How to record audio from drone

You can't .. all you'd hear is the motors and props.

Drone is not equipped to record anything and it is not equipped with a microphone.

You can attach a pocket size audio recorder to the drone. The recordings, however, will be distorted beyond repairable level due to a prop wash pressure and wind.

As others have noted, the drone is not equipped with a microphone, however there is a feature that allows one to record audio from your controlling smartphone to the low-res downlinked video stored on that device. This can be handy of you want to narrate your flight or capture ambient audio of your surroundings. You can strip the audio from the downlinked video and add it to the high-res version in post.





Here's an example:

Like what ex machina mentioned you can use the cache recorder.

Oh, you are not talking about recording the sound of the drone during flight, right? You want to record people talking on the ground while filming them with drone flying above? That's simple: set the audio recorder close to gathered people. You'll have to sync audio track with video in post production.

Surely using any other real camera or mobile is better for that...

Hello there JJ78. Thank you for reaching out and for the inquiry. DJI drones are not able to record audio as they do not have a mic and if you are able to the only sound you can only record the sound of the motors and the propellers of the said drone. To record audio you need to edit the said video and add audio to the finished product. Thank you and fly safe always.

They don't have microfone and I think is a bit useless "feature", because you will only record the sound of the motors and propellers! You can add SFX and music...
