There’s a screen on the Insta360 Mic Pro that never turns off. It doesn’t drain the battery. It doesn’t fade in direct sunlight. And when I first heard about it, I thought it was a gimmick. A few days after testing it on the Central Line platform at Bank Station with fellow YouTuber K24Tech, I’ve got a clearer picture of what this microphone actually is, who it’s for, and whether the headline feature is even the right feature to focus on.
Insta360 sent me this kit to test. As usual, they have no say in this review and don’t see it before it goes live. So what follows is my honest verdict, not a press release.
