Insta360
TL;DR Insta360 has launched a new tiny action camera with improved video chops.
The Insta360 GO Ultra brings 4K 60fps recording in a compact format and a detachable design.
The GO Ultra also borrows other features, such as PureVideo, from the pro-grade action cameras like Insta360 Ace Pro.
Insta360 is announcing a new compact camera suitable for both action shots and vlogging. The latest addition sits between the Insta360 GO, its compact vlogging camera, and the Ace Pro, which is designed for more professional endeavors.
The Insta360 GO Ultra builds upon the detachable format previously introduced with the standard GO 3 and 3S, although in a slightly bigger size. Like the smaller variant, the GO Ultra attaches to a case that can be used for preview or to charge the camera during or after recording sessions.

Given its “Ultra” badging, the new action camera is more virtuous than the tiny pill-shaped predecessor. The Insta360 GO Ultra comes with a 1/1.28-inch sensor, which is more than twice as big as the GO 3’s 1/2.3-inch sensor.
It also packs a new 5nm chip that increases 4K video capture frame rates from 30fps on the GO 3 to 60fps, though only when it is cropped to 16:9 or other wider aspect ratios. Dialing back to 1080p will also unlock a 120fps option for regular shots and up to 240fps for slow-motion, although you can also record slo-mo videos at a higher 2.7K resolution, but with a 120fps cap.
