Digital Audio Recording Cable (Helicopter Version)

Works great!

The media could not be loaded. I generally am skeptical of something made of simple wiring and connectors costing greater than $30. But this may be the best ~$80 piece of equipment I've bought in a long time!I've been wanting to take video with my Canon 80D for awhile now, but the sounds of rushing wind and general helicopter noise is just unbearable!! And besides, I've always thought that the real excitement of flying in helicopters is not just the sights & sounds, but the radio chatter as well! The short video clip attached was recorded from inside the cabin of an H-60 Black Hawk. Radio comm's are very clear whether attached to either a free comm. cord or the cord attached in-line to your helmet/headset. Whatever you hear in your earphones, will be recorded!If there is anything I could change on this cable, one would be incorporating a "curly cue" or "pig tail" cord in stead of straight cords. (This is just my preference). The other thing would be a 90 degree 3.5mm jack instead of a jack that extends straight out from the camera body. Since this is marketed as a cable for "Military Connectors", I can honestly say that in any "military setting" where this could be used, that jack sticking out from the side of the camera is a magnet for anything to catch on or bump into it causing some damage to the mic receptacle, regardless of whether the camera is handheld or secured on a mount. If the jack were set flush to the camera body it would prevent most damage that may occur just by a simple bump of the jack by a careless individual or from the camera falling off its mount due to the helicopter's vibration.

Not compatible with the cockpit system in a Navy F18 super hornet. They use U173/U connectors. You can find U174/U92A jacks on the runway jockey comms but not in the jet.
