The Video Recorder Audio Adapter allows you to record everything from the aircraft intercom system to your external Digital Audio/Video Recorder. It's great for creating your own aerial videos without excess cabin noise. It will record all of the audio transmitted through the intercom system, including in-cabin audio and ATC transmissions.

It works with devices that use a 3.5mm stereo external mic input such as the GoPro HERO, Drift HD, or any other handheld Video Camera or personal audio recorder. Or, use it with a handheld digital audio recorder to create your own CVR (Cockpit Voice Recorder). If you plan on using this with a Smartphone or Tablet (i.e. iPhone, iPad, Android, Windows Phone, etc.), you should instead get the Smartphone Digital Audio Adapter for airplanes which is specifically built for Smartphones.  If you are using this exclusively with the GoPro HERO3, you might also consider the GoPro HERO 3 Aircraft Audio Adapter - Fixed Wing.

Great for CFI's and Students to review radio communication skills after the flight!

Length: 5 foot. Also available for helicopters or headsets with 6-pin Redel panel powered plug.

Lowest Price Guaranteed!

Amazing sound quality

  • By Hudi from Santa Clara CA USA on Friday, May 20, 2022
  • Pros:
  • 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 GumshoePilot from Auburn, CA on Wednesday, April 26, 2017
  • Pros:
  • Review: Works great to patch in a camcorder or other device that accepts a 3.5mm plug (the old 1/8" plug). I bought two of them in fact. Well made also.

Purchased for use with Sony video camera

  • By Porqueami from APO AA USA on Thursday, June 02, 2016
  • Pros: Good build quality
  • 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
  • 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.

Works.. But with what..

  • By A Customer from BC Canada on Tuesday, February 02, 2016
  • Pros: Reaches the back window of my 152 with ease
  • Review: Cable is convenient and durable. Curly cable allows for plenty of stretch. All plugs and jacks are snug and click in tight.

Not for iPad or iPhone

  • By David from Falmouth MA USA on Thursday, January 17, 2019
  • Pros: Works as advertised
  • Cons: Not for iPad or iPhone devices
  • Review:

    Reasonably well made for the price. Note that the 1/8" jack is only 3 conductors. iPad and iPhones require 4 conductors to accept external mic input.
