Insta360 Unveils GO Ultra – The 4K Pocket Camera

2025/08/21

Geek News, News, Tech News, Trailers / Videos

Insta360 is proud to reveal GO Ultra, the latest evolution in the world of compact cameras. Still tiny, still hands-free, now with serious power for superior image quality.

“GO Ultra takes the advancements made with the Ace and X series cameras, and puts them into the type of compact, pocket camera our GO Series creators enjoy,” said Insta360 Co-Founder and VP of Marketing, Max Richter, “opening up new creative opportunities without sacrificing portability.”

The 1/1.28″ sensor, which is 221% larger than its predecessor, and new 5nm AI chip deliver imaging previously impossible in the GO series. Ultra-smooth, ultra-crisp 4K60fps video is the new cinematic standard for pocket cameras, and creative limits are pushed even further by PureVideo, which uses cutting-edge AI algorithms to reduce visual noise and enhance brightness in low light.

At just 53g, the size of a smartwatch, and with a built-in magnetic base, you can mount the GO Ultra Standalone Camera anywhere and capture angles other cameras can only dream of. With an upgraded Magnet Pendant and a vast array of new accessories, from the peel-and-use Sticky Tabs to the wholly original Toddler Titan Hat Clip, a new world of immersive shooting awaits.

Just as intuitive is the upgraded Insta360 app, with powerful AI tools to instantly turn your footage into shareable content. Transitions, effects, music, and more can be added with just a few taps. Cyclists can add their data—GPS, heart rate, speed—from Strava or a third-party device that syncs in real-time to their footage. The new AI Family Moments feature collates all your loved ones’ magic moments into a virtual album to cherish forever.

GO Ultra’s blend of heavyweight power, lightweight portability, and ease of use makes it essential for vloggers with active lifestyles, families sharing milestones, or travelers searching for new horizons—people who live in the moment.

GO Hands-Free

Capture the moment as you live it with GO Ultra. Attach the Standalone Camera to the Magnet Pendant or Magnetic Easy Clip to record your POV totally hands-free. This is wearable tech that’s sleek and simple to use.

The Standalone Camera’s built-in magnetic base can be used on any metallic surface and combined with the Pivot Mount, Flexi Strap Mount, and more, opening a whole new range of creative third-person angles.

GO Ultra uses Bluetooth to broadcast in real time from the Standalone Camera to the Action Pod. Give it to your little ones to play with and see the world as they do on the 2.5″ flip touchscreen.

GO Wherever You Want

GO Ultra is so compact, it can be put in a pocket, kept in a handbag, and added to hand luggage without tipping the scales. The Standalone Camera weighs just 53g and is as small as an Oreo.

But don’t let the size fool you, GO Ultra is designed to be used anywhere. From your baby’s birthday bash to getting strapped to the front of a BMX for a gnarly downhill, it can handle anything, even a raw dive down to 33ft (10m) underwater, thanks to its IPX8 waterproofing. Shoot up in the mountains, down in the city, and deep under the waves all in one day.

GO with Unbeatable Clarity

GO Ultra’s huge 1/1.28″ sensor vastly increases the amount of light captured by the lens, and the new ambient light sensor reduces flickering and calibrates colors in real-time for more authentic footage. The powerful 5nm AI chip reduces visual noise while still improving processing time for smooth 4K60fps shooting.

This doesn’t only guarantee cinematic vacay videos, the addition of Active HDR and PureVideo, modes for enhancing low-light performance, means your shooting doesn’t have to stop when the sun sets. From the beachfront to the bonfire, GO Ultra captures it all.

GO All the Way

Your life doesn’t stop—why should your camera? GO Ultra banishes battery life and storage woes with the latest in battery tech and customizable storage.

The Standalone Camera has a runtime of 70 minutes on a single charge and a whopping 200 minutes when combined with the Action Pod. When you finally do hit zero, the fast charging system can get GO Ultra back to 80% in only 12 minutes; essential for catching every step of a marathon or all the sights on a leisurely weekend away.

