With the launch of the new Insta360 Mic Pro, the brand best known for its 360-degree action cameras now offers a pro-grade wireless microphone system for content creators, podcasters and filmmakers.
If you’re wondering whether or why the industry needs another compact wireless mic system, rest assured: Insta360 wouldn’t be doing this if they didn’t have something totally original to offer.
The Mic Pro introduces a couple of very innovative – you might even say groundbreaking – technologies. The triple microphone array is pretty interesting, but let’s start with the customizable E-Ink display.
Thanks to the use of this electronic digital display, the Mic Pro can brandish a personalized name, logo or other identifier emblazoned on a screen at the front of the mic throughout a shot. You just use the Insta360 app to upload artwork to the mic’s transmitters and voilà: you don’t just sound like a pro but look like one too.
That accompanying professional level of audio is maintained by the integration of three mics into each transmitter unit, allowing users to choose the correct pickup pattern for a given scenario.
The three-microphone array not only captures a wider, more immersive sound field but also relieves you of the need to aim the mic precisely in a chosen direction – you’ll get consistent pickup from multiple angles.

Powered by a dedicated NPU chip, the Insta360 Mic Pro uses AI-powered noise reduction to deliver high-fidelity audio and automatically adjusts volume levels based on voice intensity – no manual gain tweaking required. And you’ve got 32-bit float internal recording to ensure wide dynamic range while reducing the risk of clipped audio.
The Insta360 Mic Pro is available in 2 TX + 1 RX and 1 TX + 1 RX kits. The Insta360 MM Mic Pro transmitter is also sold separately – and can record audio internally using its own built-in onboard memory.
