Does DJI Spark Has a Built-in Microphone? Or no?

[Anthony]

Hello everyone, my name is Anthony and I am a new drone pilot.


I bought a DJI Spark two weeks ago, and I had flew spark couple of times. I haven't had any problems with it. But I have noticed that spark doesn't record audio.

So my question for you guys is.
Does the DJI Spark has a built-in microphone? Or no?
I'm just wondering because if it does. How can I activate it?


Any answers will be appreciated it,
Thank you,
Anthony[emoji106]

No.

No microphone on Spark.

However, there is a setting in the Go4 app that allows you to cache (poor quality video) to your device and an option to record audio to your device if you want to take audio notes during the flight to watch later.

This is helpful in post production to narrate a video later on.

I will look more into the Go4 app. Thank you Msinger and Spark317 for the reply.

So that means that, not even the Mavic or the Phantom series has a built-in microphone? I'm just wondering because in the future, when I am a better drone pilot. I will consider buying one of those.

Not a dumb question. Actually a very good question.

I didn't go for it yet, but I plan to by some noise-cancelling Bluetooth headset, what I could place on the person I am recording.

Anyone have experience with this approach? Or recommendation on which headset has a good distance and cancellation of the drone's noise?
