Next Friday (6 December), weather and airspace permitting, I hope to be able to take my Mavic 2 Pro to Ironbridge in Shropshire to film the demolition of the four cooling towers of the power station.
Aside from the busy location, 350 m exclusion zone, probable police helicopter enforcing the exclusion zone and other drones in the area, I'm also looking for some advice on audio.
Obviously the M2P cannot record sound, but missing the explosion of the towers being detonated will be a bit of a negative in the footage.
What would be the best way to capture the audio and synchronise it to the video? I may have to record from the ground, but am mindful of the potential for other sounds to intrude on the footage, such as people, which would make it obvious that it wasn't recorded in exactly the same location.
Thoughts and advice would be appreciated. Would also be interested to hear from anyone else who has used a drone to film large-scale demolitions.
