Out West with a DJI Air 3 in Shenandoah, Baton Rouge, LA in 4K

JD doesn't fly out west from the Shenandoah subdivision in Baton Rouge, LA much.

But this was just a short test flight of his DJI Air 3 quadcopter to try out a cheap USB microphone and an ND 64 neutral density filter for the camera.

The $30 microphone was for narration, and it performed so badly, JD scrapped the audio track (it was a Saramonic LavMicro-U connected to the RC-2 controller via USB-C.

In case you want to know which mike to avoid).

It severely overdrove the audio circuit and has no level adjustment or attenuator.

The DJI ND 64 filter required a shutter speed of 1/100s with the f/1.7 fixed-aperture 1x camera lens under a sunny sky).
