Hello Bob, thanks for getting this video uploaded. Definitely a positive having changed to USB-C connection. I felt your pain with fighting the firmware on your Insta360 camera. It reminded me trying to get a Canon printer/scanner/fax machine hooked to my MacBook Pro computer 😂. I have to admit the audio with the full face helmet was not bad, but I thought it was more impressive with the open face helmet test except at 50 MPH. Where do you have the Instamic located in your helmet relative to your mouth and which mount are you using? You mentioned you are using the windsock; don’t you find this tickles your face. I glued the magnet inside my helmet and have tried several locations inside my HJC modular helmet. I have the Instamic Pro Plus (prev model) and have it with the latest firmware. For some reason, I can’t trust it to always connect to my Insta360 X3 or Ace Pro. I really want to get into Motorcycle vlogging, but it seems I’m always fighting with the Instamic. I’m this close on giving up and purchasing a RODE GO2 system. I’m also retired (68) and I really need to learn and get more experienced with video editing. I love riding my bike and really would like to share some of my riding experiences. Bob, thanks again for the video and feedback on the Instamic. Good luck getting Insta360 to fix the Instamic interface problem. All the Best, James.
First off, thanks for the reply and questions! (I'll be 69 next month, so I've found I'm never too hold to teach this old dog a new trick, or start up a new hobby!) haha So, firmware on the Insta360s...I'll betcha that's your issue with the X3 and AcePro..while their version numbers will be different than mine on the One R, I would suggest loading an earlier version (1 or previous) firmwares for the X3 and AcePro. (i'll have a video out shortly on how to do it for the One R, which may or may not be similar to the X3 and AcePro) While we're talking about your connection issues, please Message the InstaMic CEO Michele Baggio on the InstaMic Facebook page...he will be more than happy to listen to your issue and help with a solution. Michele is a great guy that I've worked with for at least 3-4 years. Now, on to my HJC modular helmet... I find the sound to be clearer with the windsock on..being modular, this helmet does not have a chin seal, so quite a bit of wind comes up from underneath, hence the preference for the windsock. To minimize the 'tickling the lips' issue, I use the 3M tape mount about 2 to 3 inches to the right of center, just below the visor...it tickles my cheek a bit, but I really don't notice it much there I have to admit. Hope some of this helps. BTW, if you have any questions about Vlogging or editing in post, reach out to me...I'd be more than happy to help if I can! Bob
Excellent video Bob! These seem to be great little mics. I know I went to purchase one a year or two ago and they were all sold out. I wonder if this newer version will also work with the X2. I'm currently considering purchasing the Insta360 Ace Pro so it will connect to my cardo but I would rather wait if I can. All these upgrades can be hard to keep up with and end up costing $$$. It's like everytime you get an upgrade, something else is needed to go with the upgrade. Happy to see you are still making videos ☺
To answer my own question, yes it does work with the X2 according to their website. I followed your link and finally purchased it! I got the Mic, wind socket and hand held adapter. I can't wait for it to arrive 😀Cheers!
Great to hear from you Ali ! Yep! I’m still alive and kicking, and plan on doing some occasional videos…I frankly got burned out doing videos…it became a chore and not fun anymore, plus it seemed like I just didn’t have the time. I found I still like doing these type of self help videos, and reviews, so hope to continue to do some more of those. Hope all is going well for you…thought of you the other as our next door neighbors are currently on a trip to Montreal and then on to Nova Scotia!
That is great!! The CEO Michele is a great guy, and is always more than happy to provide any assistance if needed. I’ll send him a message and let him know you ordered one!
Thanks Bob. I’m hoping it will work with my One RS. My software for that is 2.0.11.4 so I’m leery. Not sure how different the capability of the RS compared to the R Bluetooth affects that version. I’d hoped to be able to use my Sena headset but I’d need to upgrade to the ace pro cam and that would kill my ability to Vlog with my 360 lens which is what I use almost exclusively.
The Insta360 techs had me try 2.0.11.1, but I still wasn't able to connect either my AirPods, nor my InstaMic. All is good though running 1.3.8.1 for now though, until Insta360 gets their act together (hopefully)
@@WhatsUpBob watched your other video. Went to their site and the RS isn’t able to go to that version. I spoke to customer support who reached out to their engineers and the RS does not have a firmware version comparable with Instamic pro, Sena, or anything other than AirPods sadly. Thinking I may end up selling my whole kit and getting an X4 :( Wired purple panda mix works fantastic but having the wire swinging around and making the camera not waterproof is a pain
@@AjaySingh-228so bad news for now... Per Instamic CEO, "It doesn't as far as I know.. DJI is building its own ecosystem of video and audio. They are pushing hard in selling their Mic 2. I guess they won't release any Bluetooth Audio Standard profile to support other microphones."
I don't have a X4 to test, but InstaMic CEO @michelebaggio of @instamic has told me the InstaMic is designed to work with the X3 and X4. If you have any questions or concerns about it I urge you to reach out and message Michele on his Facebook or InstaMic page.

I just put a video out a couple of weeks ago, to show how to downgrade Insta360 firmware, if you're interested in doing so.
@@WhatsUpBob thanks!! I’ll check it out

Looks Good Sir...Hope it works with Dji Action 3 as well
I'll send a message to the InstaMic CEO and see what he thinks....
@@WhatsUpBob Oh okay sir...Eagerly waiting for the replay

So will the instamic work with the insta360x4?
I don't have a X4 to test, but InstaMic CEO @michelebaggio of @instamic has told me the InstaMic is designed to work with the X3 and X4.
