Insta360 Mic Air Transmitter, 7.9g Ultralight, Wireless Microphone, Noise Cancelling, Vlog, Streaming, Compatible X5/X4/X4 Air/Ace Pro 2/GO Ultra

I picked up the mic and transmiter thinking it’d be a cute little accessory, but this 7.9g gremlin delivers full “professional production team” energy. Setup is basically nonexistent—it just connects and goes, like it has somewhere important to be. The audio is insanely crisp (48kHz, apparently it has standards), and the noise reduction actually works, which is great because my environment sounds like a reality show meltdown. Also, the range is ridiculous—I wandered way farther than I needed to and it still didn’t drop me, and the battery just keeps going (around 10 hours, which is longer than my motivation). Five stars. It’s tiny, magnetic, and somehow more reliable than most people I know. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Works well and pairs well with the Insta 360 line of cameras. Build quality is good and sounds very clean. It's the perfect size with great portability and good value for the money.

Super compact and great sound quality. The mic connects to the X5 seamlessly and has multiple mounting options. It also includes a wind buffer ring and compact carrying case. You have options to select either sound track from the onboard mic or this BT mic which improves functionality. I have only used a few times so I am not sure of the overall battery life, but it made it through one X5 extended battery and charged quickly out of the box. I am concerned about losing it, especially when recording on a motorcycle or OneWheel, so I would prefer if there was a snap-mount or mounting loop for a safety lanyard. The magnet mount seems strong but it would still be easy to knock off and lose - its only about the diameter of a US Quarter.

I bought this microphone to help reduce wind noise while making videos riding my motorcycle, cruising in my boat, and racing go karts. It really does a good job of helping with the wind noise while keeping the sounds of the motors. The battery lasts a good while, I've yet to have it run out. It's easy to set up and functions great.

It seems to have become a badge of honor to wear those chunky wireless mics from other manufacturers. I think they've gotten a little out of hand and I dislike advertising for them. The insta360 mic is small and unobtrusive. Even so I have covered the logo on it so it's even less noticable. It comes in its own little case with the charging cord, the fluffy wind thing and a few different ways to mount it. Of course it works well with my x5 as its made for it. It connects quickly and provides a decent sound quality. The camera even responds to the button on the mic if you set it up that way. My one gripe about this unit is the battery life. But I suppose that's to be expected as it's so small.

Once you learn how to connect it this is a really great mic and great for catching the audio for my camera. It appears well and it’s very clear. The battery life is pretty decent, but it is sometimes hard to tell how to charge it is even after leaving it on the charger for a few hours. The function is pretty well.

My only problem, and it's a small one, is that it doesn't connect automatically when turned on. I have to go to the settings in the camera, and turn on Bluetooth every time I use it. Then it shows up on the screen, I click it, and it's connected. Takes a few seconds extra. Otherwise, it's great. Moving the microphone up to my helmet, instead of using the built in mic on the camera, which is mounted to my handlebar, cuts out a lot of road noise, and really increases the sound quality on my e-bike rides.

Worst customer service I have ever dealt with in my life. And I’m over 50. They ignore you. They hold your money and then cancel your order without any explanation. They refuse to handle order issues over the phone. Only chat. And then they just ignore you. Messenger, Facebook, X, their own website chat - doesn’t matter. And neither do you. Do NOT do business with insta360.
