Insta 360 with Instamic wireless microphone. Moto-vlog.

I’ve recently bought an Insta 360 x3 and want to use it as a single camera for moto-vlogging. But I don’t want to helmet mount it and wire it to a mic in my helmet. Mostly because you then can’t use the 360 camera mode - which seems to me to defeat the object.

Most wireless mic systems have a mic/transmitter which you fit in your helmet but also a receiver which you plug in to the camera - so you would need the mic adapter for the Insta360 x3 - and the camera then isn’t waterproof. You’ve also now got the reciever, adapter, a mounting bracket and a wire stuck on the outside of the camera which on a motorcycle doesn’t really appeal either.

‪@WhatsUpBob‬ made a video about Instamic which is exactly what I was looking for.

Insta360 One R to InstaMic Wireless M...

Instamic is a tiny self contaned mic which you can put in your helmet and it connects to the camera by Bluetooth.

Thanks What’s Up Bob👍

I picked one up on eBay and it syncs easily with the Insta 360 using the AirPod connectivity.

There’s an app too for Instamic so you can change the settings on the mic. I’ve dropped the gain down to -15 Db because it’s inside my helmet. You need to disconnect the Instamic from your phone to be able to connect it with the camera.

This video was the first time I’d used the Instamic with the Insta360 x3. So I could probably fiddle about with the settings to improve the audio further. But I was really impressed by how easy it is to use and I thought the audio was pretty good.

With the Instamic you can mount your camera anywhere on the bike and record voice audio from your helmet directly as part of the video track without having to attach anything else to your camera.
