For vloggers who want cleaner wireless mic audio using a smart phone this is a pretty good solution. I bought this because I have been using my Samsung S8 ( https://amzn.to/34ScORN ) smart phone (with a TRRS headphone jack) for vlogging and wanted a wireless mic system so I am not tethered by a microphone cord or limited by my phones microphone. You will need a TRRS to TRS audio adapter (https://amzn.to/34Szst8 ) to use this with audio recorders or DSLR cameras.

PROS:
– Wireless microphone system for smartphones with holder.
– Good audio pickup from mic with little or no noise ( check out my video with audio sample)
– 5 hour battery run time and charges by USB
– Has monitor and audio out to test and monitor audio (good if you you want to check audio.)

CONS:
– Design not really good for using on DSLR cameras as its bulky and vertical.
– It has a TRRS cable out put for smartphones – for DSLR cameras for vloggers you will need a 3.5mm TRRS (female) to TRS (male) adapter (https://amzn.to/34Szst8 ) in order to feed audio to your camera or laptop application.
– For newer smartphones without headphone jacks, you will need an adaptor.
– For my smartphone to see it as “external mic” , I needed to put the TRRS cable into the camera first, then plug in the other end to the Receiver unit.
– Unknown quality – follow up review later in a few months (maybe).

If you plan to continue to just use a smartphone to vlog this would be a great tool. If you plan to do DSLR camera work with wireless mics, this will work but you will need adaptors. Or get something more compact.

Insta360 One R – My $60 Wireless Mic Audio Setup for Vlogging.

I bought my Insta360 One R ( https://amzn.to/3jGcKt5 ) a flew months ago and needed to go wireless so here is my wireless for Vlogging – about $60!

I bought Insta360 Audio adapter ( https://amzn.to/3250CLz ) that allows for TRS audio for the Insta360 One R was about $10. The wireless headset lavalier microphone transmitter and receiver ( https://amzn.to/2TLwL6y ) was $45 on sale on Prime Day this year. The microphone set came with a transmitter and receiver and 3 microphones. You will still need a mount the receiver close to the camera, i was using gaffers tape ( https://amzn.to/3jOkJ6S ) until I bought an aluminum hard case ( https://amzn.to/3jSinUl ) for with cold shoe mounts for my Insta360.

Overall a simple setup. The receiver is small enough to hid between the 360 cameras blend “invisible zone” . The only draw back is the included mics of the system are weak cardioid microphones. So the volume is low for the mics unless you have them set at max volume and within 4 inches of your voice direction. While it works, a powered omni directional microphone would be better for this. I tested it with the original mics and the omni and it clearly sounds better with the omni mic.

I few days ago, my Insta360 ONE R ( https://amzn.to/3jGcKt5 ) had a stuck door Stuck did not open.

With footage on the camera I needed to open the USB door to get to the 256 gb memory card our or plug in my USB C cable. I contacted Insta360 Support for advice. They told me to either send it to their repair facilities in Hong Kong or US office. Or I can try using a pin to slowly pry the edges of the door to pop it open. I needed the footage so i used the pin, and it worked! I was able to get the door open. I believe the gasket or usb door tether got stuck with the door lock.

I bought my new Insta360 ONE R – TWIN EDITION ( https://amzn.to/3jGcKt5 ) a month ago and the door is now stuck with my 256 GB micro SD card . For more Youtube vlogging equipment check out.
