A videography drone can communicate with a microphone device. The videography drone can receive spatial information and audio data from a remote microphone device (e.g., a remote tracker, a mobile device running a drone control application, and/or a standalone audio recording device separate from the videography drone without drone control functionalities). The videography drone can utilize the spatial information to navigate the videography drone to follow the remote microphone device. The videography drone can stitch a video segment captured by its camera with an audio segment from the received audio data to generate an audio/video (A/V) segment. The stitching can be performed by matching spatial or temporal information (e.g., from the received spatial information) associated with the audio segment against spatial or temporal information associated with the video segment.
