The tiny Insta360 GO 3S will now work with an old tech-inspired accessory. The Insta360 Retro Viewfinder lets you pop in your Go 3S and frame your shots the "old school" way with its passive optical viewfinder. Without the digital screens, it forces you to shoot from the hip or chest and adopt a more "point-and-shoot mentality," as the company puts it.
That said, the Retro Viewfinder doesn't fully strip away the convenient digital features. By tapping on the case's custom NFC skin, you can change settings or see a live preview of what's happening on your phone. It'll bring you to the Insta360 app so you can make the changes you want.
The Retro Viewfinder itself won't be able to charge your Insta360 Go 3S is attached to it, but it is compatible with the GO 3S's dedicated battery pack. When used together, you can get up to 76 minutes of continuous recording.
Available in Canvas White and Classic Red, the Insta360 Retro Viewfinder retails for $66.99 in Canada.
