When running some tests on the new Insta360 GO 3 / GO 3S Quick Reader, I uncovered a file integrity issue, which occurs when transferring files to a memory card. Check out the channel for the full review of the Quick Reader and lots more Insta360 content.

Thank you for mentioning this issue. I'm adding it to my list of issues collected before. The eagerness to release new products can put a lot of pressure on companies (engineers) to the point where they might not fully finalize the testing process. This can lead to products being released with bugs that are then addressed later with firmware updates. In some cases, it feels like companies don't consider the user perspective as much as they should (though this isn't true for all brands, for sure). This is why I'm skeptical about buying new products with a high price tag that might be buggy. Because of that, I usually take my time before making a purchase and look for unbiased reviews from trusted sources (like you). Thanks again!

i was thinking it was the more serious kind of issue, file corruption.
i think its actually doing copy and "delete" at the same time.
that's why your file created time on the microSD card show the date and time it was "moved over"
but rather than actually filling the Go 3 with 0's in the memory cells, its leaving the memory intact but changing the data index to empty and ready for new data.
the Go 3 sees it as empty, our PC or phone sees it as empty.
it helps to save power and extend lifespan of memory cells.
usually software will transfer the metadata of the original file and overwrite the new file's metadata at the destination.

With this reader, can I change the camera settings through the app?
