In this video I want to show you a few accessories that you can use with your Insta360 ONE X2 because
when I did the review and I was testing out the audio and that kind of thing, the audio on
the microphones in the camera didn't sound very good so there's one way that you can
do it using a few different accessories and also means that the microphone won't be seen
in the shot as well because obviously it's a 360 camera so you have to be
kind of wary about which microphone you use if you want to– if you don't want it to be seen.
So I'm going to show you the accessories that you can use and then let you hear the audio as well.
Vlogging with the Insta360 would not be my first choice in camera for vlogging but it's
still a choice nonetheless because it's such a fun camera to use and just being able to get
different perspectives and stuff whilst filming and then changing the perspective whilst editing
is just really useful. The microphone I'm going to be using is the RodeWireless GO II. I love
this wireless microphone system it's awesome, the quality is just really, really good and
I went out and I filmed when it was really windy and I had the wind muff on and from what I could
hear I was listening back to the audio and watching the footage on my phone and from what
I could hear it sounded really good and it didn't really pick up much wind noise. So I'm using the
Rode Wireless GO II so here it is and I am going to show you how I set everything up and which way
the cable needs to go and all that kind of thing. So the first thing that you're going to need,
well the first few bits that you're going to need, well the only bits that you're going to need
is this wireless adapter from Insta360. So this goes into the usbc port on the ONE X2
and then the other thing that you're going to need is also this TRS to TRS cable
and then the next thing is this clamp by Ulanzi and this allows you to attach the
Wireless GO II transmitter, no, receiver to the bottom of the ONE X2 so this is by Ulanzi,
so these bits and pieces are ones that you can actually get from the Insta360 website so I'll
put links in the description to where you can get those and just for your reference it's for
the Ulanzi clamp it is the PT-20 so you're looking out for that if that's if that's what you want to
get and then the mic adapter is the vertical version you have to make sure that you get
the vertical version because if you get the other one then it will be seen with the Insta360 ONE X2
because what you want to do is make sure that when you're attaching any kind of external microphone
you want it to be in this blind spot so make sure that it's not any wider than the ONE X2 itself
so it doesn't protrude past the width of the ONE X2 because then it'll be picked
up by the lenses. So I'm going to show you how to attach everything and where everything goes
so the first thing is you'll need to take the side off the usbc port, it's attached with a
little string here - a little string - a little cable. Literally just pull it out really gently
and that's it and then just put it somewhere safe so that you don't lose it because obviously once
this is off then it's not going to be waterproof anymore so store that somewhere safe and and then
to put it back on you literally just pop it in there and then just press a little bit firmly and
then it's back in. When I first did this I thought it was going to snap and then I pulled it by
accident and it came out so it's fine. So you take that out and then the next thing you want to do
is put the wireless adapter in so that goes in - you'll see which way it goes there's only one way
it can really go anyway, so you put it in here and just make sure that that clips in there.
The next thing that you want to do is make sure that
you put this round the right way as well so the same side that the mic adapter is on
and then all you're going to do is just attach the selfie stick and just screw it in.
So it looks like that and just make sure it's kind of straight.
So that's what that looks like and then the in order to put the Rode
Wireless Go 2 on, the great thing about this is that it's got these little holes so
the cold shoe mount has these little holes which keeps the receiver in place and
if you look on the Rode Wireless GO II it's got these little teeth in there, basically
these little bits which are going to go into the holes on the ONE X2. So you need to put
it in upside down because if you put it in facing downwards, so clipping it in like this
then your 3.5mm port is going to be on the inside which is obviously you don't want that
so it needs to go upside down and you'll see that it's the right way around as well because
the Rode text will be facing upwards. So that's the way that you want to have it so that it's
that way around and now with the cable what you want to do with that is make sure that
the bit that's like an l shape goes into the Rode Wireless GO II, so you plug that bit into there
and then that bit gets plugged in up there that's literally all you need to do.
One thing I will say is even though this setup is really – you can't see it when you're filming,
it doesn't get in the way but what I did realize was that when I was filming at one point
the cable was kind of, it wasn't flush with the side of the camera so you could see a little bit
of the cable poking out so when you do attach this make sure that your cable is basically straight so
it's not kind of poking out from the side of the camera because it will be seen within the lenses.
So this is currently what the audio sounds like with the Rode Wireless GO II and I'm
just holding it at the moment because I haven't really got anywhere to attach it
properly so this is what the audio sounds like and I'm going to switch over to just showing you
what the audio sounds like straight from the ONE X2 so let me do that now.
So this is now what the audio sounds like from the ONE X2 I have to bring it closer
so that you can actually hear me I also just realized that the wind reduction
is on so what I'm going to do is do that again with the wind
noise reduction off so that you can hear the difference. So now this is the audio from
the ONE X2 with wind reduction off so it's in 360 directional setting so this is what the audio
sounds like and it's quite windy today but not as windy as it was when I went out the other day to
try this but this is what the audio sounds like straight from the Insta360 ONE X2. So now this
is the audio from the Rode Wireless GO II again but with again the noise reduction wind reduction
switched off so it's in the 360 directional setting which I don't think makes a difference
but I guess I'll find out when I listen to the audio again but yeah I’ve got the furry windshield
on because it is windy today so if I just take this off so that you can hear the difference.
This is now what the audio sounds like without the wind –
the furry windshield on. So like I said it's not as windy as it was yesterday,
it's pretty much just light wind so yeah anyway this is what the audio sounds like.
So that's literally it, that's all you need really. I'll put a link in the description
to where you can get the camera as well because you can get the selfie stick for free if you use
my link in the description so do check that out but I hope that was useful. Do give the video a
thumbs up, I've got some more videos coming out on the Insta360 ONE X2 so do subscribe
if you want to see those videos but yeah, thanks for watching and catch you next time.
