Instamic Remote

This is quite the impressive mic. A little ticky to understand the concepts of making it work, but after you figure it out, very powerful.

Instantly crashes on iPhone X when you try and connect the mic. UPDATE: The reason it crashes is because the Instamic needs a firmware update to work with the latest app. This is easy but it was not clear. When I complained about the problem I. Instamics Facebook page they were very responsive and are also going to implement a pop up in the app to let us know when a firmware update is needed. They are working hard to make the experience better.

Make sure you update the firmware. If you can’t get it on your own contact customer support. Now that it’s all working I am very happy with the mic. The sound quality on the upper end frequencies is the only issue I have at the moment. You can adjust them in post production though. There is really nothing else out there quite like this mic. It’s really nice when you need it.

This app is good but definitely feels very beta. They greeted out button at the end is really pointless - I don’t understand why they have a button just to tell you that new features are “coming”. Please get rid of that. Also - an important function that is missing is the ability to listen to recorded files! You still have to connect the Instamic to a computer for that. I can also never quite get the monitoring to work even after pairing it with Bluetooth (you essentially have 2 Bluetooth connections to this device).

These little mics are so useful and the app makes using them even easier. They capture amazing audio in a very compact and versatile form factor. We use them in our recordings of weddings and have found them to be true lifesavers. We ended up buying a total of four of these little mics. Highly recommend.
