    Recording audio during your next flight is a great way to add commentary to your video. It’s been a bit of a challenge accomplishing this with all 3 of the Smart Controllers due to the modified version of Android that DJI is using. We have been working hard for the last few months to solve this problem and have finally cracked the code and designed 3 different microphone options that allow you to record audio on top of your next flight, so you can create some awesome footage with your commentary added. Thanks for watching and please let me know if you have any questions!

    Hi Rick, thanks for the video, and thanks for making the Drone Valley Wireless Microphone kit. I received mine a couple days ago and have been testing it. I really like the form factor and charging case and lack of wires. The voice quality is very good. It helps volume wise to have the mic as close to my mouth as possible, but the audio is good and can be amplified in post processing effectively if needed. One point about the video, my DJI RC Pro controller does in fact have a speaker in it, so the screen recordings play audio when I review them on the RC Pro. Did you mean to say that the RC Pro doesn't have a microphone, but the old RC Smart Controller does? Maybe my RC Pro unit, which is only a couple weeks old is different, but I thought I'd seen other references to it having a speaker like mine. Thanks again for the videos and great products. Your wireless mic is almost an order of magnitude less than DJIs, which is super helpful to people like me who aren't doing a lot of high-end vlogging or interviewing but want to play around with a mic.
    Best regards,

But I came across this video wanted to say thank you. What a great idea for the wireless option. Very nice that’s a very nice product.

  • @DanielCrist
    @DanielCrist Рік тому

    I'm trying to choose a drone model -- and accessories (like your cool little wireless mic), and audio recording is important to me. However, I'd prefer if I had a clear video straight from the controller that I could quickly post to social media without having to pull the audio from the cached file and layer it over the full-res file from the drone.
    I've heard unfortunately that the DJI-RC (Gen 3) can do *_screen recording_* at 1080p but _only _*_caches_* at 480p. Can you confirm that for me? And can you tell me what resolution the DJI RC-N1 (Gen 1) caches at? Is it also 720p, like the screen recording for it?
    And are you *_certain_* that 720 is the screen recording resolution for all phones? To me it would make more sense that it would screen record at the same resolution that the phone does, and my phone's screen recording feature is 2400*1080. Otherwise why wouldn't you just use your phone's built-in screen recording instead of DJIs, even if it takes an extra few seconds?
    Thanks for your help, and I hope to buy one of these mics soon!

    Hi Rick, thank you for the great information. Recently purchased the DJI Mini 3 Pro and almost exclusively use it to record train videos. My question on the wireless mic is, since 30 ft off either side of the rails belongs to the Railroad and we try to be responsible railfanners... If I wear the wireless mic on my lapel, with it's noise cancelling feature, is it going to cancel out the train sounds? I know trains produce VERY loud sound, and it may be just fine on the lapel. But I thought I could perhaps pin the mic to one of my old tripods and stand it closer to the rails. But if you think the mic would pick up the trains sound while pinned to the lapel, that would be my 1st choice.

    Back in the day which I fly my Mavic 2 Zoom it captured video and pictures in the drone. Another audio stream came down and was in my iPad Mini 3. The big question was how in the heck to get it out of the iPad Mini. You would think they would just have it where you could download it directly into your computer when you plugged it in. But NO, You had to go into the DJI software and download it into the iPad. That was about the silliest thing I have ever heard of. It took me a long time to figure it out since I had to look at countless You Tube videos.
    If there was user groups around that could show you.
    I still use my iPad mini 3 but hope some day run across a DJI Smart Controller for the Mavic 2 Zoom.
    I'm looking for fall to come to South Texas and we can get away from this 100+ temperature.

We have these built for us and I can assure you that the cable and the connector alone would cost you more than $2 so they can't be functional.

