- Insta360 reveals Go 3S ‘Retro Bundle’ for its thumb-sized 4K action camera
- The package includes a new optical viewfinder and comes in two color combinations.
- It costs $300 / £279 / AU$470 (64GB) or $320 / £299 AU$500 (128GB)
Insta360 has revealed one of the most extravagant camera kits for 2026: a ‘Retro Bundle’ edition of its thumb-sized 4K camera, the Go 3S.
We rate the original as the best “small” 4K action camera – it’s really small and can fit into spaces no other camera can, or can be mounted on athletes, etc., to get a first-person point of view of the action.
But unlike the original, which comes with a base with a folding LCD screen for composing images and a remote control, the retro version looks more like a Polaroid.
You get the 4K camera, which also takes 12MP photos, in one of two color combinations, with a matching optical viewfinder base.
The waist-level viewfinder reflects the front view for composing shots, is completely optical, and also doubles as a selfie mirror.
And if it wasn’t obvious from the images, the camera itself has no screen, just a button. That’s right, this is a 4K digital video camera without any screen, just the button; It’s as retro as digital video cameras can be.
A single press of the camera button starts video recording, a double tap takes a photo and so on, but if you need more control, that’s where the Insta360 app comes into play.

The camera can still be paired with a smartphone via the Insta360 app, through which users can control the camera remotely.
And it’s still the same Go 3S, with its unique tiny body and video/photo capabilities, just wrapped in a different skin that’s sure to appeal to analog lovers: call it the Polaroid-like video camera!
Insta360 sells a leather case for the retro pack, which has a different aesthetic and looks like an odd combination, but looks good on its own; You can see it in the gallery above.
The Go 3S Retro Bundle costs $300 / £279 / AU$470 for the 64GB version or $320 / £299 / AU$500 for the 128GB version. The latter seems like the obvious choice: you’ll want as much internal storage as possible because there’s no card slot.
If you already own the Go 3S and like the sound of the retro viewfinder, the viewfinder part can be purchased separately for $48 / £46 / AU$80, which is great to see.
