Is the Insta360 GO 3 the Smallest Vlogging Camera in the World?

As cameras get smaller and better (for the most part), we are able to incorporate them into new areas of our lives and invent more creative shots. This newest action camera might just be the smallest yet, but is it any good?

The Insta360 GO 3 Action Camera is miniature — so small in fact, that it can be attached to a pet's collar or slip into tiny spaces such as a mug, like in this video. Although this opens up new creative opportunities, the question is, is it any good? In this video, the legendary Casey Neistat takes it out and about, making a unique vlog with many angles I have never seen before. Moreover, however, it has the capacity to output excellent, stable video at 2720 x 1536p at 24/25/30 fps. In fact, stability really is one of the selling points to me.

What grabs me just as much as the image stability and quality is the unit's design. White at first glance it looks just like a GoPro, albeit slightly smaller, the pill-shaped camera can disconnect from its box-shaped house and that's when it truly comes into its own. I implore you to watch this video in full to really get a sense of its strengths. Casey Neistat has a knack for showing what can be done with a camera rather than reeling off specs.
