Hello!
Disclaimer:
I am aware of the regulations and laws in a lot of countries regarding civilian rights to record both audio and video. I am not interested in legal advice or destructive comments. Thanks in advance.
So, have you successfully mounted a shotgun microphone/stereo/omni and if so, how did you do it or where did you find the appropriate gear for it?
I figure as much that it wouldn't be worth jacking in a microphone with the live stream, nor the recording. I am thinking in terms of "bugging" the drone, and keeping it light. I mean, anyone could tape a recorder with internal or line input microphone which you could either shotgun toward camera direction or stereo, if you create some distance between the microphone and the drone body. This is why I believe the shotgun is a much better approach. But hey, I've never tried it and I bet some of you have, so please, share your ideas or blueprints!
P.S To clarify:
I am asking for solutions people either tested or have seen making it possible to record audio on a phantom drone. I am NOT asking about the physics of waves trough matter. I am interested in products, blueprints of a product, images, links, descriptions of ideas that worked, or didn't work.
I am a cameraman and I am using these microphones on a daily basis, I am not certain however if this question has been asked before and solved, which would save me the trouble of creating one myself.
Awesome, thanks for your reply!
