DJI RC - Record Voice Audio to RC with DJI Mic

[@QCGUY]

You can playback on the RC your screen recording with the recorded audio as well incase you didn’t know. ✌️

[@AussieAdventurer]

Awesome- just want I need to hear - I had hoped to just use the SD card from what I recorded on the Screen including my voice and upload directly to KZbin- judging by what you said just now I can do that right???

[@QCGUY]

@@AussieAdventurer yes sir 👍🏻

[@charlesmerkel2512]

You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar, and there are damn few of us left. Your video just put an end to a day of frustration which is not good for someone 86 years old. I was really proud of myself for getting my Mini 3 Pro into the air after several years of being away from drones altogether, but then I ran into the this audio issue. I must have watched 10 other videos including DJI's but yours saved my day. 👍👍

JTurd is funny! Thanks for the info on how to set up recording on the controller. Very Helpful!

[@jcophoto75]

Thanks!! I have struggling with connecting the RC Pro with the Mic2 receiver for a week. I’m glad I listened to this because I would have never, ever, thought to raise the gain. As soon as I raised it to 12 I could hear. Crazy the two different DJI products do not have better integration. Guess they don’t talk across divisions. Thanks for this clip!

[@rickparkinmoto]

I hope DJI include better interface integration with the mic in a future update. Thanks for the workaround info!

[@QCGUY]

Definitely would like a little more in the settings for it yes 👍🏻

[@RavensEyeOffroad]

I bought just a generic lavalier setup and it recorded fine here at the house, i drove an hour away to film a review of my mavic 3 pro and discovered it never recorded anything. :( I thought maybe i had it muted or something. Went all the way back another day and it didnt record either but would record on the laptop i took. I just figured it out and had to format the sd card in the controller, not sure what it had to do with anything but your video helped me solve it! Thank you!

[@Stone1108]

Chris, thanks so much for this, I’ve just tried it by turning up the gain and it worked. Mine was on the rc pro, i’ll try the rc in good time. I used +9 gain which seemed okay, quite high in fact for my system, but i’m using the mic2 system so maybe that’s why +10 was ample, no pun …. I’ll mess around with the gain to find the best setting for my gear. Thanks again Chris, this is why I love watching YT, well, for the most part! 👏

[@elipin4128]

Hi Chris . Thumbs up 👍🏻

[@rgorji]

Thank you for the video. I want to make sure about one thing. You can add audio as you mentioned to the screen recording however the screen recording is not 4K if you are shooting 4k on the drone. Correct? I would appreciate your response.. Thank you.

[@QCGUY]

Correct but you can add the audio to your drone recording in your editing software

[@AjazNawaz]

i am about to try one-year later, lets see if DJI have taken up your suggestions which are spot on btw !

[@psoon04286]

Tried with my Hollyland Lark M1 wireless mic combo. Works but had to bump the volume to max. Only consolation is the price difference.

[@QCGUY]

Definitely a price difference. Glad you have a cheaper alternative that works for you. 👍🏻

Many thanks for the video, considering a purchase but concern on the noise cancellation. Does it have settings to medium or to shut it off. I video competitions and we need to hear the outside noise. Can you please confirm? Thank you. Jim

[@QCGUY]

No matter where you set it you will always get a little noise cancellation but it may still be something that works for you. I can’t just simply answer for you here. Better to try them from a place you can return them to like amazon if they don’t work for you. Thanks

[@Worldoversea]

@@QCGUY Thank you, I guess I will have to try this. Was thinking since it comes with two mikes I can have one at the RC control or narrator and the other with moving competitor that is running the stages.

[@QCGUY]

@@Worldoversea yeah it’s hard for me to tell you for your situation but yes have the two mics give you even more options and you can make those like one audio file or two separate which is nice.

[@Worldoversea]

@@QCGUY Question, after I record the screen with sound when I download the video from the drone or the RC will the video have the sound or do I have to edit somehow? Thank you.

