Insta360 Mic Pro - New wireless mic with 32-bit stereo internal recording

To get past security, do you think would sticking it to the back of your phone like a phone grip would work?

Is anyone going to look at it closely enough to determine it's a recorder? I wouldn't even take it out of my pocket. Last show I went to, I had an Instamic Pro C in one pocket, and my lucky silver dollar and a neodymium magnet in another, and neither set off the wand. It's not a gun, knife, or vape, so it's probably not going to get a second glance.

Some of those mushroom things have a circular kind of spiral pattern on the back - make that the display image and it might help. I think I will try that right now...

Here you go - a little while back I attached a sticky metal disk to the back of my phone (I got a packet from Amazon a few years ago) and the Mic Pro holds onto that like a limpet, particularly if I use the supplied magnet thingy.  I guess if showing a guy your phone while holding it they wouldn't see what is underneath it anyway - or if put on a table type surface, phone screen up, they would assume it had a holder behind as it wouldn't lie flat.  And if they glanced at the back, the image on the Mic Pro kind of looks like the back of a holder.  Well, slightly...

Pics attached, hopefully... you could download the design I used to your phone and use that to customise your Mic Pro display.  Or not.

If anyone read the two posts I have just deleted, I embarrassed myself by incorrectly assembling the MS pair I was comparing to the Mic Pro.  Idiot.  And so the comparison I did, and uploaded to YouTube, will now have to be done again from scratch.  This is what happens when you get old.  But on the other hand, it shows that while some traditional mic techniques can be totally done wrong, you would have to work hard to make a mistake with the Mic Pro!
