Works well, but ....

  • By Fly@Will from Sanford Maine on Monday, October 17, 2022
  • Pros: Quick to connect
  • Review: Certainly easy enough to connect and get working. Some balancing of the audio panel and mic levels is required especially if your crew has different headsets than you. The coiled cable is a hassle if you need to stretch it out across the cabin. I just bought a straight wire extender and ran it along the floor. But it works great!

Records audio well

  • By A Customer from APO AP USA on Saturday, December 12, 2020
  • Pros: Works. Easy.
  • Review: I use this with my GA 2-plug headset to record my headset audio, and it records all the radios, including the cockpit. I record audio using my iPhone stock audio recorder app, then pair it to my GoPro video using Adobe Premiere Pro. Everything works great together.

Much more than i expected

  • By Nelson from Dar es salaam Ilala Tanzania on Monday, May 21, 2018
  • Pros:
  • Review: Does a great job excluding out the engine noises and records high quality sound with great clarity. It's very flexible and can stretch out to different positions regardless of camera position. Very easy to fold and pack in small spaces.

perfect for Action Cam

  • By Zorro Volare from Oldsmar FL USA on Monday, January 22, 2018
  • Pros: easy as could be
  • Review: The cable worked as planned, tapping into the headphone Jack and routing the 1/8th (3.5 mm) plug to the Hero 5. Audio was clear and no more audio to video post process syncing required. Note the hero 5 requires an adapte to provide a 1/8 inch audio input.

Great Product

  • By 182 Jockey from North Carolina on Tuesday, October 17, 2017
  • Pros: Cord length and flexible mounting options.
  • Review: I needed to record audio to my iPhone and this product does exactly that. The cord is long enough to route out of the way, which makes mounting options convenient and effective.

    Makes playback of recorded flights sound like it did when you flew it. No background noise, etc....just clean, clear audio!