[@QCGUY]

@@Worldoversea The video will have the sound attached and you can also upload the sound alone from each mic.

[@precisionpressurewashing2037]

Would be nice if i can find a video that shows how to get the audio file from screen recording. I get the screen recording video and hear audio, but dont have a audio file.

[@QCGUY]

If it’s the dji mic you can get the audio file separately from the mics receiver. If you are trying to add the audio to your higher quality video off the drones file just add the video with audio file and don’t make the lesser quality file visible.

[@SteveProcterPhotography]

I've been using a SOONFON mic since I bought the Mini 3 Pro, but this weekend it failed to record any audio at all. I did not notice until I got home, so very frustrating as we were away for 3 days at the beach. The last time I used it was just before the last FW update for the controller, so it seems DJI have changed something :( Is the DJI Mic still working ok after that FW update last week? Thanks

[@QCGUY]

I’m not updating anything I’m not forced to but haven’t had a problem were I am currently in firmware.

[@calangolima]

Hey! What the size of the files of screen recording? Could you split/separate de audio and video in this screen records?

[@QCGUY]

Haven’t paid attention to the size but it’s much smaller than that of the drone if shooting in 4K. Yes you can separate the audio 👍🏻

[@zakaryknox5589]

Can you attach mic to drone?? Or is it just recording near you?

[@QCGUY]

A mic attached to the drone would be a awful recording of buzzing props and wind.

[@stephenharrison1240]

Thank you for this - very helpful. But I have a dumb question, forgive me. Am I right in saying the audio recording will be on the micr sd card that you use with the controller but the video recording will be saved to the micr sd fitted to the drone? If so, how do you marry the 2 up? Or does the micro sd in the controller save both the video and audio files? If so, you don’t need 2 micro sd cards, right? Apologies again for the dumb question but I am a total beginner and don’t want to buy 2 sd cards when one will do. Thank you.

[@QCGUY]

You are screen recording on the controller using the sd card in the controller. Adding the mic will simply add your audio. If you want to put that audio to the higher quality video from the drone you put those together in post editing which you can find many videos on if needed. Hope that helps 👍🏻

[@TriRocks]

Will any or all of the mics work the same with DJI rc N1 using my Smart phone as the screen?

[@QCGUY]

You can use a mic in that case but I always just used a screen recorder app to capture the screen and my voice.

[@jozphotography3974]

interesting. so can you record the audio while screen recording on an sd card in controller and sync it up to the video from the drone itself? I ask as I would love to be able to record audio from paintball player while I am filming from above

[@QCGUY]

Yes you can sink it all up by placing both videos from the drone and controller and then detach video so it’s with the good stuff and do your cutting and editing from there. You can also record just a second audio straight to the mic itself and use that but it’s harder to sync that way depending on the video you’re syncing it too.

[@jozphotography3974]

@@QCGUY I appreciate it. Yeah worst case is I can use wireless mic to record right to it and then have the person clap their hands looking at drone so I can use that to sync up

[@QCGUY]

@@jozphotography3974 having a mic on the controller is so much nicer to sync everything up perfectly but yes the clap and sync works as an alternative. The only problem I have ran into with separate sound synchronization is it starts out in sync but records at a different rate and drifts ahead or behind making for what looks like a Godzilla episode out of china. 😆

[@jozphotography3974]

@@QCGUY ah ok. So it’s probably better I record audio on controller and just separate out the audio to go with drone video. What would be best way to get it synced up that way? Sorry for all the questions

[@QCGUY]

@@jozphotography3974 yes that’s how I was trying to spit it out in my first reply. 😂 Put two videos up at the same time on top of each other in editing software and then separate audio and delete the lower quality controller video. Do that first before doing all your cuts etc and it makes it so easy like the drone recorded it.

[@dennispittsley9718]

All those drones on the walls, like a hunting trophys

[@QCGUY]

Except they don’t collect dust like hunting trophies. The Nazgul is a bit dusty though.

