Overview
- Insta360, which launched the Mic Pro on Tuesday, put the two‑transmitter, one‑receiver kit on sale starting at $329.99.
- The transmitters feature a customizable E‑Ink screen that holds a logo or name even when powered off, helping crews label and spot mics on busy sets and in bright sunlight.
- Each transmitter uses three microphones and on‑board processing to switch pickup patterns between omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure‑of‑8, so users can adapt to solo shoots, interviews, or ambient capture without swapping hardware.
- 32‑bit float internal recording to 32GB per transmitter provides a safety net against clipping and dropouts, with files auto‑split every 30 minutes to protect long takes.
- Workflow options include 4‑to‑1 and 2‑to‑4 routing, connections over 3.5mm or USB, direct pairing to Insta360 cameras, and timecode sync for multi‑camera shoots, with a firmware update planned to let two transmitters link to a camera without a receiver.
