Insta360 GO Now Records 5-Minute Videos with New FPV Camera Mode

When it comes to buying an FPV camera, size is of the essence. Many ordinary action cam are often far too heavy for small FPV drones.

Meet Insta360 GO. With its small 20-gram frame, you can mount GO on even the smallest of FPV drones. And with the latest version of the app, you can now record up to five minutes of video continuously when GO is mounted on a FPV drone.

Using Insta360 GO, you can capture high-quality, stabilized footage from your FPV drone, while still being able to access incredibly tight locations. Check out some of these shots captured with Insta360 GO that would be impossible with a larger drone or camera: 

The first action camera with an FPV stabilization algorithm

Most action camera stabilization algorithms are optimized for running, biking, skiing and other action sports. Insta360 GO is the first camera ever with a stabilization algorithm optimized specifically for FPV flights.

GO’s FPV stabilization mode will keep your shots steady, no matter how fast you dip, dive and roll your drone. And you don’t have to sacrifice quality for size with this FPV camera—Insta360 GO records 1080p videos.

"Man, you can’t find that camera quality on anything close to 20 grams. And having built in FlowState Stabilization was just the icing on the cake!"

Jason Smalling, 360 Rumors

You can turn FPV stabilization on or off under "FlowState Stabilization" in the Insta360 GO app's editing interface.

Control shooting over Bluetooth

With the Insta360 GO companion app, you can turn on FPV mode and control shooting over Bluetooth with your phone. Both iOS and Android users can use this feature.

Just open the Insta360 GO app and connect your GO to get started. Under "Recording length", you can select "5 min (FPV mode)". You can start and stop recording and edit your footage all in the app.

The FPV mode can also be toggled on through the GO button settings in the app. With this setting, you can just mount GO to your FPV, turn GO on and then press GO's body once to start recording. To stop recording, press GO again.
