Instamic Remote 4+

After updating the firmware in the instamic I was able to use the instamic again. I love this little microphone because is super convenient and it fits everywhere.

I’ve probably used this mic more than anyone on Earth. I have over 30 of them now between all three generations of releases. I’ve seen bugs come and go; Michele and his team are always listening and always improving the hardware and software.

If you’re having trouble with the app you need to update your firmware. This is still the least user friendly part of the process, but I know it’s something they’ll continue to improve because they’re literally improved everything else.

The Pro Plus is a fantastic piece of hardware. The Instamic in general literally changed the way I work, unlocking recording potential I never dreamed was possible.

I sympathize with people who have issues, I myself have had instances of frustration. But considering how many units i’ve used, how many hours of recording time they’ve all logged, it’s like 0.001% in the grand scheme of things.

Every single piece of pro hardware/software i’ve ever used has had issues. In this case, I can trust Michele to do something about it. I can’t say that about many other products. Have patience, read the instructions, contact support.

Not a very well built app, for the simple reason that it’s not intuitive, requires you to learn what items are controls, which items are just graphics, and it’s impossible to tell them apart due to the lack of differentiation or logical layout. 20% of the time they work, 80% of the time they don’t. You’ll receive dozens of meaningless warnings that re-direct you to the wrong settings panel. The fundamental pattern that the app is based around is unusual and unlike anything else I’ve worked with before and the documentation explains nothing so you’re left to devote a couple days to experimenting to see if you can get anything usable out of the $200 hardware. So far it’s been a terrible experience. Buyers remorse.
