Instamic Instamic Overview

Compact and Ready for Anything
The Zoom Instamic Pro Plus C (Mono) is an ultracompact microphone and recorder designed for creators who need reliable audio in any environment. At just 1.5 x 1 x 0.5", it delivers pristine 32-bit float recording in a form factor small enough to hide in plain sight.
Precision MEMS Mics and 32-Bit Float Recording
Four highly efficient MEMS capsules capture a 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency range at up to 135 dB SPL, ensuring full-spectrum sound that's clear, natural, and reliable even in loud environments. With 32-bit float capture, Instamic preserves every nuance of sound, from the softest whispers to the loudest peaks, without digital clipping. This means you can record confidently in unpredictable environments without worrying about levels.
Waterproof and Dustproof with Flexible Mounting Options
Rated IP67, the Instamic Pro Plus C shrugs off rain, snow, dirt, and dust, and can even be submerged in water up to 3.28' for 30 minutes. It's built to handle outdoor shoots, action setups, and extreme conditions where other recorders won't survive. Each unit provides three mounting methods—a magnet clip, adhesive tape, and nano suction tape—giving you placement flexibility whether attaching to clothing, vehicles, or set pieces. With up to 4.5 hours of continuous recording and convenient USB-C recharging, the Instamic Pro Plus C is built for extended sessions in the field.
Timecode, Bluetooth, and Remote Control
Equipped with a 2.5 ppm internal timecode clock, the Pro Plus C integrates seamlessly with professional workflows. It supports Atomos and Tentacle Sync wireless timecode, ensuring rock-solid sync between audio and video with no drift or guesswork. Instamic can also function as a Bluetooth mic for phones and computers. With the app, you can capture video with Instamic audio directly—no syncing required. It works with popular third-party apps like Filmic and Blackmagic Camera and is compatible with iOS, Android, macOS, and Windows. The Instamic Remote App (iOS and Android) lets you manage up to 10 units at once, powering them on, monitoring live, syncing timecode, and adjusting a 3-band EQ, all from your phone or tablet.

Quality Control Issues

Glued seal was pulling apart straight out of the box. Luckily, I noticed before using it in the rain like it’s advertised to do. Audio sounds good but this build quality is sad.

I Love The Sound Quality

32bit Floating Point Is Superb From My View. Used It For Longer Recordings And It Does Not Drift. It Is Easy To Transfer Files Via USB, Works As A USB Mass Storage. The Sound Quality Is Significantly Better Than That Of My Other Wireless Mics, And It Is Waterproof. I Plan To Take It With My Insta360 X5 When I Head To The Beach. Downsides: The App Takes Some Time To Get Used To, But After A Couple Of Uses, It Became Clear And Easy To Operate With My Two Units. I Encountered Some Challenges With The Firmware Upgrade Process, Which Was A Bit Confusing. However, I Appreciated The Good Support I Received From The Instamic Team, Which Made The Experience Much Smoother.

The specs mention Atomos timecode sync. If synced with the Atomos Blue, will it maintain that sync while out of range?
Asked by: Rob
The Instamic Pro Plus C will maintain its timecode sync after leaving the Bluetooth range of the Atomos UltraSync Blue, but for a limited time. The timecode will drift, and the devices will need to be re-synced after a few hours.
