Purchased for use with Sony video camera
- By Porqueami from APO AA USA on Thursday, June 02, 2016
- Pros: Good build quality
- Cons: None
- Review: I found the cable to be of very good build quality in comparison to other cables I have bought from other providers. Given the high build quality I would feel confident in buying other cable models from this seller. Sound quality was very clear with no electronic noise or distortion. Shipment was also quick.

Great Product
- By Steve McGrory from Montrose CA USA on Tuesday, February 16, 2016
- Pros: simple and effective
- Cons: none
- Review:
This cable worked EXACTLY as described. If you own an older GoPro this is exactly what you need to record your ATC comms while filming. Added perk was that it healped clear up some background noise between my headset and the radio inputs.

Improve your radio skills!
- By Barmerman from Tallahassee, FL on Saturday, April 21, 2007
- Pros: It works
- Cons: None
- Review:
This product is billed as a "video" recorder adapter, but it is basically an audio feed of what you hear in your headphones (you and ATC) to any audio or video recorder. I connect it to a small mp-3 audio recorder, but any recorder will work.
I record all flights including those with students who review it on the ground and find it useful in building their radio communication skills. You can also easily visualize your flights, what happened and when.
It is a great gizmo. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 4 Other people found this review helpful.

Works great!!
- By A Customer from Daytona Beach, FL on Wednesday, January 18, 2012
- Pros: Perfect for inflight videos with comms only.
- Cons: none
- Review: I have this adapter hooked into my GoPro Hero2 and it works great for recording only the intercom and mic transmissions instead of cabin noise. ATC and traffic calls are also captured while recording. However, there is a little electronic interference noise heard with RPM changes, but nothing too bad that it ruins the video and that also might be from the a/c avionics itself, so I'm not sure.

Excellent cable
- By A Customer from Miami, FL, USA on Friday, March 28, 2014
- Pros: Easy to use, good quality.
- Cons: None
- Review: Excellent quality. Works as advertised. It connects (stereo) to your headset and to a digial recorder to allow you to get quality ATC and cockpit audio that you can later edit to your video (GoPro cameras are great but their microphone is not).

Perfect for GoPro
- By Dale from Warner Robins GA USA on Thursday, February 13, 2014
- Pros: Works perfect. Great sound.
- Cons: Would be nice to have longer cable lengths to be able record from rear of plane.
- Review: I purchased this product so I could add audio to my cockpit video recordings. I have an older GoPro Hero2 and this was the cable that worked for it. Works flawlessly and it's an adapter cable, so one of the headsets plugs into the audio cable and that plugs into the radio jack. No need for a separate intercom jack. One thing to note: The original GoPro Hero/Hero2 case does not have openings for the cable. You will either need to cut your housing or purchase a skeleton housing for your camera to use this cable.

A bit pricy but good
- By A Customer from Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on Thursday, February 12, 2015
- Pros: Coiled cable, clean sound, easy solution
- Cons: On the expensive side
- Review:
I hooked this cable up to my GoPro to capture all cockpit sounds and ATC. I have had strange feedback problems with external audio before with my GoPro, but this cable gave me a very clean sound.
I have it mounted on the copilot's window in the 172, which makes the coiled cord perfect. Very glad I went with the coiled and not the straight cord... I can imagine the mess that could make.
The price is a little high comparing that you could make a splitter yourself and put a line-in to your iPhone or an audio recorder, but if you would like a nice simple solution to record cockpit audio, this is the perfect cord for you.
Make sure you have the skeleton case (GoPro Hero 2. I'm not sure about the Frame on the newer ones) or you will not be able to plug this in!
I am glad I invested in this cable as a nice easy solution, even though it may not be the cheapest option you have for recording cockpit audio. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 3 Other people found this review helpful.

