Q3 How is the built-in stabilization?

GO 3S offers four levels of stabilization:
Off: Stabilization is turned off.
Standard: For daily use. Expect a short preview delay when enabled.
High: For intense activities like running. Expect a moderate preview delay when enabled.
Max: For extreme sports like mountain biking. Expect a longer preview delay when enabled.

Q4 How can I perform gyro calibration?

Remove the GO 3S camera from the Action Pod and place it on a flat surface with the lens facing upwards. Swipe down on the touchscreen, and go to "Settings" > "Gyro Calibration".

Q5 Why do I need to do gyro calibration?

If the gyroscope is not calibrated, GO 3S's stabilization and horizon leveling may not function properly. We recommend performing gyro calibration to avoid such problems.
