so ive already placed an order for a zoom f1-lp because it looks like itll do the trick but i figured id check with the pros around here as well in case there are better options i havent thought of yet.
one of the main reasons i picked up a mavic 2 pro recently is to film during mountain bike rides. that in itself has proven challenging since im used to riding with minimal gear (just gopro previously) so a large backpack has made life interesting while riding. but its worth it to bring the drone along. aaaaanyway....
i want to get audio of the rider that im filming and obviously the drone doesnt do that, nor would it make sense. i could record audio with the dji app, but im not gonna be near the rider that is being filmed, so it isnt really relevant audio.
i thought of the lav mic + phone on rider option, but getting friends to load up some kinda recording app, pray that it records properly, etc. isnt really feasible. plus having to get the audio files from them afterwards.
so the small recorder plus lav seems to be the best route and the zoom f1 seems to fit that bill well. i am sure ill need to get a better mic, big fluffy dead cat to kill wind, etc. but ill tackle that when the time comes. i am a little worried about getting levels right, but im hoping a little trial and error will work.
so yeah, any advice or tips/tricks would definitely be appreciated. just to give an idea of the type of shot im wanting to get audio for, heres my recent ride in Sedona. drone bit starts around 50 seconds in.
