Insta360 GO Ultra Delivers Pocket-Sized Power

For action camera enthusiasts, size often comes at the cost of compromise. But the Insta360 GO Ultra flips that notion on its head. Weighing just 53 grams and smaller than a smartwatch, the new GO Ultra is discreet and powerful. Packing a 1/1.28″ sensor (221% larger than its predecessor) and an advanced 5nm AI chip, the Insta360 GO Ultra shoots buttery smooth, ultra-crisp 4K at 60fps. It’s the pocket cam that doesn’t sacrifice quality for convenience.

Insta360’s deliberate merge of intelligence, innovation, and wearability is evident with the GO Ultra. Its improved Magnet Pendant and a full suite of new accessories—like the Sticky Tabs and Flexi Strap Mount—make capturing immersive, third-person POVs an everyday affair.

For low-light scenarios, Insta360 brings PureVideo to the game. The AI-powered mode brightens scenes and reduces visual noise with shocking effectiveness. Pair that with Active HDR, and your footage maintains depth and color accuracy even in tricky lighting. The result? A cinematic, polished look with zero hassle.

Insta360 GO Ultra Goes Further Than Ever Before

While previous versions impressed in portability, the Insta360 GO Ultra leaps forward in stamina and smarts. The new Action Pod extends battery life to a whopping 200 minutes. Solo shooters still get 70 minutes off the Standalone Camera, and fast-charging tech means 80% juice in just 12 minutes. Add in microSD storage (up to 2TB!) and you have a compact camera that finally keeps pace with your life.

The upgraded Insta360 app offers hands-free uploads, auto edits, and now includes AI Family Moments, a brilliant feature that assembles your family’s best bits into ready-to-share albums. For fitness junkies, the app syncs with Strava and other third-party trackers to overlay GPS, speed, and heart rate directly onto your footage.

With customizable white balance, advanced audio modes including stereo and voice enhancement, and 50MP stills, the GO Ultra changes the mini action cam game.

On sale August 21, 2025, the Insta360 GO Ultra launches with two colorways—Midnight Black and Arctic White—and a price tag of $449.99. The Standard Bundle includes a suite of must-haves like the Action Pod, Magnetic Easy Clip, Magnet Pendant, and a Quick Release Safety Cord.

Bottom line: This camera earns its place in every serious content creator’s EDC kit.
