Insta360 is adding a new member to its lineup of compact cameras. The GO Ultra builds on the company’s pocket-sized GO series with better video performance, a larger sensor, and more flexible mounting options, all while staying surprisingly small.
The GO Ultra sticks to the detachable format that Insta360 introduced with the GO 3 and 3S, but this time the body is closer to a square shape rather than the pill design of its predecessors.
It measures 1.8 inches on each side and weighs 53 grams, around 14 grams more than the GO 3S. Docked into its case, which doubles as a charger and preview screen, the setup reaches about 110 grams. That still makes it significantly lighter than cameras like the DJI Osmo Action 5 Pro or Insta360’s own Ace Pro 2.
A bigger sensor, a durable battery
The big change is the new 1/1.28-inch sensor, which is over twice the size of what the GO 3S used. Paired with a new 5nm chip and an ambient light sensor, the Ultra can deliver better low-light video and smoother performance.
Speaking of which, the compact can record up to 4K 60fps resolution, and with the “Active HDR” option at 4K 30fps. If you drop to 1080p, frame rates can climb to 240fps for slow-motion shots. Still photos are also sharper now, with up to 50MP resolution and support for RAW.
The GO Ultra has a built-in 500mAh cell that can last up to 70 minutes, while pairing it with the Action Pod can extend its runtime to around 200 minutes at lower recording settings. It’s waterproof up to 33 feet and comes with a memory card slot that supports microSD cards up to 2TB.
Accessories remain a big part of Insta360’s pitch. The GO Ultra works with an upgraded magnetic pendant for chest mounting, sticky tabs, and even a hat clip designed for kids.
Its magnetic back also lets it latch directly onto metal surfaces. On the software side, the Insta360 app continues to offer editing tools, HDR modes, and fitness data overlays pulled from apps like Strava or paired smartwatches.
