I still actually was having issues with the audio adapter but it was really down to user error and a very specific problem. Rode Wireless Go has no sound on Insta360 ONE X2 The reason I like using the Rode wireless Go 2 with the Insta360 ONE X2 is the fact that it is small and can be hidden out of view and it also has multiple simple gain controls that are useful when the camera has none. So if your mic has no gain options you may need to practice with mic placement to get the right sound levels. One thing to bear in mind though is that the Insta360 has no audio interface in terms of levels. There are only a few recommended mics for the Insta360 ONE X2 adapter but I have tried a few that are not on the list and they work fine. External mic too loud or quiet on Insta360 One X2 The only drawback for me is the fact that it only accepts a mono signal as opposed to stereo. If you have it connected with no mic attached it will fall back to the internal mics which is a nice touch. It also indicates on the camera whether it is connected or not. The mic adapter is quite a nice accessory, it sits just out of view of the camera with a bit of clever mic placement. It will just pop out with a bit of force. When you have the adapter be sure to remove the rubber USB C port protector entirely so it can sit flush against the camera. You need to buy the audio adapter, which is sold separately. If you are like me and thought the Rode Wireless Go 2 using the RC16 USB cable or USB C equivalent mic would plug straight into the Insta360 ONE X2 you can’t unfortunately.

Then long press again to try and switch it on. Make sure your battery is charged and both catches are fully clipped into the side of the unit. The battery catch is very fiddly, the side can look like it is flush but one of the catches may not be fully in. Do this and then when you reconnect it the camera will activate (be sure to be logged in to an Insta360 account). To overcome it I had to go to settings and under ‘connect camera’ and then select the connected camera and it will give the option to disconnect. I wasn’t logged in to an account when I first connected and then the option to activating would flash up but not be usable and the camera would connect automatically but not activate.

So to get the camera working you will need to install that app and connect to it over Bluetooth or WiFi, it is recommended to have both switched on. It will pop up a message saying ‘please install the Insta360 app’. To get the camera working you need to activate it, otherwise, the shutter button doesn’t work.
