I think I’m in my tiny camera phase now..

I think I’m in my tiny camera phase again now. 🤣

Which is funny, because I don’t think I slowly entered this phase. I think I tripped, fell, and landed directly inside an Insta360 accessory rabbit hole.

I already owned an Insta360 GO 3 and an Insta360 GO 3S, both with their Action Pods. I already had a few accessories. I already had enough to make little videos, capture dog training moments, film restaurant content, and experiment with different angles.

So naturally, I recently bought the Insta360 GO 3S Retro Bundle too. And more accessories.

And then probably a few more accessories after that.

I would like to take full responsibility, but Prime Day may need to be investigated. 😅

There is something about tiny cameras that makes them feel weirdly easy to justify. A regular camera feels like a big purchase. A tiny camera feels like a tool, a toy, a creative experiment, and a “but this could be useful for work” excuse all at the same time.

That is how one camera becomes two cameras, then a retro version, then a mount, then another mount, then a case, then a clip, then something magnetic, then something that folds, sticks, rotates, or somehow promises to make filming easier.

And honestly? I get it.

The thing I like about the Insta360 GO cameras is that they make filming feel less serious. I do not always want to pull out my phone, frame everything perfectly, and make content feel like a whole production. Sometimes I just want to capture a quick angle, show a gadget up close, film a point-of-view shot, or record something without making the camera the main event.

That is especially useful for me because I am constantly bouncing between different types of content. Dog training, restaurant work, personal blog ideas, tech experiments, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and whatever else my brain decides is interesting that week.

The tiny camera fits that kind of chaos.

The accessories are where things get dangerous, though.

Because the camera itself is only part of the system. The moment you start using it, you realize the mount matters. The angle matters.

The case matters. The way you carry it matters. The way you attach it to things matters. And suddenly you are looking at a small object online thinking, “This is only a mount,” while somehow also convincing yourself that it could change your entire content workflow.

That is probably how I ended up creating Instagram and YouTube pages called go3gadgets, where I have been posting short videos of the Insta360 GO 3 and GO 3S accessories I buy, unbox, test, and actually use.

At first, I think I just wanted a place to put those videos.

Then it became a little project of its own.

I like showing the accessories up close, especially because some of them are hard to understand from product photos alone. A mount can look simple online, but once you see how it folds, sticks, clips, rotates, or holds the camera, it becomes much easier to understand whether it might actually be useful.

I am not trying to become a serious tech reviewer. At least not in the traditional sense.

I am more interested in documenting the process of buying things, trying them, figuring out what actually fits into my life, and seeing which accessories become useful versus which ones just looked cool at 1 a.m.

Because that is the real test.

Not whether something looks good in the listing. Whether I actually reach for it after the excitement wears off.

So yes, I think I am officially in my tiny camera phase now. The finance phase is still there, the dog training phase never left, and the productivity phase is probably somewhere in the background making a spreadsheet lol..

But right now, there is a very small camera, a growing pile of accessories, and a suspicious number of “this could be useful” justifications happening in my brain.

And honestly, I’m having fun with it. :D
