Following the launch of its wireless Mic Pro system last May featuring built-in color E Ink screens for custom branding and an array of three microphones to emulate different pickup patterns, Insta360 has announced a cheaper alternative that skips a few features many content creators might not miss.
The new Insta360 Mic sits between the company’s Mic Pro and the budget-friendly Mic Air, which uses much smaller screenless transmitters. While the Mic Pro is priced at $329.99 for a kit that includes two microphone transmitters, one wireless receiver, and a charging case, the Insta360 Mic costs $249.99 for a similar bundle. Insta360 sells the microphones individually since they can directly connect to smartphones and many of the company’s cameras (including the X6, X5, and Luna Ultra) over Bluetooth. The Mic Pro transmitter on its own costs $99.99, while the new Insta360 Mic is $79.99.
