How to Record Cockpit/ATC Audio with GoPro or Camcorder

In this short video Len Costa shows you how he records cockpit and ATC audio on his GoPro Hero 2 including the audio cable he uses and where to buy it.

This very cable CAN be used to record cockpit and ATC audio on ANY camcorder or video camera that has a 3.5mm (⅛ inch) Microphone Input plug so it’s not exclusive to only recoding with GoPro’s.

However, this cable WILL NOT work with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch! No Android devices were available for testing so no comments can be made on compatibility with this audio cable.

Quick link to the cable here: StuckMicAvCast.com/audiocable

***CORRECTION: Cable plugs into airplane headphone port, not microphone port***

***UPDATED FEB 10, 2013*** Due to cable malfunctions with the original product seen on Aircraft Spruce we now recommend a NEW cable that you’ll be directed to when clicking StuckMicAvCast.com/audiocable for more information

SMAC041 – Flying Resolutions, Tailwheel Adventures, and the 787

Glad to have you back for Episode #41! Carl has some exciting news to share about learning to fly the Airbus A320 at a new airline including some stories about jumping out of the airplane in his water ditching class. Also, we’ve had a temporary co-host restructuring – Victoria has been extremely busy as the US Team Leader in charge of organizing and assisting with Women Fly It Forward events throughout the United States that she needed more time to dedicate to those pursuits. While we surely do miss her spunky, ginger perspective on all things flying, please welcome our friend and listener Sean Moody as the interim co-host!

Listen in to learn more about Sean, how he got started flying, his background, and even his new volunteer position with Stuck Mic AvCast! We’re very excited to have him on board not only as an interim co-host but to help out behind in the scenes in an effort to assist us in delivering more quality content for your enjoyment. Don’t forget to Follow Sean on Twitter.
