I think the problem you will have is that the H when it is running, drowns out audio with the motors. Your best bet is to record the audio track separately, then add it to your clip. Most video I do with land based video gear, I record audio with a stand alone and then sync them or add what I want later.
You could set a Zoom device near what you want to film and use the sound from there. To be able to sync, start recording video with audio on the H CG03+ turned on first. Have the H sitting near where you want to video and have the Zoom recording as well. Create a klack sound, a click, or what ever you want as your starting point that is crisp and sharp. This sound will be heard by both the Zoom and the CG03+ at the same time. You now have a start point for your sync. Then fire up the H's blades and lift off.
It's done the same way it is with a studio production. If the sound is not as it should be, you have the actors dub over what is not heard clearly. Plus, the use of a drone as your main camera would never be done in a production with spoken lines. The drone is used as you would use a helicopter or an airplane, for B roll. If you want height, then you use a static crane or jib. The best thing to do if you want to do any production, is to first create a story board. I have a family member in the industry that is a DP ( director of photography ), and the things he has taught me, I would have had to pay huge bucks for in a school and tons on set as an A( assistant )DP until the DP feels you are ready. Sound is always an issue, but that is why each person is specialized in what they do. I have a person that edits footage, and one that records sound. As a person that does videography, I need to be 100% focused on the shot, and not side-tracked with sound. There are a pile of cheap video editing software companies that put out average editing programs, but most have pretty good audio software with it. CyberLink is a good example of a company that offers a lot for a little dollar investment.
No, I was suggesting it as an idea for modding because they are quite small and can be USB powered.
Still won't work. Can't eliminate the sound of the H even with a shotgun. I'm sorry, it just won't happen. Only way is to still add in your sound after, it's done all the time.
The best example of people not noticing is this. A ship in outer space can not bank as it is portrayed in a movie, and then there is the sound of a space ship. These two things are impossible. There is no air in space so you can not maneuver like it is flying through the air, and as there is no air, there is no sound. In movies we just accept that the ships can fly like a regular plane, and we expect to hear engine sound. Now there is another way to get your sound. Buy a waterproof mic and have someone that surf record the sound and add them in where you need. OR......just use an existing sound byte of waves. There are thousands of them out there for free.
