Hey folks!

I could be the only weirdo on this forum talking about shooting handheld with Inspire 2, my apology for that
Have a look at this video:


I noticed that there is a strange and vivid digital noise when the camera/sound recorder gets close to the drone.
It could be these "sonars" for obstacle detection.

So ... yeah, that's another reason why recording a clean sound on set could be ... impossible?  
Looking forward to OSMO 2 with X5S, but I don't think it will be released anytime soon.

You take requests ( 2:24 in the video )  , How bout "Free Bird "  by   Lynard  Skynard
edit :  but to be serious I think It is like Marks says, it may be the sonar ( VPS ) try shutting it off.  I have heard this  noise while recording before myself .

good luck

The noise starts at 2:04

Try turning the sonar off?

I just looked myself, it seems you don't have the option to disable VPS in the DJI 4 app, maybe this will appear in a future FW update. If you really need to shoot from the ground with audio, maybe a drone was not the tool for the job?

I agree.
Inspire 2 is not a camera for ground filmmakers.
DJI lied in their promotional video.

In the promotional video they cheated by mounting the I2 on a "board" so the sensors would turn off when it was on the ground. If you look at the "making of the circle" you can see them using it mounted on the board in some places.
