The reality is if there was a microphone on the Phantom 3, you wouldn't be able to hear "people talking" unless the P3 was in very close proximity to the people, even IF the P3 was completely silent. And even then, the quality of the sound would be horrible.
You want to "record what's going on around you while flying."? You mean what's going on around YOU or your Phantom?
This is exactly why on-camera mic's on even DSLR's are rarely used in professional productions. The quality is awful. They always, and I mean ALWAYS use an external microphone of some sort, even if the external mic is a shotgun mic mounted to the top of the DSLR.
Editing out the buzz in post is nowhere near as easy as you make it seem. Think of the hundreds of professionally-produced aerial video's you've seen. How many of these included the sound of the drone? I can't recall a single one. Not one.
In the end, though, the question is moot since none of DJI's cameras have sound capability, and I don't think most people miss it at all.
>>Without having to cut and splice from multiple devices.<<
Have you even edited in a recent version of a non-linear digital editing program? Using terms like cutting and splicing remind me of systems from the 1990's and earlier.
Dropping in a sound track (vocal, music, etc) into an existing video is EASY to do - almost painless.
So you don't own a phone that can record? Ok, even the most rudimentary of portable recorders will be of superior quality to a microphone that DJI could have squeezed onboard the P3. In fact, you can buy a stand alone miniature recorder and attach it to the P3 airframe if you want, although again, I can't imagine why anyone would want to do that.
To each his/her own poison, as they say. |
