AUDIO CAPTURE

Record the sky, not just the picture.

Drone audio is usually useless because the props drown everything out. An isolated microphone pod offset from the body is a starting point for experiments.

  1. 01

    Offset and isolated

    The mic pod sits on the side of the body, away from the battery and stack.

  2. 02

    Expect prop noise

    Honestly: prop noise remains. Post-processing does the heavy lifting.

  3. 03

    Great for research

    Acoustic tests, wind studies and art projects all benefit from a fixed mic position.

QUESTIONS
Can I record voices?

Expect heavy noise. Ground recording is usually better.
