Insta360’s new Retro Viewfinder turns the action cam into a retro shooter
Insta360’s latest accessory, the Retro Viewfinder, might just change the way you think about action cameras. This tiny device transforms the company’s already compact Go 3S into a retro-inspired handheld camera, complete with a top-down viewfinder that challenges users to rethink their approach to shooting.
The retro aesthetic of this tiny accessory is unmistakable. With its rounded body and chunky buttons, the Retro Viewfinder looks like it belongs on a camera from the 1970s or 80s. But don’t be fooled – this is a device that’s very much rooted in modern technology. By cleverly repurposing the Go 3S’s existing hardware, Insta360 has managed to create a one-of-a-kind handheld camera that’s equal parts nostalgic and cutting-edge.
A New Way of Shooting
One of the biggest challenges of using the Retro Viewfinder is getting used to its unique top-down viewfinder. Unlike traditional cameras, where you typically shoot from a 90-degree angle, the Retro Viewfinder forces you to look down at the action from above. It’s a jarring experience at first, but one that can also be very liberating.
With practice, users will find themselves experimenting with new angles and compositions that wouldn’t be possible with a traditional camera. And with the Go 3S’s 3-axis stabilization, you can expect smooth, professional-looking footage even in the most chaotic situations.
Key Features
The Retro Viewfinder comes with a range of features that make it an attractive accessory for anyone looking to add some retro flair to their video production. Some of the key features include:
- Reversible 1/4″-20 tripod mount for easy mounting on a tripod
- Integrated microphone for high-quality audio capture
- USB-C charging port for easy battery top-ups on the go
- IPX8 waterproof rating for capturing footage in wet conditions