And unlike GO 3S, which has fixed internal storage, GO Ultra uses removable microSD cards. Not only does this instantly give you up to 2TB of storage space, but when the card gets full, you can pop it out and replace it with a new one in seconds. Say farewell to awkward file transfers.

Upload, Edit, and GO

You hit that PR, cut the cake, saw the sunset—now it’s time to share it with the world. Using the free Insta360 app (available on iOS and Android), you can upload your clips in seconds and edit however you want with intuitive controls. Need it now? Use Auto Edit to automatically find your highlights and turn them into a masterpiece in moments.

Availability

Insta360 GO Ultra goes on sale August 21, 2025, at the Insta360 Store, Amazon, and select retailers worldwide. The Standard Bundle is priced at US$449.99 and includes GO Ultra (Standalone Camera and Action Pod) in either Midnight Black or Arctic White, a Quick Release Safety Cord, Magnetic Easy Clip, Magnet Pendant, USB-C cable, and a Lens Guard.

At the Future Games Show, publisher NACON and its studio Rogue Factor had the pleasure to unveil an intriguing new trailer highlighting the story of the action-adventure game Hell is Us and the motivations of its main character, Remi. Players eager to learn more can experience the events that took place just before the game begins by reading an exclusive digital comic book, available [in + your local language, if applicable] on nacongaming.com. Hell is Us will be released on 4 September 2025 on PlayStation®5, Xbox Series X|S and PC (Steam, Epic Games Store), and a demo version is currently available on all these platforms until 28 August.

Hell is Us offers a captivating story, where supernatural phenomena, human violence, and ancient, well-kept secrets collide.

The story of Hell is Us has players dive into Hadea, a mysterious fictional country cut off from the world and ravaged by a deadly civil war. Remi, the game’s protagonist, was born in Hadea but was smuggled out by his parents when he was a child. Now a peacekeeper sent on a mission to this territory, he sees his return as an opportunity to uncover the secrets of his origins and the reasons that forced his parents to abandon him.

In addition to this quest for the past against the backdrop of civil war is the mystery of a curious phenomenon called ‘the Calamity,’ which causes strange creatures reminiscent of ancient headstones and monuments in the region to appear, and which Remi will have to face throughout his journey.

Furthermore, a 16-page digital comic covering the events that took place right before the beginning of the game is available, for free, on nacongaming.com.

Hell is Us is a third-person action-adventure game combining melee combat, exploration and a captivating story. Through its Player-Plattering approach incentivizing players to follow their instincts rather than markers, the title aims to return to the roots of adventure games. It encourages reflection and observation by eliminating all forms of intrusive assistance.

We Survived Knott’s Scary Farm Nightmares Revealed 2025 Reveal! Here’s What’s Coming.

2025/08/20

Geek News, Halloween, Haunted Attraction Review, News, Reviews

The fog is calling, and we have answered! Last night, we had the incredible opportunity to attend the Knott’s Scary Farm “Nightmares Revealed” event, where all the terrifying details for the 2025 season were unveiled. The air was thick with anticipation, and the energy from the crowd of fellow haunt fans was electric. Now, we’re here to give you a full recap of the night’s chilling announcements and our firsthand experience from beginning to end!

The Journey Into Fear

Our night began as we arrived around 6:00 PM. The check-in process was a breeze—a huge shout-out to the Knott’s PR team for running such a smooth and efficient operation. At 6:30 PM, the gates creaked open, and we were guided into the park. The official start at 7:00 PM was nothing short of spectacular. The iconic Scary Farm Conductor character appeared for a small gate-opening ceremony, his ominous voice setting the perfect tone.

But this was no ordinary walk to a stage. We were led to the railroad tracks near Calico, where a grim scene was unfolding: the public hanging of an alleged witch, Sarah Marshall. Just as the sheriff was about to seal her fate, the witch turned the tables, screaming a curse upon the town and unleashing a horde of monstrous creatures that burst into the crowd for a series of fantastic jump scares! It was the perfect, immersive start to a night dedicated to fear.

