Grand Finale In N Myrtle Beach

I was mic'ed up on the beach while shooting to give the presentation a more realistic feel.
Awesome. I was wondering how you captured the sound so perfect. Last night I did not leave our home since we can usually see several fireworks but a lot more sound from a nearby seaside resort area opposite to our ocean view. less than a mile from our home . I ended up doing my first night flight on my mavic 4 pro, flew at 393' and captured great fireworks display from the resort area; the 6x and 2.5x zoom lenses were more than adequate to capture the action despite the distance, however I was missing the sound. In hindsight I should have used my R0DE mics to capture the sound however being still on my old windows 7 desktop, I have no way to mix the sounds. I'm waiting to get the new Apple Mac Pro when its available (I'll use it for AI) later this year; then I'll be fully equipped; until then I'm stuck to audio-less videos.

Thank God for background noise right? 😊

I'm sure you're 4 Pro footage looked fantastic.

I couldn't wait for them to come out so I could trade in 3 Pro but with DJI not selling here in the states I was concerned that the firmware may not operate properly and they may not provide any warranty from bootlegs off of Adorama. I was also bummed that that it came with 28mm focal length with no wide angle option. 28mm is not ideal for RE photography.

Soooo, I guess I'll wait for now to see how things unfold with regard to buying one. I shot this with Air 3s @ 3x. Air was soupy and smoky but I think it did a decent job for this specific purpose.

I'm not sure if its great, I'm no expert and the attached video is probably boring without sound for anyone; only added as a response to your question.
