Many thanks everyone for the great responses.

I did originally look at getting the Nflightcam, simply because it met my requirements while being designed for flying (making it easier to hook up to the intercom, built in GPS etc). However, I can't help but think it is hugely overpriced (~£480 I think).

I'm looking now at the GoPro HD2 range, and how to adapt that to flying. Just a few questions before I go any further:

- Is it possible to set this model up so as to avoid the 'fish-eye' effect? I understand the benefits of such lenses but I'd still really like to avoid it

- How can you determine the appropriate volume level on the aircraft intercom for recording? Is it simply trial and error?

- I'm guessing all I need to connect the camera to the intercom is a cable that allows the mic input to be connected in parallel to the headset/intercom audio output, there's no need for any kind of additional amplification or impedance right?

- Are there any ND filters for this camera? Is it possible to rig one up yourself?

Thanks again!

Odai.
