It's dangerous out there! I don't care if I get killed while I'm out doing what I love, but I want the driver who kills me to be held accountable (or what passes for accountable according to the court).

Which video camera do you guys recommend?
Need it to be able to record for an hour at least.



Answer
GoPro Hero 3,its a cheap Camera for sports and its the newest GoPro yet!Its the world most popular and best versatile camera that you can either Mount it on your Helmet or Handlebar(Just need the parts for the Mounting).And the best bid is,in order for you to mount a GoPro onto anywhere you wish,you'll be putting the Camera itself into some kind of cover which is completely Water Proof(If you were unlucky enough to fall into a River or something) and the inside.The camera itself once protected by the case could withstand a falling impact of maximum 600+ Meter.

How do you setup a Drift or GoPro camera to record aviation communications?

Is there a cord that can go into either camera to patch into my headset? What is your aviation camera setup? If you can be specific and give company names or websites to products.


Answer
It depends on your requirements and what radio you are using.

The Drift and GoPro have no audio-input jack. If you place them close enough to a speaker so they can record the audio, it is likely they will not capture the video you want.

I like the FlightCam 360 for video (I know - not HD, but if you go with a GoPro or Drift, you can do the following, too)... Capture your audio with an audio recorder (Zoom H2) connected to the auxiliary audio output of the radio (hope is has one). When you edit, merge and synch the video and audio. This way, the video and audio capture devices do not need to be in the same place. It takes an extra synch step later, but the quality of the audio and video will be lots better and provides more flexibility.

I think the GoPro sticks out too much. For a single stand-alone extreme sport cam I like the Contour HD helmet cams better for low-profile.
