I have an analogue geprc smart 35 (and i absolutely love it) but i have not been able to find any documentation at all on this vtx, does anyone know if it's possible to add a microphone to this?

i don't know the answer, but why on earth would you want a microphone on this thing? i can give you an accurate audio description of your future recordings:

wwwwwhhhhHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I may be the outlier but, I prefer motor noise to 98% of the music people put on their drone videos.

That's motor noise recorded through a mounted HD camera though, I think OP is asking about transmitting the audio through the VTX. I can't speak for everyone, but listening to the motor noise through headphones while flying would be distracting.

I find the throttle feedback helpful, I've noticed if i fly away a bit of a distance the audio delay on the throttle is very distracting

LoL you must be new to FPV

That wheee where wheeee will make you a better pilot but you’d never know that :)

I also agree with the other guy

I’d rather hear motor noise that shitty copy right free music that everyone uses.

I’d recommend everyone fly with a mic there is a reason mr Steele flies with a mic.

youre right :( i must learn more about the wheee-whee-symphonee-neees whats your favorite wheee-band and why is it 2400kv?

on a serious note: i understand how it could help, but i doubt that it helps as much as some people are implying it is, even if some known pilot uses it lol

This is the first time I've heard of this. Interested in trying and not sure where to start. Any good tutorials on micing up a quad?

There's a reason Taliban cuts peoples arms off too. DVR sound quality is quite horrible, I'd rather not hear that one either.

I’d rather not watch dvr at all

I’d rather hear the motors during flying which what the subject is about

Unless it’s a long range build, you don’t really need it
