Insta360 is reportedly gearing up to launch its next compact action camera, the Insta360 Go Ultra, a successor to the Insta360 Go 3S that debuted in June 2024. Leaked details suggest that the Go Ultra will bring meaningful upgrades in design and performance, including support for 4K video recording at 60 frames per second (fps). It is expected to be announced around the time of IFA Berlin 2025, scheduled between September 5 and 9.

Key Highlights

Successor to the Insta360 Go 3S

Support for 4K 60FPS video recording

Slightly larger and square-ish design

Detachable from the flip screen

Expected launch around IFA Berlin 2025

Design and Build Enhancements

According to the leaks (Android Headlines), the Insta360 Go Ultra will adopt a more square-like build, differing from the elongated design of its predecessor. The change in form factor is likely to accommodate enhanced internal hardware and improve thermal performance for 4K 60FPS recording. Despite the changes, it will reportedly retain its lightweight and wearable form, allowing users to clip it onto clothing, backpacks, or mounts for hands-free use.

The camera is also expected to feature:

Flip-up touchscreen (same as Insta360 Go 3S)

Recording indicators on both camera and screen

Top-mounted capture button

Textured grip on one side

Microphone grille positioned above the recording light

Branded as “Insta360 Go Ultra” on both the module and screen

Performance and Video Capabilities

One of the most notable upgrades will be its video recording capability. While the Insta360 Go 3S supported 4K recording at 30FPS, the Go Ultra is rumored to double the frame rate to 60FPS, offering smoother footage for action-packed scenes. This improvement is significant for creators looking for cinematic quality in a palm-sized device.

It is also speculated that the device will include:

Improved stabilization technology

Detachable camera module for greater flexibility

Better low-light performance (unconfirmed)

Durability and Utility Features

As with any action camera, durability is key. The Insta360 Go Ultra is expected to come with dust and water resistance, although exact IP ratings are yet to be confirmed. The rugged build will likely appeal to outdoor and sports enthusiasts.

Color Options and Availability

Leaks show the device in classic Black and White variants. While Insta360 has yet to confirm the launch date, industry insiders suggest a debut in late August or early September 2025, coinciding with IFA Berlin 2025.

Conclusion

The Insta360 Go Ultra appears to be a worthy upgrade in the Insta360 lineup, especially with its ability to shoot at 4K 60FPS and maintain a wearable, modular design. While full specifications remain under wraps, the early leaks indicate a promising compact camera tailored for content creators, vloggers, and adventurers alike. Stay tuned for official details as the expected launch window nears.
