Insta360 might be a company known for its action cameras, but they make microphones, too. And their newest product, the Insta360 Mic Pro, a wireless microphone for on-the-move recording, competing with the likes of the Rode Wireless Go and the DJI Mic.
That competition is obvious on the visual front, as one of the defining features of the Mic Pro is the 6-colour e-ink display on the transmitter module. If you’re curious how a display on your microphone enhances recording quality, well, it doesn’t. Instead, the display is meant to showcase logos, production identifiers, or art for whatever production group you’re recording for.
It’s similar to microphone flags, which are those logos you’ll find on the microphones held by newscasters and reporters.

E-ink display aside, the Mic Pro does have some proper audio features. Specifically, each transmitter module is equipped with three microphones, allowing it to have multiple polar patterns.