    Hello Rick, looks like you’ve added the newer RC controller at the end. It’s pretty brief and I was hoping that you’d go into more detail and even show a brief sample with the audio over the screen recording. I tried with a wireless mic and hooked to the controller’s Host USB-C port using DJI’s 3.5mm to usb-c adapter. I also have both TRS and TRRS connectors and nothing works. Screen recording is fine just no audio. Could you throw some light, maybe something I missed?
    Edited: sorry, I should have waited till your video ended to make my comment. Looks like you did get audio on your screen recording with all combinations of mic input. Guess I’ll have to buy another mic or some direct connection bypassing DJI’s adapter

    Hi Rick, was just watching this video and got to say I am a little confused I guess. I have been doing screen recordings every time I fly for about three years or so by using the pull down menu and pressing the record button on the original sc. This does a screen recording with audio, as long as the audio cashe is on, and I just checked some old files to make sure but worked fine with go4, pilot and fly apps. This is an actual screen recording and shows everything you see on the screen so maybe this is what I am missing, not being the view from the drone? The mic kit still looks interesting as it could be worn by the subject if not the one doing the recording if it has a decent range on it.

    • @Dronevalley
      @Dronevalley  Рік тому

      Thanks for the post and the screen recording only works to record audio on the original Smart Controller. None of the other Smart Controllers include an internal mic so you'll only capture the video portion without adding the external mic. Even with the original Smart Controller, the audio from the internal mic is pretty bad and these options allow you to greatly improve the quality. I hope that helps, Rick

  • @danreynolds8028
    @danreynolds8028 Рік тому

    Hi Rick, I'm on the fence about which mike setup to buy. The TRS mike with the USB adapter sounds loudest to me by far. I like the idea of the wireless mike but it just didn't seem to have as much punch to me, in fact it seemed the quietest of the 3 options. Ok, I have a few questions. First, I prefer not to have the mike adapter dangling around below the controller. If I were to velcro it to the underside of the smart controller with the TRS port facing towards me when holding it, is the cord long enough to plug into the USB port without straining it? Also, it would be nice if the USB plug was a right angle type so the cord would hang downward and out of the way.
    Second question: Is it possible to use a USB "Y" cable so as to use the mike and an external battery at the same time? This would allow the onboard battery to last much longer.
    Finallly, how long is the cable on the TRS mike? To me it doesn't need to be very long. Just long enough to plug in to the adapter and clip on to my shirt with maybe a little excess. Great job as usual and thanks for any advice!!

    • @Dronevalley
      @Dronevalley  Рік тому

      Dan, the wireless is the best audio quality but is lower on volume because it provides active noise-cancelling to knock down the wind and background noise. You can easily bump this up in the editing. The other mics use a passive noise cancelling and are slightly louder. The cable to the adapter is short (about 3 inches so it might not work well with the Velcro. I would suggest either the wireless version or the dedicated USB-C unless you already have a good TRS lapel mic and then go with the adapter. We have all of them in stock and can send them along when you decide which one you like. Thanks for the support! Rick

    I'd like to know this for times where I have a subject that i might want to record with my drone would have different audio that I might have from my controlling position and am looking for a wireless mic that can do maybe 50-150 meters but more is obviously preferable.

    • @Dronevalley

      Our wireless mic uses Bluetooth for connection and is good for about 30 feet of distance. That's plenty of range for this type of recording since you're holding the controller. There are other mics on the market that use 2.4 gHz and provide greater distance but they are much more expensive and we haven't tested many of them. I hope that helps, Rick

    Great video.
    1) today is 10/25/22. Is the wireless mic still working with the DJI RC (Mini 3 Pro)
    2) When DJI RC does screen record, it will also record the telemetry as well? Can you screen record without the telemetry. (I guess this is the difference between a cache and a screen record.
    3) According to DJI and multiple upset UA-camrs, the screen record is only 480P, and is fixed and cannot be changed through firmware. Sorry UA-camrs who like to record and post your telemetry.
    4) This is a really strange limitation for the DJI-RC. On the RC-N1 controller screen recording is higher res. Please comment on this issue.

