Should the video be recording audio ?
This is my second Inspire and no audio on either aircraft.

No audio on any of the cameras that come with the Phantom or Inspire.

No audio on any of the cameras that come with the Phantom or inspire. Mostly what you would hear is the props anyway.

Just hadn't realised  with the first Inspire as too busy with other features etc.

You could always strap a voice recorder onto the bird...Then stitch the Audio/Video together in one of Adobe's products
But as mentioned the prop sound...It would be horrendous.

Yeah,

Its not a big deal for me just hadn't even thought about it.  Was just thinking about my GoPro and what that produces.

Well.. Is not a big deal unless you get their ground gimbal holder... (The new toy coming out) what then? If you are trying to make a video wih it you may want audio then.

Easy, they'll just have the app record from the phone/tablet mic.

Audio on an airborne camera is rather annoying.
Unless you are troubleshooting or need soundtrack spikes as benchmarks in the video, it's pretty worthless.
When using a camera that records audio (GoPro or BMPCC), the first thing that I usually do is mute the audio...

Well.. That would be great... Perhaps they can do the same for our birds... That way we can record our voices and such during flights... Without having to use a third party app (shou) it would be a great troubleshooting tool!

Before the Inspire came out I read a report that it was supposed to do this, transmit the video back to the bird to record in sync with the audio.   Would be a nice feature, maybe something they are already working on.