Amazing sound quality
- By Hudi from Santa Clara CA USA on Friday, May 20, 2022
- Review: Bought this to record cockpit video. The sound is clear and sharp and the cable itself is thick and durable. There is a electrical circuit inside to cut out the noise and match the impedance. I was using a standard cable and there would be hissing and chirping in the recordings, this cable removes all of that. Highly recommended.

Works Great!!
- By Paul from Camp Verde Ariz USA on Wednesday, May 30, 2012
- Pros: Coil audio cord, and 90 degree plug to keep it neat
- Cons:
- Review: I am still learning how to use the GoPro HERO2 camera but so far it has not disappointed me. I use it a piper sport low wing that has a dome cab. The suction cup mount works great. The camera is actually upside down, but with a setting in the camera it flips the image right side up. As a student pilot I can't say enough that having the video to review is priceless. I used the audio recorder adapter with the camera, the audio is fantastic. No distortion you hear everything, cockpit and others. I tried recording straight to a voice recorder("pre Gopro cam")and a handy cam without audio input, sitting on a tri pod in the back, then I had to mix the sound later with the video, {BIG pain in the butt} from the intercom and got a lot of noise and distortion. I also picked up a 12 volt power adapter to USB with a USB extension cable so you can record until the card is full and not have to worry about the cameras internal battery going dead. You may not the extension cable depending where you mount the camera. I mounted it just behind our heads in the middle so I can see the entire wind screen instrument panel and both pilots from the mid back up. If you are an instructor please tell your students about this camera, or just buy one.

Great for voice recorders
- By A Customer from San Antonio TX USA on Thursday, March 20, 2008
- Pros: simple
- Cons: price
- Review: This adapter cable works great for recording in-flight audio on a digital voice recorder. I use a $60 Olympus recorder and the sound quality is very good. As a student pilot, I'm finding the recordings of my flights to be a great learning tool.

- By Gil from Lehigh Acres FL USA on Friday, May 31, 2013
- Pros: Coiled phone handset type cable allowing it to stretch to about 5' in length.
- Cons:
- Review: This product hooks up to the pilot's or a passenger's headphone plug on one end and the aircraft jack on the other. A third (attached) cable plugs into my GoPro Black camera. The ambient sounds from propeller and wind are blocked, and only the sounds of the planes occupants, the tower and transmissions from other aircraft are heard on the video. This does a nice job and sound quality is good. However, if you mount your GoPro inside the plastic protective case, the cable cannot be used, as there is no opening in the case through which the cable can plug into the camera. I solved the problem by drilling a small hole in my GoPro protective case...plugged the cable into the side of the camera...and the problem was solved.

Additional info
- By A Customer from Toronto, Canada on Saturday, November 03, 2012
- Pros: Does exactly what it says
- Cons: Costly for a small cable
- Review: Great product BUT you should also buy a splitter and an additional microphone to catch the ambient sound of the engine . Just using the splitter alone records dead silence between the ATC communications. I would also suggest putting a bit of tape over the mike as you dont want the sound of the engine overpowering the ATC communications

Great product but a bit pricey for what it does
- By Geoffrey from Switzerland on Monday, February 24, 2014
- Pros: Does what it says
- Cons: A bit expensive considering what it does
- Review: Does a super job splitting the audio. I've used it twice now and am very happy with the quality of the audio recorded. Previously I've tried recording audio from a passengers headset earphone jack but always ended up with clipped audio because the levels were too high. However with this setup I am able to easily monitor the levels and have been very happy with the results.

Adapter works great
- By David from Beresford SD USA on Tuesday, April 09, 2013
- Pros: Easy simple solution for recording to GoPro
- Cons: None
- Review: Adapter cord is good quality and works perfectly. Easy to use. No issues recording to GoPro. Eliminates all recorded noise from the airplane and wind and allows you to record clear radio transmissions or communications within the cabin between occupants. Have been using the product during flight school to record my lessons. Great benefit to being able to listen to your recorded radio transmissions and instructor guidance.

Actually it was the first thing people noticed with my videos... the audio quality is fantastic. Love this adapter. Highly recommended.
