Insta360 X4 Mic Adapter – Adds 3.5 mm Mic Input and USB-C Pass-through

The Insta360 X4 Mic Adapter gives your X4 camera a 3.5 mm microphone input plus a USB‑C charging/pass‑through port. It enables wired external microphones while keeping your 360° footage free from visible gear. Use it when you need higher-quality audio without disrupting the immersive look of your shots.

Key features

• Provides a 3.5 mm microphone input for professional lavaliers or on‑camera mics.
• Includes a USB‑C pass‑through port to charge the X4 while recording or to power accessories.

• Durable construction with a flexible cable for easy positioning and reliable connection.

Why use the X4 Mic Adapter?

First, it adds a professional 3.5 mm input so you can record cleaner dialogue and commentary than the internal mic typically allows. Second, the USB‑C pass‑through keeps your X4 powered during long takes, so you can record without interruption. Finally, the adapter’s slim profile keeps cables and connectors out of the 360° field of view, preserving stitch accuracy and the immersive perspective.

Practical use cases

• Capture crisp dialogue and interviews with a lavalier mic while keeping the camera free of visible attachments.
• Record ambient sound or location audio with an on‑camera microphone without compromising the 360° image.
• Power or charge the X4 via the adapter’s USB‑C pass‑through during extended shoots or when using additional powered accessories.

Installation and handling

The adapter plugs directly into the X4’s USB‑C port and requires no tools. Its flexible cable lets you route the microphone or power cable for a tidy setup. Because of its low profile, you can position the adapter to remain out of the camera’s visible range in 360° footage.
