ABOUT THE MANTIS SPRAY ENCLOSURE
The Mantis Spray is designed to protect the Insta360 Pro and Pro2 cameras from
exposure to water (rain, spray). The Mantis Spray enclosure is not watertight
or dustproof. Because the Insta360 Pro and Pro2 cameras quickly heat up during
recording, the enclosure has air vents and an integrated fan that extracts
heat from inside the enclosure.
CAUTIONS FOR USE
The enclosure is not watertight or dustproof. Do not submerge it or expose it
to water on an upward angle
Before cleaning the enclosure, remove the DC coupler, or disconnect the power
plug from the outlet.
Do not use solvents such as benzine, thinner, alcohol, acetone, kitchen
detergents, etc, to clean the enclosure or domes, since it may deteriorate the
external case or the coating may peel off.
If the domes require cleaning, use a soft cloth with fresh water or very mild
dish wash solution.
Store the enclosure in a dark, cool place. Do not store the enclosure in a
place where it is exposed to direct sunlight or heat buildup (e.g. car
interior).
Do not leave any metal items (such as clips or hex keys) near the contact
areas of the power plug or near the batteries.
Use the supplied silicone grease to lubricate the o-rings. Do not use
lubricants from other brands with the nitrile rubber O-ring on this enclosure,
only use the lubricant provided by Mantis.
Store the enclosure in a robust, shock-proof container during transportation;
avoid transporting while turned on.
Do not open the product in a wet or sandy environment. Protect the interior
from moisture and debris in order to prevent malfunction or leakage.
Do not store the product in an environment of high humidity.
Leaving the enclosure in direct sunlight for prolonged periods may result in
discoloration.
Keep out of reach of children, failure to do so could result in injury.
Defective products should be shipped to our factory or distributors for
service. Unauthorised disassembling and/or modifications could result in
malfunction or leakage.

CAPTURING TIME-LAPSE PHOTOS

for time-lapse photo mode before entering the water.

recording without using the Mantis Spray controller buttons. This will record
time-lapse photos even when the recording mode is set to a video format.
To Stop, press the mechanical button to stop taking photos. The camera remains
in photo mode. You can still start video recording by
pressing the top Mantis Spray controller button.
SWITCHING BETWEEN INSTA360 APP AND MANTIS CONTROLLER
The Insta360 Pro/Pro2 only allows one active device connection at a time. When
the Insta App is connected, the Mantis Spray controller can’t connect and vice
versa. Please use the Mantis Spray controller WebApp to disconnect or
reconnect the Mantis Spray controller from the camera.
Unlike the Mantis Sub, the Mantis Spray controller is configured to not
automatically connect to the Insta360 Pro/Po2. This is because we anticipate
that most customers will use a remote device to control and monitor the
livestream.
