Operating

Once the Mic Adapter is securely attached and your external microphone is connected, your Insta360 X3 camera will automatically recognize the external audio input. You can then proceed with recording as usual.

• Enhanced Audio: The external microphone will capture higher quality audio compared to the camera's built-in microphones, ideal for vlogging, interviews, or environments with background noise.
• Invisible in 360 Footage: The design of the Mic Adapter ensures it remains completely invisible when shooting in 360-degree mode, maintaining the immersive quality of your footage.
• Simultaneous Charging: The integrated USB Type-C charging port allows you to power your camera while recording with the external microphone, extending your shooting time.

Maintenance

• Not Waterproof: The Mic Adapter itself is not waterproof. Using it in wet conditions may damage the adapter and potentially your camera. Always ensure the adapter is dry before connecting it to your camera.
• Storage: Store the Mic Adapter in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the adapter. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Insta360 X3 Mic Adapter, please consider the following:

• No Audio Input: Ensure the Mic Adapter is securely connected to the camera and the camera's original USB Type-C port lock cover has been removed. Verify that your external microphone is properly plugged into the adapter's 3.5mm port and is functioning correctly.
• Charging Issues: Check that the USB Type-C charging cable is fully inserted into the adapter's charging port and connected to a working power source.
• Loose Connection: The buckle design is intended for a firm fit. If the adapter feels loose, ensure it is correctly aligned and fully clicked into place.