The Main Event: Monsters, Mazes, and More!

After that thrilling opening, we were led to the Calico Main Stage. The presentation kicked off with a high-energy dance number before the man himself, host Jeff Tucker, took the stage. But he wasn’t alone! In a huge surprise, he was joined by the iconic drag supermonsters, The Boulet Brothers, as co-hosts! Their chemistry, humor, and love for horror made the entire presentation an absolute blast. They then unveiled the full, terrifying lineup for 2025.

Two Brand-New Mazes:

  • Mary – The Haunting of Worth Home: A vengeful spirit, murdered and buried alive, returns with her legion of creatures to exact revenge on anyone who enters her home.
  • The Zoo: An abandoned zoo has become a lab for horrifying animal/human experiments, and the hybrid creatures have taken over.

Eight Returning Mazes (Two in their Final Year!):

  • Eight Fingers Nine: The Boogeyman, Widows, Room 13, Cinema Slasher, The Chilling Chambers, Origins: The Curse of Calico, and for the final year, The Grimoire and Mesmer: Sideshow of the Mind.

Five Sinister Scare Zones:

  • Ghost Town Streets, The Gore-ing ‘20s, CARNEVIL, Forsaken Lake, and The Gauntlet (with a promised “updated twist”!).

Three Hair-Raising Shows:

  • The triumphant return of The Hanging in the Wagon Camp, plus Conjurers and Le Magnifique Carnaval du Grotesque.

An Exclusive Look: Inside the Fog

After the incredible stage presentation, we were escorted to the Forsaken Lake Media Lounge for an exclusive opportunity to speak with the masterminds behind the mayhem. The merchandise on display was outstanding. We saw the awesome new slider-focused design, but our jaws dropped when we saw a new shirt and hat featuring the fan-favorite popcorn bucket monster from the Cinema Slasher maze! The Food & Beverage display was a feast for the eyes, showcasing a ghoulish gallery of treats that we absolutely cannot wait to try.

The highlight, however, was speaking with Creative Designer Gus Krueger. He gave us a deeper dive into the two new mazes, but then he dropped a bombshell that connects the entire Scary Farm mythology: Mary, the vengeful spirit from Mary – The Haunting of Worth Home, is none other than Sarah Marshall’s sister! This stunning revelation links the brand-new maze directly to the lore of Origins: The Curse of Calico, creating a rich, interconnected universe of fear.

Masters of the Macabre: Makeup & Monsters

The night of exclusives didn’t stop there. We then witnessed the incredible artistry of the Scary Farm makeup team firsthand during a live demonstration. Watching them transform an actor into a gruesome creature right before our eyes was a true testament to the talent that brings these nightmares to life.

The entire event felt like a mini-Scary Farm night. Ghost Town was decked out in its usual spooky glory, and monsters were on hand, roaming the pathways and providing plenty of scares. It was a fantastic time and the perfect preview of the season to come.

The Final Verdict

From the immersive opening curse to the stunning lore reveals in the media lounge, the entire evening was a masterclass in building hype. Knott’s is coming in strong for 2025 with a lineup that is deep, creative, and full of terrifying fun.

Plan Your Demise: Event Dates & Ticket Information

Ready to face the fog? Here’s what you need to know – Knott’s Scary Farm returns for 28 terrifying nights from Sept. 18 through Nov. 1. The event runs on select Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Single night tickets start as low as $64 online. The Scary Farm Pass provides unlimited visits for just $159 ($155 for Season Passholders).

Upgrades:

  • Fright & Fast Lane: Skip the maze lines and get priority boarding on rides. Starts at $139.
  • Knott’s Scary Farm Boo-fet: Dine with the monsters and get early entry to four mazes, including the two new ones! Starts at $49.

It’s all happening at Knott’s Scary Farm. We are more excited than ever, and we’ll see you in the fog!
