making simple movements in front of the lens, ideal for those who record alone or need to start shooting quickly without tapping menus or buttons.