    • @Dronevalley
      @Dronevalley  Рік тому

      Thanks for the post and the wireless mic is working fine with all of the latest versions of firmware on all of the Smart Controllers. The screen recording is a little frustrating that the resolution is so low but it was initially set for 1080p and it was only in later versions that it was lowered. The reasons is that it's higher on the RC-N1 is that its governed by your external device (phone/tablet) and not limited by the internal Android operating system on the DJI RC. The way around this is to simply blend the audio from the screen recording with the video from the drone for the best of both worlds. I hope that helps. Rick

    Hi Rick. I just watched this video and I was particularly interested in your experience with the USB C lavalier mic and the RC Controller. I’m using a USB C lavalier mic with my RC Controller and I’m having a noise interference issue when I turn the power on to my Mini 3 Pro. There is no noise on my screen recording until I power on the drone (props not spinning). Then I get a loud buzzing noise just like you heard when you have a poor mic connection. Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Lee
    P.S. I sent you an email with a screen recording of the issue and info on the mic that I’m using. Thanks again.

      Hello @LeeANear, I am having the same issue you described... I have the RC Pro and the Mini 3 Pro. When I use a USB-C lav mic, I get interference when the Mini 3 Pro powered on. When I power down the drone, the interference stops. I am struggling to find a mic, wired or wireless, that doesn't interfere with the screen recording on the RC unit. Have you found a solution?

    • @Dronevalley
      @Dronevalley  Рік тому

      Thanks for the post. It uses the 2.4 Ghz frequency and will provide about 100 feet of signal transmission. It's really designed for a closer broadcast since you'll actually be holding the controller but can be used for video clips as well as long as your phone/tablet uses a USB-C connection. I hope that helps and let me know if you have other questions. Rick

      John, thanks for the post and unfortunately not every USB-C mic we tested worked with the Smart Controllers and that's why we designed the ones we offer. Even though the USB-C port is a standard configuration, every company can choose how they implement it and if they install a specific driver in the OS to accommodate a given accessory. We spent a number of months finding the right USB-C mic and wireless mic to work with the Smart Controller and offer them all on our website. I can assure you that ours are tested and work well. I hope that helps and thanks again for your post.

    How do you pair the Drone Valley Wireless microphone with my DJI mini pro 3 ?

    • @Dronevalley
      @Dronevalley  Рік тому

      The mic is paired automatically when you power it up. You can simply insert the receiver into the USB-C port under the protective cover on the remote (not the one you're using for charging) and power up the mic. Start a screen recording and the audio will be added to the video you're recording on the controller. These files are saved under the "Movie" folder on the remote or SD card in the remote. I hope that helps and thanks for your business!

On how many different types of mikes have you verified that with? Any? As far as I can see, trying to make microphones that appear to be recognized by the software actually work in recording audio is a long, frustrating, time-wasting trip down flakiness lane. DJI's tech people seem to be as clueless or as confused as hell about EVERY aspect of recording audio on the Mini 3 Pro and no one dishing out simplistic assurances of how simple it is seems to give all the instructions to get it working.

You'll need a USB-C adapter (extender) like this one - amzn.to/42sLqoZ to make that work. I'm sorry you're having issues but it works as designed and you're trying to use it with something else.

As long as you can contact the manufacturer, you can have anything made with your name on it.
    Anyway, the only two things I can say about the wireless is
    1. it IS a really good mic if it's an Adoson duplicate.
    2. Be careful bout the USB C connector as it might come loose and not work anymore.
    Be extra careful when unplugging it. I am meticulous about my things and the adapter
    still came loose after 2 months.

      Thanks for the post and you analogy is a little flawed. There are a LOT of companies that "clone" existing gear by simply putting their logo on it, but we actually design the gear we sell. We have a group of Engineers on the Drone Valley team and start from scratch with all of the products we produce. In this case, the USB-C connection (and drivers in the OS) that DJI has implemented is odd and the main reason you were having so many issues finding a USB-C mic that worked. With our product we went through 5 revisions to finally create one that works on ALL of the smart controllers, and works really well. It may look the same as others but has a few advantages the others may not offer because a lot of companies skinny down the features to lower their price. For example, we have a pretty advanced noise-cancelling tech built in that will really knock down wind noise. Other models require a windscreen and have no noise control. We also use a larger battery in the mic than others so you can record longer on a single charge. We're also a small U.S. based company that will be here if you ever have questions or issues with the gear we offer. I know it's easy to assume that since a product looks similar that it's the same, but there are a lot of differences under the hood with the gear we design.
