Insta360 GO 3S Retro – Retro-style photo shoot experience

The Retro Kit includes several accessories that recreate the feel of a classic camera while maintaining the portability of the GO 3S.

Retroviewfinder

At the heart of the kit is the retro viewfinder. When combined with the standalone GO 3S, it transforms into a digital camera inspired by classic film cameras. The waist-level optical viewfinder allows you to determine the overall composition without looking at the screen, encouraging a more relaxed and intentional shooting style. Furthermore, the viewfinder has a built-in selfie mirror, making it easy to take handheld selfies.

Battery pack

The included battery pack extends recording time up to 76 minutes and supports charging while recording. This allows for uninterrupted use even during long recording sessions.

NFC Custom Skin

NFC custom skins provide instant access to the Insta360 app. Simply tap your smartphone to instantly launch the Insta360 app and preview, edit, and adjust settings for your videos.

Strap & Magnetic Pendant

The kit also includes a convenient strap for everyday use. It can be worn like a necklace or attached to a bag or accessory for easy portability. Furthermore, the GO 3S’s signature accessory, a magnetic pendant, is included. By attaching it to clothing with a magnet, hands-free POV shooting is possible.

Film-style filters and new creative tools

In keeping with its retro hardware design, the GO 3S Retro Kit comes equipped with three exclusive film-style filters.

Negative Film: Inspired by classic negative film, this style features soft, cool-toned rendering with muted saturation.
Positive film: A striking style reminiscent of slide film, with enhanced contrast and saturation.
Sticker Filter: Inspired by pre-exposure film, this filter adds three retro-style patterns and film-like colors to your photos, creating a playful sticker-style overlay.

The Insta360 GO 3S Retro features 11 built-in color profiles, including five new film-style options added in the RetroKit (NC, CC, GR-F, Mono, and Vintage Vacation).

These profiles allow creators to shoot stylized photos directly from the camera without the need for post-production.

The Insta360 app also functions as an action pod, allowing users to switch shooting modes, adjust settings, apply filters directly from their smartphone, and utilize in-app editing tools. iOS and Android users can also access Live Activity. Recording and camera status can be quickly checked from the smartphone’s lock screen.

A pocket-sized camera that unleashes everyday creativity.

The RetroKit focuses on photography and recording everyday moments while retaining the core functionality of the Insta360 GO 3S.

Weighing approximately 39g, its lightweight design allows for various shooting styles, including wearing it or mounting it. It enables easy, hands-free recording of an immersive first-person perspective. The built-in magnetic mount system allows for quick attachment to clothing or metal surfaces, enabling unique angles impossible with larger cameras.

Supporting 4K video recording and featuring superior FlowState image stabilization, it delivers smooth footage even in fast-paced scenes. Quick Capture lets you start recording instantly with a single tap, capturing the moment inspiration strikes. The GO 3S is also waterproof up to 10 meters, making it ideal for a wide range of situations, from city walks to underwater photography.

After shooting, you can use FreeFrame video to export it in any aspect ratio to suit social media. Furthermore, the Insta360 app includes automatic editing features and a statistics dashboard. By overlaying real-time data acquired from devices such as Apple, Garmin, COROS, and iGPSPORT, you can transform everyday footage into content that’s easy to share.

By combining the Insta360 GO 3S Retro with a retro viewfinder, you can create a unique shooting experience that blends a nostalgic camera design with the freedom of expression unique to a pocket-sized POV camera. It’s perfect for creative photography, capturing everyday moments, and telling stories.