[@Luggruff]

How do you sync it though? The drone footage is fixed at 24, 30 or 60 frames per second, while each screen recording ends up with a seemingly random frame rate. One I did now had 9 point something, and then the next had 18 point something... I tried finding places on the timeline where they are synced, but the footage before and after always is misaligned....

[@QCGUY]

Are you just syncing audio or are you syncing the video/audio from the controller. No matter what I shoot I just sync the audio/ video files from the controller to the video from the drone and they sync up from start to finish. Once everything is synced I then just delete the controller video keeping only the audio.

[@Lazzzymedia]

Thanks for the info but damn man for future reference speed it up or put time stamps. All we need to know is how to connect it to the controller. Make a short.

[@vince-n]

talking from experience i found this a right faff to get working...its not great because you cant even check that the audio recorded on the dji rc player because it just hangs...i prefer to use the mics standalone, hit the record button and do something on screen to signify I am recording audio (a bit like a clapperboard) which gives me the sync point for matching the audio. it also stores the wav files on the mic so i dont have to mess around with downloading the screen recording (which doesnt show up in the album btw)

Why why why can’t I record audio to the drone footage? And or why can’t I get a clean screen recording without the telemetry so it’s simpler to just have a video and audio together this is so frustrating 😩😡😩😡😩😡😩😡

[@QCGUY]

Adding it to the drone footage in post is pretty simple. If you’re try to avoid all the post editing it’s harder not doing it than it is doing it.

[@Schontaylor]

@@QCGUY on an iPhone? Wouldn’t it be better to just have a clean feed recording with audio on the remote?

[@QCGUY]

@@Schontaylor It’s low resolution so I’m not sure there’s much interest there. Autel records a video/voice file to your phone but you still have to match it to the drone footage for better quality. Again its very simple to match up to the better quality of the drone footage. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

[@Schontaylor]

@@QCGUY sure I’m just amazed there isn’t much more community wanting something surely relatively easy; have an algorithm/software that matches the voice recording on the remote to the video image on the drone when record is pressed. But I have these crazy simple ideas.

also can you do a video of the editing process? I can’t help but feel it’s not simple ie can’t do it in the remote, or in the phone (easily) 🙏👍👍

Hi there and Greetings from the Philippines - So, based on your video today and someone else about the actual Mini 3 Pro- I have decided and will order tomorrow the DJI MIC - with my DJI Mini 3 Pro RC yeah- so thanks a lot, you are responsible for me now spending another AU$525 hahahaha. but seriously- I will have my very fist Drone ever shortly and having said that- thank you so much for showing this to me- it is exactly what I needed and it's a huge help so I know what to do now setting this DJI MIC up with the RC Controller!! Because I am planing of using the DJI Mic in this exact way as you just demonstrated.....talking about what I see ( the Drone) and record both my voice and it is in sync with the video recorded on the screen . so this prompts me to ask a couple of questions please- 1- you say the screen recording is pretty crappy- what resolution DOES it record? is the screen recording in conjunction with the voice recording ) good enough to upload directly to KZbin ( is it like 1080P or only 720P ? ) 2- And what is the max size SD Card I can use for the Controller ? 3- Has DJI in the meantime addressed this issue with a firmware update, so that the DJI Mic being now recognised as a device? 4- Is there any specific video recording setting I should use, for when I am doing a demonstration on the ground... while the Drone is hovering (say 10-20 meters away) as I wish to be recoding myself, during my task demo on the ground ( obviously LOL) and when talk about what I am doing via the DJI Mic?? as said I am a total beginner and any and all advise is very much appreciated.

Great video just not quite correct. At 6:29 you tell that you can't see if a microphone is connected. That is not correct. If you have a microphone connected and you swipe 1 time from top to bottom you can see a headset sign in the upper right corner. Then you know that the controller has recognized the microphone. That is important. No further comments though, great video.
