GoPro: Tips & Tricks

[Deepest Blue]

New GoPro

Hello everyone,

Thanks for the interesting tips to all PPRuNers above.

I have just purchased my first GoPro Hero 3.

I am looking around for accessories and soon realised that you can buy identical items on other sites for a much cheaper price tag than what you can find on the GoPro website.

I am looking for two main items in particular:

1) Headstrap (found one on lightinthebox for £5), and

2) a good method to record comms inflight that actually works.

Regarding 2), I have come across some guy (https://flywithstan.com/) regarding connecting all audio using a very cheap method.

Has anyone tried and tested this method as I have seen mixed reviews. Also regarding the the headstrap, does anyone recommend a particular one?

Thanks for your help.

You're just in time for the new CAA regulations. You can get advice on all your questions from the Licenced Engineer who checks and approves your installation.

I was under the impression that (for now) this only applied to Annex 2/Non-EASA aircraft?

I read it as LAA Permit aircraft were waiting for the LAA to issue instructions. So I thought the CAA regulation applied to EASA aircraft. I'll read it again.

I was wrong. But for LAA Permit Aircraft, consult the LAA.

This policy is applicable tonon-EASA GA aircraft that are subject to UK CAA regulatory oversight,

The LAA are due to publish adraft Technical Leaflet TL3.24 “CAMERA INSTALLATIONS.
