USB-C mic to record audio with screen recording

[lomposlapos]

Looking for a USB-C mic that enables audio recording while I am doing screen recording on RC Pro. I do not care much about the quality of audio, it is for internal voices notes only. Preferably compact, travel-friendly, no-frills, single-piece solution.

No usable audio from RC Pro.

Has anyone been able to capture usable audio on the RC Pro while screen recording? I wad disappointed that DJI removed the microphone when redesigning the Smart Controller. Memory management issues aside, this is hardware and st first, the change seemed logical. They realized capturing audio...

Thanks for the links.
I am looking for a non-wireless, non-wired mic, but a mic that directly plugs in to USB-C socket. Audio quality is not important, simplicity is.

Take a look a the Movo X1-Mini (Amazon link). It has both 3.5mm and USB-C connectors. It also has microphone covers that will reduce wind noise when recording outdoors.

You don't need to limit yourself to USB-C only microphones. There are plenty of cheap USB-C to audio adapters on Amazon

This is way too big.

imagine a lav mic that is going directly (without wires) to the USBC instead of jacket or shirt collar. That's what I'm looking for.

I bought this one last year. Works just like you want.

Hang on.
I have a DJI RC Pro that came with my Mavic 3T and when screen recording, it has a built in microphone and I am able to make audio notes while screen recording.
I think the microphone is on one side of the data ports on the bottom edge of the remote.
Audio quality isnt great - i am not sure if its the audio bitrate of the screen recording application, or the microphone itself.

- Actually i just checked. AAC Mono 96kbps so audio isnt being recorded at modern CD quality, but still a higher bitrate than we used to call a good music quality mp3 (64kbps per channel) so I am not sure.
It could be the recording program is recording at a higher bitrate than the digital audio stream coming in from the microphone.

Here is a recording of me testing the drone when i first got it to see how the thermal camera worked a couple of days ago at our city new years eve beach party.

I don't know about that. This is from DJI website. Doesn't mention anything about a mic onboard. Maybe Australia gets a different model? Sure would like to see a pic of the bottom of your controller

Pictures showing model number and what i think is the microphone holes.
Also model number and this came with a mavic 3 enterprise thermal

Ah. I bought mine about 3 years ago. It's a model 510. Yours is 510B. Nor does mine have the 4 small holes. Odd the DJI website doesn't mention the microphone either
