Description
Insta360 Mic
Custom E-Ink style. Expandable audio recording.
Record vlogs, interviews, livestreams and everyday stories with Insta360 Mic, a wireless lavalier microphone with a customizable E-Ink display, AI noise canceling and optional microSD internal recording. Clip it to your clothing, attach it magnetically, or use it handheld.
Choose your package before ordering: Mic Transmitter, Mic (1 TX + 1 RX), or Mic (2 TX + 1 RX). Only the 2 TX + 1 RX package includes a charging case. A microSD card is sold separately and is required for internal recording, including 32-bit float.
Compatible Insta360 cameras
Luna Ultra, Luna Pro, X6, X5, Insta360 Ace Pro 2, GO Ultra.
Key features:
- Customizable 6-color E-Ink display: Upload a logo, graphic or personal image through the Insta360 app. The transmitter has a 1.22-inch screen with 240 × 208 resolution. Actual displayed colors and appearance may differ from illustrative graphics.
- AI noise canceling: A dedicated audio chip with an NPU helps reduce background noise while preserving clear, natural speech. Choose from two noise-canceling levels to suit your surroundings.
- Expandable microSD storage: Insert a compatible card to save recordings locally on the transmitter. Without a card, use it to send audio to a connected camera, phone or computer through the appropriate connection.
- 24-bit or 32-bit float internal recording: Capture local audio with added flexibility for adjusting levels in post-production. 32-bit float applies only to internal recordings saved to microSD; it is not a claim about wireless or camera-recorded output.
- Insta360 Direct Connect: Pair the transmitter directly over Bluetooth with supported Insta360 cameras for 48 kHz audio without a receiver.
- Up to 13-hour transmitter operation: The receiver offers up to 11 hours. The 2 TX + 1 RX package offers up to 34 hours total use with its charging case under the manufacturer’s test conditions; this includes recharging, rather than 34 hours on one transmitter charge.
- Up to 400 m transmitter-to-receiver range: Measured in open, unobstructed, interference-free conditions. Obstacles, interference, orientation and the connected device can reduce range.
- Flexible mounting: Supplied clips, button magnets and windshields help adapt the microphone to your recording setup. Accessory quantities depend on the selected package.
Automatic level control and voice tones
Choose Prevent Audio Clipping (Automatic) for changing sound levels and noisy surroundings. It helps control sudden peaks and reduce the risk of clipping. Choose Auto Gain Control (Dynamic) for more even voice levels in controlled, quiet indoor settings.
Select a voice tone to match the speaker:
| Preset | Sound character |
|---|---|
| Standard | Balanced, natural voice for everyday recording. |
| Rich | More mid- and low-frequency body for a fuller voice. |
| Bright | More high-frequency presence for a clearer, more open voice. |
Compatible Insta360 cameras
Luna Ultra, Luna Pro, X6, X5, Insta360 Ace Pro 2, GO Ultra.
These models support the listed direct Bluetooth workflow. Available controls and connection capacity depend on camera model and firmware. Keep the camera, transmitter and receiver firmware current.
When directly connected to a compatible Insta360 camera over Bluetooth, the transmitter’s power button can start or stop camera recording. With a microSD card inserted and “Shoot with Internal Recording” enabled in the camera menu, supported setups can start and stop the transmitter’s internal recording alongside the camera.
Phone, camera and computer connections
| Device/workflow | Connection |
|---|---|
| Supported Insta360 camera | Transmitter directly to camera over Bluetooth; receiver not required. |
| USB-C phone | Receiver with the included USB-C mobile phone adapter in receiver kits. Device and recording-app compatibility apply. |
| Phone over direct Bluetooth | Transmitter to a supported third-party recording or streaming app. Audio is 16 kHz. The native phone camera app is not supported through this direct Bluetooth method. |
| Camera with a compatible 3.5 mm mic input | Mount the receiver on the cold shoe and connect its audio output to the camera’s mic input using the supplied camera audio cable. |
| Computer | Connect the receiver through its USB-C adapter to a supported USB-C computer, then select Insta360 Mic as the sound input. The official list specifies Windows 10 or later, or an M-series Mac. |
| Lightning phone | Requires the compatible Lightning mobile phone adapter, sold separately. |
The USB-C phone adapter and 3.5 mm camera audio cable are included only in the receiver packages. Cameras, phones, computers and separately listed adapters are not included.
Expand your recording setup
One receiver supports up to four transmitters. Compatible Mic and Mic Pro transmitters can be used together on the same receiver. Multi-camera configurations support up to 2 TX + 4 RX. Additional transmitters and receivers are sold separately; this listing supplies only the selected package.
Mono combines the transmitter audio. With two transmitters, Stereo places each transmitter on its own output channel. With more than two, TX1 + TX3 are combined on the left and TX2 + TX4 on the right. Safety Track provides a second track at -6 dB in the appropriate mode.
Four separate camera output channels require a supported Sony camera and the official Camera Adapter, sold separately. Four connected transmitters do not mean four isolated tracks through every connection.
The receiver also supports timecode input/output for compatible workflows. Availability varies by region; the official comparison marks timecode as unsupported in the United States.
Manage settings and internal files
The receiver’s OLED touchscreen displays battery and connection information. Use touch controls or the dial to adjust settings. The Insta360 app also supports settings, E-Ink image customization and firmware updates.
With a microSD card inserted, the transmitter can work as a standalone recorder. Internal audio is saved in 24-bit or 32-bit float format, with a new file created automatically every 30 minutes. Export internal recordings from the transmitter to a compatible phone or computer over USB-C.
Charging and power management
| Item | Manufacturer’s figures |
|---|---|
| Transmitter | Up to 13 hours; full charge approximately 50 minutes; approximately 80% in 22 minutes. |
| Receiver | Up to 11 hours; full charge approximately 60 minutes; approximately 80% in 30 minutes. |
| Charging case | Up to 34 hours total system use with recharging in the 2 TX + 1 RX setup; case charging approximately 2 hours. |
| Transmitter fast charge | Approximately 2 hours 20 minutes of use after a 5-minute charge under test conditions. |
Auto Sleep lets the transmitter sleep when it loses the receiver signal and reconnect when that signal returns. Optional Auto Power-Off shuts the transmitter and receiver down after 15 minutes without a connection. Camera power synchronization lets the receiver follow a compatible connected camera’s power state when enabled.
Battery figures were measured with noise canceling and internal recording disabled, both transmitters paired to a receiver, and the receiver connected to a camera by 3.5 mm cable at close range in an interference-free environment. The 34-hour result uses a fully charged case. Charging measurements used a 5 V/3 A charger; the 5-minute transmitter test started below 50% battery. Actual results vary with settings, storage use and conditions.
Before ordering
- Check your selected package and your device’s connection requirements.
- A separately purchased compatible microSD card is required for any internal recording. A dummy slot insert is not a storage card. No fixed 32 GB internal storage is advertised for Mic.
- Transmitter-only purchases do not include a receiver, phone adapter, camera audio cable or charging case.
- For native phone-camera recording, use a compatible receiver/adapter workflow; direct transmitter-to-phone Bluetooth does not support the native camera app.
- Optional Lightning adapter, Sony Camera Adapter, lavalier microphone and extra transmitters/receivers are sold separately.
- This microphone is not waterproof or dustproof. Protect it from water and dust.
