二、First Use

2.1 Image storage

The camera uses a MicroSD card to store captured image files. Insert the MicroSD card by pushing open the memory card cover on the side of the single camera. This device recommends using UHS-I, V30 and above micro SD/TF memory cards with exFAT format. Using cards with too low speed may cause recording failures. Do not use UHS-II, UHS-III, or memory cards exceeding 1TB, as this may lead to compatibility issues and stop recording.

2.2 Powering On

Align the camera with the contact pins and insert it into the Action Pod. Press and hold the power button on the Action Pod for 2 seconds to power on. To remove the camera, press and hold the release button while pulling out the camera module.

2.3 Activation

The first time you use GO Ultra, you need to activate it through the Insta360 App. You can download the Insta360 App in the following ways:

  1. After turning on the camera for the first time, scan the QR code that appears on the screen.
  2. Scan the QR code on the accessory box.
  3. Find "Insta360 App" in "Downloads" on the Insta360 official website to download it.

After downloading, follow these steps to activate:

  1. Turn on the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth functions on your phone.
  2. Open the Insta360 App, click the "Search for new devices" icon at the bottom of the App page, and find the camera you need to connect based on the camera and the last 6 digits of the serial number displayed in the pop-up window. Mobile phone authorization is required before connecting. When connecting for the first time, click to confirm the connection on the expansion cabin screen.

After successful connection, if a new firmware version is available, the App will prompt you to upgrade. Complete the camera firmware upgrade according to the App prompts. After the upgrade, follow the prompts on the App page to complete the camera activation.

2.4 Charging

Use the official data cable in the package to connect the Type-C interface of the expansion compartment to the charger for charging.

Exposure Compensation Value (EV)In Auto Mode, adjust EV to help with overexposure or underexposure.
White Balance (WB)Removes unrealistic colors and tones for accurate color capture. Higher white balance produces warmer tones, lower results in cooler tones.
Jitter Blur ReductionImproves motion blur and stabilization in low light environments. In extreme environments, the image may be darker with flickering.
FiltersAdd different color tones and effects.
Metering ModeFace Priority prioritizes face brightness. Matrix ensures accurate exposure of the whole image.
SharpnessAdjusts video screen clarity and image edge sharpness.
Portrait ModeImproves facial brightness and skin texture in portraits, creating bright and white portraits. Avoid in high-intensity sports scenes.

五、Maintenance

5.1 Firmware Update

Firmware updates are regularly available to ensure the camera runs efficiently. Update to the latest version for optimal results. Before updating, ensure the camera has at least 20% battery remaining.

  • Update via Insta360 app: Connect the camera to the Insta360 app. The app will notify you if a new firmware update is available. Follow the on-screen instructions.

If the camera firmware update fails, check the following and try again:

  1. Ensure the camera is close to your phone.
  2. Keep the Insta360 app running and do not exit or minimize it.
  3. Ensure your phone has a strong and stable network connection.
  • Update via Computer:
    • 1. Make sure the camera is powered on.
    • 2. Connect the camera to the computer using the USB Type-C cable and select USB Mode.
    • 3. Download the latest firmware version from the official Insta360 website.
    • 4. Once the computer recognizes the camera, copy the "Insta360GO3SFW.pkg" file to the camera's root directory.

    Note:

    • 1. Do not change the file name.
    • 2. Disconnect the camera from the computer. The camera will automatically power off.
    • 3. Power on the camera and wait a few moments for the firmware update to start. The indicator lights will slowly flash blue.

5.2 Waterproofing

  1. GO Ultra (without expansion chamber) is waterproof to a depth of 10 meters and can be used for underwater shooting without an additional protective cover. For extended underwater shooting, use the GO Ultra diving case.
  2. Before taking underwater photos, replace the built-in protective lens with an underwater high-definition lens for the best shooting effect. (Underwater high-definition lens cannot be used with the diving case simultaneously.)
  3. When the GO Ultra camera is placed in the expansion chamber, the expansion chamber has IPX4 level waterproof splash function. Do not use the expansion chamber alone underwater.
  4. Before use, ensure the charging data contact points on the back of the camera and the expansion chamber are not stained or oxidized.
  5. After using GO Ultra (without expansion chamber) underwater in seawater, please follow these precautions:
    • Gently rinse the surface of the camera with clean water.
    • Soak in fresh water for 10 minutes.
    • Wipe it dry with a soft cloth and place it in a ventilated place to dry naturally. After the surface is free of water, you can remove the battery and other operations.

To maintain optimal waterproof performance of your GO Ultra camera:

  1. Do not use a hair dryer to blow the microphone and speaker, as this will damage the internal waterproof membrane.
  2. Do not operate the camera for a long time (>1 hour) outside the recommended temperature range (-20°C~40°C) or in extremely humid environments, such as saunas or hot springs.
  3. When storing, avoid environments with excessive temperature or humidity, and avoid storing with perfumes and cosmetics to prevent contact corrosion.
  4. Prevent the camera from entering the water at too fast a speed, as excessive impact may cause water to enter the device.
  5. Do not drop the camera or subject it to other impacts.
  6. Do not disassemble the GO Ultra single camera.

5.3 Cleaning

  1. If foreign objects, such as dirt or hair, are on the Lens Guard, clean it with clean water or use a lens pen, air blower, or cloth.
  2. If the lens contains foreign objects, such as dirt or hair, clean it with a lens pen, air blower, or cloth.

5.4 After Underwater Use

After using GO Ultra with the AquaLens for underwater shooting, switch back to the standard Lens Guard for best results. Due to high underwater humidity, moisture may remain on the lens when changing guards, potentially causing fogging. To get back to clear shooting quickly, follow these steps:

  1. Shake the device 3-5 times to remove as much water as possible from the surface.
  2. Remove the AquaLens and wipe the lens barrel thread area with a clean paper towel/cleaning cloth.
  3. Shoot for about 5 minutes at 4K/60fps to warm up the camera body slightly and help evaporate residual moisture; or use a hair dryer on the cool setting and blow air onto the lens area for about 5 minutes.
  4. Once the lens barrel is confirmed dry, reinstall the standard Lens Guard onto the camera lens.

Note:

  • The removed standard Lens Guard can be dried with a hair dryer on the cool setting to prevent fogging during the next underwater shoot.
  • When replacing the Lens Guard, do so in a dry, well-ventilated environment to reduce the risk of moisture residue.
