Audio quality is so important. Steven Spielberg and George Lucas have both been quoted on the subject. Spielberg said 'Sound is half the picture' and Lucas mad a similar comment 'Sound is half the experience in seeing a film'. Spielberg has also said that an audience will forgive poor image quality but never bad audio. You made a convincing demonstration on how effective close mic'd audio is, and I appreciate the work you put into making it easy for Smart Controller users to get decent sound quality. I'll just add that when I come across a KZitem channel where the presenter uses onboard audio from a camera six foot away from him, and makes things worse by using an ultra live room with lots of hard reflective surfaces, I ALWAYS stop the video and go look for someone who takes sound seriously.

By the way, I got the new GoPro 360 max and found it also doesn't have a mic input which sucks when you have the camera on a helmet mount. I used your dongle in the USB C port and what do you know, it works too!! I don't see any other cheap alternatives to get a mic on the new GoPro max, would be nice if you did a video about it to let people know this works.

THANK YOU! I recently got the DJI Smart Control which I love, but the audio was HORRIBLE. I use my drone in my line of work and some of my videos have gone viral, real shame that the last one had bad audio quality since it was my first time using the new control and I didn't know it would have that issue. I did my research and found nothing until I found this video. Such a small price compared to the cost of a drone and control, I am so happy I found your video. I got a lapel mic on Amazon with an adapter and did some tests, definitely a world of difference for the better. Thank you again!

Correct me if I'm wrong. The DJI GO4 app does not work on the DJI Mavic Air 2s. And it cannot be successfully installed. Many articles are out there about this. DJI Mavic Air 2s is my drone. The DJI GO4 app does have two separate settings for video and audio capture: "Cache During Video Shooting" and "Record Audio with Video Cache. Is there a mistaken assumption related to the Drone Valley Audio Kit, or is it the software that currently runs on the DJI Mavic Air 2s?

(Friday, May 6, 2022) Please see my previous post on this subject. Yesterday, I received instructions from Rick as follows: "To record audio on the Smart Controller you'll need to make sure you have both "video caching" and "audio caching" enabled in the settings." Although this sounded like there were two separate settings to look for, I found only one setting. In the settings menu pages, I found it under the heading, "Device". The under "Device", the sub-heading was titled "Sound". Under "Sound", at the very bottom of the page, there is a single toggle titled "Screen Recording with Audio". I toggled it to the "On" state. I spent the day making a few test flights. I was disappointed. Here's the audio setup: I used one of my trusty lavalier mics (checked it and I know it works) and I used the new Drone Valley 'Smart Controller Audio Kit' for recording my voice. The 'Audio Kit' has a male USB-C connector which plugs into the one DJI Smart Controller's USB-C receptacle. I plugged in my lavaliere mic's TRS plug into the receptacle on the body of the 'Audio Kit'. During my flights, I tried in vain to get a sound track recorded on the SD card of the Smart Controller. The info I received yesterday was "... you'll have to use the audio from the Smart Controller and the video from the drone for your clips." After each flight, I grabbed the .MP4 video file from the DJI Air 2S micro-SD card. I took it to my video editor on my computer. I assumed the video file would include a sound track. It did not. Trying a second lavaliere mic did not solve the problem. I assume the 'Smart Controller Audio Kit' was tested by the engineers before is was shipped. Is there any specific, detailed help out there? I've run out of ideas!!

I have had my DJI Mavic 2 Zoom for just over a year. I remember narrating the flights I flew and things went good for about 3-4 flights and something got changed. I am using the original controller with an Apple iPad-4. I have the software set to NOT erase the cache. I have the cache set to 4gig's. After each flight I will land and go into my iPad Mini-4 and check for video the flight has or supposed to capture. There is NONE. I can download the pictures and video from the drone to my iPad Mini-4 OK but there is no audio from the drone. I cannot remember what has changed so video and narration is kept on my iPad after each flight. I don't know if there was an update from DJI that changed it or a setting I made in the DJI Go-4 app that has changed. I really just want to narrate the flights but so far nothing. Anyone has a suggestion.

(Thursday, May 5, 2022) I have the new DJI smart controller that has its own screen. I've never tried the older model of smart controller that requires a phone attached as the controller screen. This new controller doesn't use any kind of smart phone. Other folks on this forum are referring to their "phones" as part of the solution. I purchased the Drone Valley audio adapter kit. I plugged a lavaliere mic with a TRS connector into it. I connected the USB-C plug into the port on my (newer) DJI smart controller. I chose not to use the audio-out receptacle of the Drone Valley audio adapter kit to monitor my voice, as it was not required. I switched on the 'record screen' function of the smart controller and talked my way through a 10 minute flight which the drone was also recording. After landing, I removed the SD card from my DJI Mavic Air 2S and removed the SD card from this new DJI smart controller. There was no sound track on either of those SD cards. What am I doing wrong? Or should I be on another forum discussing just the newer DJI smart controller?

Bob, thanks for the post and I'm happy to help. To record audio on the Smart Controller you'll need to make sure you have both "video Caching" and "audio caching" enables in the settings. This will record your flight footage and the audio to the SD card in your smart controller. The challenge is that the video recorded will be a lower quality than on the drone so you'll have to use the audio from the Smart Controller and the video from the drone for your clips. Give that a try and let me know how you make out. We appreciate your business. Rick

Thanks for the post and I'm not sure why the mic is not a better quality. I guess that unlike a phone, where you're using the mic every time you use the device, with the Smart Controller you're only using it for voice-over recording. That's not something that everyone does and was only implemented after the unit was initially released through firmware. We developed this adapter to help improve the audio and it allows you to use an external mic to record better audio.
