If you’re using an Insta360 X5 to capture your adventures, vlogs, or even outdoor interviews, you know how essential sound is to making a video truly immersive. And that’s exactly where the Mic Air comes in: this ultra-light 7.9g gem may be the accessory that will transform your audio setup.
Light as a feather, powerful as a pro
The Mic Air weighs only 7.9 grams, which means that it is almost as discreet as a coin. It attaches in the blink of an eye, without cables, without external receivers, and without headaches. You can wear it as a clip, as a pendant or via its magnetic holder — it’s up to you to choose your style.
And despite its small size, this microphone packs a punch:
- High-fidelity audio in 48 kHz
- Built-in noise cancellation for clear sound even in windy or noisy environments
- Omnidirectional mic : Pick up everything you say, no matter how you move
Direct compatibility with the X5
No need to struggle with complicated connections or configurations. The Mic Air connects directly to the Insta360 X5, without an external receiver. It’s literally: you clip it, you film, that’s all.
It even allows you to trigger video recording or activate noise reduction directly from the transmitter (a feature supported by the X5). Suffice to say that you can focus on your catch, not on your gear.
