INSTAMIC ANNOUNCEMENT - 1.2.2 iOS and Android + 1.2.21 Firmware Update


Releasing a new software and firmware update is always super exciting and intense.


The 1.2.2 update is full of features that our community asked for and suggested.

We hope it will make many of our users happy :-)


IMPORTANT Please make sure to upgrade your Instamic firmware to the latest version (1.2.21) before upgrading the Instamic Remote App (Procedure at https://instamic.freshdesk.com/solution/articles/26000030150-how-to-update-your-instamic-firmware). We also highly recommend not to upgrade your software and firmware before or in the middle of a production.


Here is the list of cool features we added. We hope you like them as much as we do :-)


Take naming (Settings Page)

Each take you record will get the name from your Instamic's name. Tracking each recording got a lot easier, right?! :)

The new file format is NAME_000.wav (no special characters are allowed)


Take numbering (Settings Page)

Do you want to start your next recording with your lucky number? Now you can.

You have 3 digits to choose from and your next take will start from there.


Sleep mode (Settings Page)

It reminds us of the old alarm clocks or TV sets but it gets very useful when you want to save your Instamic's battery life.

You can turn it off (Instamic always on) or set preset or custom time.


Manual LEDs control (Capture Page)

Several users ask to manually control the LEDs to check if Instamic was recording when the unit is not within reach.

Now you can keep the "Auto LEDs off mode" on (the LEDs go off after 10 secs) or turn them on and off manually from the app.


Lock button (Capture page)

When you are in control of your Instamic is one thing, but what if someone else is wearing or handling your Instamic?

To be on the safe side, you can now lock the recording button from the app, so no-one can interrupt or accidentally trigger your Instamic.

To unlock it from the device, hold the button for 6 secs, 3 LEDs will turn on for one sec. and you are back in control of your Instamic even without the app.

p.s. also called 'e-lock' from Emma Wilson, one of our earliest beta testers, who indirectly asked for this feature ;-) We hope you like it.


Let us know what you think and leave us comments on each platform section (Android and iOS) of this Forum.


Looking forward to releasing the 1.2.3 :)
