Flight Gear Audio Cable - Record Cockpit Audio on Your iPhone or GoPro

Shop: www.sportys.co...
Creating videos of your aviation adventures is a great way to share your experiences with others, but don’t forget the cockpit audio. The Flight Gear Audio Input Cable makes it easy to record intercom activity, no matter what device you use. This unique cable is the only one with two 3.5mm output plugs: one for phones and one for digital cameras like GoPros. You can use one or both at the same time-perfect for backup in case one camera dies.
Fly along with Sporty's Doug Ranly and see how this unique cable works.
Built-in audio filtration:
The audio coming out of an intercom manufactured in 1972 can be pretty rough. The Flight Gear Audio Input Cables have built-in filtration circuits to help cut down on noise and distortion. The result is a cleaner audio file and more compelling videos.
TRS camera plug:
Use this end to plug into cameras and audio recording devices. Don’t have a 3.5mm plug on your camera? Most popular action cameras, including GoPro, have an optional accessory (sold separately) that allows you to plug into external microphone inputs. This 3.5mm TRS plug is also known as a 3-pole plug.
TRRS phone plug:
The second plug on the Flight Gear Audio Input Cable is for phones. Many modern smartphones have amazing cameras, so pilots can use their phone for recording their flight-after all, it’s always available. Most 3.5mm jacks on these phones will provide a stereo audio output with a mono audio mic input (left, right, ground, mic). The TRRS plug, also known as a 4-pole plug, provides a single channel microphone input. Phones without a 3.5mm jack will require an adapter (sold separately).

Can I plug into a Insta360 camera instead of gopro?

[@ronniethepilot]

Does the cable to use for the iPhone does the six cable have to have 3 lines? I tried to use one with only 2 lines to my handheld transmitter and it wasn’t working, it was actually keeping my handheld on transmitter like is if it was transmitting

Now we need the adapter for the iPhone 15 pro max with the USB C plug. Please tell us when it is available. The “Steady Shot” feature in the video of the 15 is incredible .

[@sportyspilotshop]

We offer that as an option right on the page with the main cable.

One Nflightcam audio adapter for the GOPRO 7 seems to work Ok. But the second adapter recently purchased is over modulated and very distracting and not worth the audio recording. The output is from a PMA 450B to the CP audio jack where I am picking up the source in the cabin. Any suggestions? (defective adapter going to the GOPRO)? GOPRO source setting is set to standard mic input.

This doesn’t not record the radio communication from ATC. Any idea what could I be missing?

[@ronniethepilot]

Do you need an external mic for the iPhone to avoid cockpit noise and if so what do you recommend?

[@sportyspilotshop]

No, by plugging this in you mute the iPhone external mic, so all you hear is intercom and ATC audio.

[@ronniethepilot]

@@sportyspilotshop ok for some reason when I connect to my Yaesu FTA 550 it seems to trigger the TX button for some odd reason so I’m thinking if this is only for in plane radio only and does not work with handheld unless there is some sort of setting I need to change on the handheld unless there

I’m considering the DJI mic for my cockpit audio recording. Does it plug into the receiver? Or do you plug it into one of the microphones and it wirelessly transmits to the receiver? Thank you for your time!

[@sportyspilotshop]

In this video, we are plugging the 3.5mm cable into the transmitter. We record on the transmitter and wirelessly transmit it to an iPhone to record there at the same time. Add in the GoPro video + 3.5mm plug in, and we have 3 different audio files and two video files to choose from. Pilots are all about redundency, right?

[@PaulLascari]

I bought the Media Mod for the GoPro so I could record audio without leaving the door open. Guess that would be connector you show in the video to connect.

[@Flygaljae]

Does this work for both the PIC and passenger audio or would there need to be two separate adapters? Also, can the excess noise through the iPhone switch be canceled out?

[@sportyspilotshop]

It works for both.

[@ashtonw4389]

Just so I understand correctly your using the DJI mic plugged in the same way as the iPhone?

[@sportyspilotshop]

Yes.

[@Flyy_guy_ry]

What works best with GoPro Max? So far I've found no options. Please Help

[@yashrajaero-spaceheritagey2015]

It didn't work with Insta360 one x2 camera.😞 Returning

[@wb6anp]

now just to get the same type cable for those of us that have Android phones, and also use Panel Power plugs,

[@sportyspilotshop]

We have a LEMO plug option! www.sportys.com/flight-gear-lemo-audio-input-cables.html

[@billd3765]

So if I get this USB-C adapter to 3.5mm headphone jack, and buy your Nflightcam iPhone Intercom Audio Interface Cable , can I get a refund if it doesn’t work? The Nflight technicians indicated there was a complication with the iPhone 15 USB-C plug not transferring audio. I’m willing to try it, but don’t want to get stuck with it if it doesn’t work. The SB-C adapter to 3.5mm headphone jack is only $10, and I’m willing to risk that.

[@sportyspilotshop]

@@billd3765 Yes, we offer a 30-day no hassle return policy. Just note that we offer a USB-C adapter on the same page as the main headset cable - we have specifically designed this to do mic in addition to just phone, so it works. Not all adapters do.
