Insta360 GO Ultra Charging Base

More Time Filming with GO Ultra Keep the small camera ready without carrying the Action Pod into every shot. The GO Ultra Charging Base connects directly to the standalone camera through its rear contacts, with a one-metre USB-C cable reaching a suitable external power source. Recharge between takes, supply power during supported recording settings or connect to a phone or computer for file transfers. Its low-profile shape also works with the Magnet Pendant for a lighter wearable setup. Highlights Direct charging connection for the GO Ultra standalone camera. Reaches 80% in around 12 minutes with a suitable 5 V/3 A charger and camera powered off. One-metre cable with USB-C and Pogo Pin connections. Compatible with the GO Ultra Magnet Pendant and Quick Release Safety Cord. Supports file transfers to compatible phones and computers. Key Features Charge Without the Action Pod Align the contacts on the back of the standalone camera with the base, then connect the USB-C end to a suitable power source. When the camera is switched off, the base can fast-charge its battery. The manufacturer’s 80%-in-12-minutes figure uses a 5 V/3 A charger; actual charging time depends on the power source and conditions. Keep a Supported Recording Session Powered The one-metre cable lets a separate power bank supply the camera while you film. When the camera is on, the base supplies operating power rather than charging the battery. For extended power use, the manufacturer specifies 30 fps at 30°C or below and excludes 4K60 fps and 2.7K60 fps. Choose settings for the full recording session rather than assuming every mode supports continuous external power. A Compact Wearable Connection Pair the base with the GO Ultra Magnet Pendant or Quick Release Safety Cord to position the camera while using an external power source. The base itself weighs 43 g. The camera, pendant, safety cord and power bank are separate equipment, so choose the complete mounting arrangement to suit the activity and keep the cable secure. Move Footage Through the Same Connection With the camera powered on, the base can connect to a compatible smartphone or computer for file transfer. Select the camera’s file-transfer mode when prompted. On iOS, open the Insta360 app before selecting the transfer function. This provides another route for moving footage when the Action Pod is elsewhere. Keep the Contacts Clean and Dry Attach the camera and base in a clean, dry place. Check both sets of charging contacts before connecting them and clean with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid liquid detergents, perfumes and cosmetic residues, which can damage contact surfaces. Keep charging equipment away from flammable materials. Summary The GO Ultra Charging Base adds a compact direct power and transfer connection to the standalone camera. Use it to recharge between takes or supply a supported recording setup from an external source, with clear limits for extended powered use. Add the appropriate pendant, safety cord and power supply separately to complete the setup.
