Plane Spotting at Ardmore Airport 🚁 Auckland, NZ

After almost a year, I finally went out for a decent day of plane spotting.
Or shall I say 'helicopter spotting'? Ardmore Airport is like, helicopter bonanza! So many and so close!
My new FDR-AX53 held up pretty good with the standard on board microphone - wind was about 30km/h. You can hear it, but it's not that big of a nuisance. I do want an external microphone at some point though, but I was surprised with the wind noise suppression! Wasn't expecting that!
I'll release some videos in the coming days/weeks with extended versions of these beautiful helicopters!
Oh, and make sure to watch the last scene of this video - it's stunning!!
