Insta360’s new wireless mic adds microSD storage and costs less

Developing story first seen 1 hour ago

Engadget ·

Insta360 has launched its new Mic wireless microphone, adding expandable microSD storage and a lower price to features such as a customisable e-ink display. The storage enables internal 32-bit float recording, which can help preserve audio when recording conditions are unpredictable.

The Mic shares the Mic Pro’s noise reduction and can connect directly to several recent Insta360 cameras to record 48kHz audio without a receiver. It lacks the Pro’s three-microphone array for directional sound pickup, while one receiver can support up to four mics and works with both models. Prices are $80 for a single mic, $140 with a receiver, or $250 for two transmitters, a receiver and charging case.
