Insta360 has ended its recent teaser campaign by confirming the Insta360 GO, a camera it claims is the world's smallest with stabilization. The company had promised in its teaser that the model would be 6x lighter and twice and stable as other action cameras - and with a weight of just 18.3g (0.65oz), it certainly lives up to the first promise at the very least.
Thanks to a range of accessories compatible with the model, the GO is designed to be fitted to a wealth of different products, surfaces and types of clothing for hands-free shooting, although you can also wear it around your neck with the included Magnet Pendant.
Helping to keep everything smooth is the company's 6-axis FlowState stabilization, while the spec sheet mirrors those other action camera rivals by offering things like time-lapse and hyperlapse functionality, the latter of which allows for up to 30 minutes of footage to be played back at six times the speed. Need something a little more unique? There's also a Barrel Roll feature that twists footage "like a turntable."
The body is resistant to water, though not quite to the same degree as some action camera contemporaries. The IPX4 rating means it can withstand rain and splashes, and you can dunk it into water too, but only for a maximum 10 seconds.
