Another in-flight video

[Joe Zuffoletto]

Here's one I shot yesterday of a 30-minute flight around Denver. Used the Nflightcam and plugged it into the headphone jack. Need to figure out how to filter out the high-frequency noise from the electrical system.

I've tried the GoPro and the Nflightcam and I definitely like the Nflightcam better. I used the bar mount to attach it to the steel tubing behind the windscreen, which is a much better solution than using adhesive to attach the GoPro to the glare shield. You can capture your aircraft radio with the Nflightcam but not the GoPro. The Nflightcam also has a better picture with more saturated colors, in my opinion. Finally, the ability to aim the camera using your iPhone and Bluetooth is an awesome feature. With the GoPro you have to guess.

Nflightcam's magic lens for reducing prop effect didn't work as well as I expected, but it's good enough for me.

@Joe -

To filter out the audio-whine you probably just need a ground loop isolator (like this one) http://www.crutchfield.com/p_127SNI135/PAC-SNI-1-3-5-Noise-Filter.html?tp=2653 . It's also pretty easy to build one using a 1-1 audio transformer (2 for stereo) if you have access to parts.

I've used one to record audio from my 231 several times...

Ken,

Thanks! I'll give it a try.

"Used the Nflightcam and plugged it into the headphone jack."

Did you use an NFlightcam or an NFlightcam PLUS? The PLUS is the only version that un-effs that bent-propeller effect.

Great video.  Sometimes it's just nice to be the passenger.

Skywarrior: I used the Nflightcam + and the special lens/filter for aviation.

I've got the same whine in mine - I find comfort in it as it indicates my alternator is charging...
