I put an action cam on my cat and let him roam wild — here's what he saw
An experiment was conducted by strapping an action camera to a cat to capture its perspective while roaming outdoors. The camera used was the Insta360 GO 3S, which features a 4K resolution and a built-in tracking system. While the footage revealed typical cat behavior, it also highlighted the camera's limitations in battery life and recording duration.
- ▪The Insta360 GO 3S has an upgraded 4K camera and a wide-angle lens.
- ▪The camera can last up to 38 minutes on a single charge, but recording continuously reduces this time significantly.
- ▪The best footage captured was of the cat playing with an aluminum foil ball.
