Insta360’s new viewfinder turns the action cam into a retro shooter
The Verge·May 14, 2026
Insta360 has released a new optical viewfinder accessory for its Go 3S 4K action camera, allowing users to frame shots when using it as a handheld camera. The Retro Viewfinder accessory is available for $47.99 and can be purchased as part of a new Go 3S Retro Bundle starting at $299.99. However, the accessory has some limitations, including a extremely limited viewing angle and an image that is flipped horizontally, making it difficult to intuitively frame shots. Despite its novelty, the Retro Viewfinder's functionality is often frustrating, and users may find that spending extra for Insta360's Action Pod dock is a better investment for easier camera control and more accurate framing.
