Camera use

[Al Downs]

Is there a way to hookup the GoPro2 to the headset and get all of the audio? I haven't been able to make it work.

This works well:

You have to drill a hole in the plastic camera housing to plug it into the camera, or else order one of these:

Or you can record the audio separately, then combine it back in when you edit, as an audio track. Just sync it to the video. This method allows you to have cockpit audio even when the camera is mounted outside. I use a little dictation recorder the size of a finger, but you can use iPhone/iPod or even some mp3 players also record voice. I just take an external mic the size of a bean and put it in one of my ear muffs. simple, cheap, effective.
