Great video, thanks for sharing. Another solution I’ve recently discovered is the NFlightcam cockpit kit for smartphones. You can get it in SA but it’s not cheap. The major benefit of this kit is you can connect your headset splitter cable directly to your smartphone and then any audio is automatically synced to the video your record on your phone without any editing required. And then no need for the separate audio recorder as well. Smart phones are typically not as good as the top GoPros quality wise but these days I find it close enough for everyday content. Safe flying!

What settings do you apply to your Go Pro for filming your cockpit and outside references ? I find it really tricky, because Either the outside image would be overexposed or the instrument would stay in the dark...

Keep up the great work

Thank you for sharing! 😀

Awesome flight video. I just Subscribed

Where do you plug in the splitter cable? Into the MIC port or the HEADSET port? And what settings do you use on the Zoom F1? Thank you!

That was very useful thanks for sharing

Why not use the GoPro 360 inside the cabin? Also can you hook the GoPro mic adapter to the 360 and still get ATC?

any way intercom system gets broken by using the splitter, or that the mic doesn't work etc.?

Thank you for the Video! Which Settings (especially resolution, Frames, white Balance, iso) do you mainly use with the two Gopros in the Cockpit? Thanks :)

Feel the bass!

Do you rely on the internal batteries of the GoPro’s in the cockpit, or use external power? I found if I use external batteries, I can record continuously, which avoids the need to fiddle with cameras in flight. The only downside to that yes then you end up with many many hours of video to sort through when editing. As for my cockpit audio, I also use a splitter, but record directly to one of the GoPro‘s that is recording continuously. The only issue I have run into with that, is that when you are running a external battery to the GoPro as well as external audio, you end up with a audio delay that needs to be realigned with the video in post editing. It’s a little annoying, but is manageable. I think I am going to switch to a dedicated audio recorder like you are using, so that I can avoid one other small problem with the audio delay. The other small problem is that because the GoPro records video in segments, the audio delay is not the same from one segment to the next. If you stitch all the segments of video together in editing, they may still not align with all the audio throughout the entire recording. You need to realign the audio for each individual segment a video before stitching the videos together. A dedicated audio recorder would eliminate that problem.

Can you list these wires for recording

Another awesome vid Tom! However you forgot to mention the hours of editing afterwards to get it looking so good!

Hi. Any idea how to record cockpit audio to Insta360? Also a South African looking to record cockpit and ATC audio

Been looking forward to this video for quite a while! Your cinematic colour grade, is that done in post, or do you get that from the ND filters? - Complete video noob by the way... 😅

Nice Video 👍

Do you know if there are any built in solutions for recording cockpit audio? I'll be building a bearhawk soon and I'd like the functionality built into the panel rather than having a splitter hanging from the lemo jacks. Anyone know of anything out there?

Thank you for the video! What editing program do you use

This only works on countries where it is legal to capture ATC/radio communication.

Do you use some remote controls? Especially, since the Max doesn't have such a long battery runtime...

Awesome. How is the Max mounted on the wing?

Thank you. How do you like your hero 9?
