What Is Not Changing Compared to GO 3S

• The compact size and lightweight design remain (~53g / 1.87 oz).
• AI editing and stabilization features continue to provide smooth footage.
• Core usability and portability are maintained for POV and travel use.

Low-Light Footage

The larger sensor significantly improves low-light performance. Footage in dim conditions appears clearer with reduced noise, making it suitable for indoor shooting, night scenes, and low-light adventures.

HDR Mode

HDR mode enhances dynamic range, recovering highlights and shadows in challenging lighting. This ensures balanced exposure during sunrise, sunset, or high-contrast scenes.

Micro SD Card Feature

MicroSD card support allows flexible storage and easier file management. Creators no longer need to rely solely on internal memory, facilitating longer shooting sessions and faster media transfer.

Waterproof Capability

Component	Waterproof Status
Camera Body	Up to 10 meters water-resistant
Action Pod	Not waterproof; should be kept dry
Magnetic Mounts	Not waterproof; avoid water exposure

Optional Aqualens is recommended for enhanced underwater footage, providing clearer images below the water surface.
