Product Features

Ultra HD 4K/60fps Video Recording

The SVGo3 records video in stunning 4K resolution at 60 frames per second, providing smooth and detailed footage. This high frame rate allows for seamless slow-motion playback without compromising video quality.

Built-in Waterproof Design

The camera is waterproof up to 40 feet (12 meters) without any additional housing, making it suitable for swimming and snorkeling. For deeper dives, the included waterproof case extends protection down to 100 feet (30 meters).

Extended Battery Life

Equipped with two 1800mAh batteries, the SVGo3 provides up to 150 minutes of continuous 4K/30fps recording per battery. With external Type-C power support, it can handle prolonged shooting sessions.

Magnetic Quick Release Mount

The innovative magnetic quick-release mount allows for rapid attachment and detachment, enabling quick transitions between different mounting locations like helmets, handlebars, or chest harnesses. The self-locking design ensures secure attachment.

Enhanced Audio Capabilities

The camera features a built-in microphone and includes a wired microphone for improved audio quality. It also supports wireless microphones via its Type-C port, and its design helps reduce wind noise.

6-axis EIS Image Stabilization

Built-in advanced six-axis Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) effectively minimizes camera shake, ensuring stable, smooth, and clear footage even during dynamic activities like biking, skiing, or snorkeling.

Dual-Screen Design

The SVGo3 features a 2.35-inch rear touchscreen for intuitive operation and playback, along with a 1.4-inch front color selfie screen, ideal for vlogging and self-portraits.

Low-Light Performance

Equipped with a 1/2.7-inch sensor and 1.5µm large pixels, the camera captures more ambient light, enhancing performance in low-light conditions and for night vision, especially useful for underwater environments.

Wireless Connectivity & Remote Control

With built-in 5G/2.4G dual-band Wi-Fi, you can connect the camera to your iOS or Android device for instant sharing and control. The included remote control (not waterproof) offers convenient operation from a distance.

Storage Expansion

The camera comes with a 128GB microSD card and supports expansion up to 256GB, providing ample storage for your high-resolution videos and photos.

Setup

1. Charging the Batteries

1. Insert the two 1800mAh batteries into the dual-charging charger.
2. Connect the USB-C cable to the charger and a power source (e.g., USB wall adapter, computer).
3. The indicator lights on the charger will show the charging status. Once fully charged, remove the batteries.

2. Inserting the microSD Card

1. Locate the microSD card slot on the side of the camera.
2. Gently insert the included 128GB microSD card (or another compatible card up to 256GB) into the slot until it clicks into place. Ensure the card is inserted in the correct orientation.

3. Mounting the Camera

The SVGo3 offers versatile mounting options:

• Magnetic Quick Release: Attach the main unit clamp to a desired surface (e.g., helmet, handlebar) using the appropriate mount. The camera can then be quickly snapped onto the magnetic quick-release head.
• Waterproof Case: For underwater activities beyond 40 feet, place the camera inside the waterproof case and secure it. The case can then be attached to various mounts.
• Cage Mount: Use the cage mount for added protection and accessory attachment (e.g., external microphone) when not requiring full waterproofing.
