Nflightcam: A Brand with GoPro Accessories Pilots Can Trust

What pilot doesn’t look forward to sharing videos and pictures of their travels? Breathtaking vistas, fascinating terrain, and memorable approaches all make for exciting story telling and learning experiences. The key, however, is for pilots to be able to capture all the video they want without allowing it to distract them from flying the aircraft.

For more than 20 years, GoPro has been the market leader in action cameras for all kinds of high-speed, action-packed events and activities. They’re the benchmark for portability, ease of use, and reliability that all other action cameras are measured against. That’s why it’s no coincidence that with the right Go Pro accessories they also make the perfect camera choice for pilots to record their aerial adventures.

Nflightcam Stands for Safe, Effective GoPro Aircraft Accessories

Let’s be honest: while there’s no shortage of action cameras available today offering all types of features, the fact that GoPros still dominate the action camera space is a testament to both their quality and longevity. For pilots, aircrews, and other aviation specialists though, it’s the extensive range of premium quality Go Pro accessories on the market that gives them their decisive edge.

In environments where image stability and audio quality are as much about the functionality of what’s used with camera as it is about the camera itself, accessories like the ones from Nflightcam have become an invaluable complement to the GoPro’s capabilities. They’ve been around almost as long as GoPro, and they make a wide range of gear for their most popular models, including:

• GoPro Hero 3/3+/4 Silver/4 Black models;
• GoPro Hero 5/6/7/8 Black models; and,
• GoPro Hero /9/10/11/12/13 Black models.

With wide selections of precision cockpit and mounting kits, cables, and filtering accessories, Nflightcam knows how valuable high-quality video and audio captures are to a multitude of modern aviation activities, most of which are outside of recreation. That’s why they manufacture mounts and accessories that are as safe as they are effective.

Cockpit Kits For Aircrews on Any Aviation Job

Versatility is what sets industrial-grade Nflightcam GoPro cockpit kit accessories apart from their contemporaries. That’s because when it comes to capturing a pilot’s perspective, GoPro cameras aren’t limited strictly to recreational flying. They’re the perfect camera for any fixed wing, rotary wing, or lighter-than-air private or general aviation craft, and Nflightcam’s GoPro camera accessories help them do more, for the broadest array of aviation jobs. They are great for:

• Pilot training and instruction. With a GoPro aviation kit and suction mount, instructor pilots and students can safely record all types of flight training and control inputs, allowing for a more enhanced learning experience, and more precise feedback on aircraft performance.
• Performing aerial surveys. When supported by premium GoPro cockpit accessories, aerial survey pilots are able to use GoPros as an affordable alternative to dedicated aerial cameras for all kinds of imaging works, including aerial mapping, pipeline and utility inspections, and wildlife management.
• Agricultural flying. For pilots who fly crop dusters or other types of aerial applicators, GoPro accessories provide the crucial camera stability that guarantees maximum efficiency and coverage when they’re on the job, as well as help identify and mitigate low altitude flying risks.

Make no mistake: as a growing number of smart devices are gaining recognition for their ability to take action video, even the best of them lack the specialised features of a GoPro. No other device offers the exceptional video capture that a GoPro does; Nflightcam’s top of the line mounting accessories for GoPro cameras give pilots the assurance they need to know that an unsecured camera won’t become a dangerous projectile, either inside or outside the aircraft.

Exterior Mounts For Full Capacity Camera Captures

While cameras are most likely to be mounted inside an aircraft, the GoPro’s hardened aluminium housings and vibration resistant construction means they’re just as capable mounted outside the aircraft as inside. They’re the optimal solution for capturing unique takeoff and landing perspectives, showcasing difficult aerial manoeuvres, or for creating specialised training videos.

And as Australia’s Civil Aviation Safety Regulations (CASRs) are very clear about the limitations on cameras mounted outside of aircraft, Nflightcam GoPro ball head mount, and strut mount kits go the full distance to keeping exterior captures safe.

Both ball head and strut mount Nflightcam external GoPro aircraft mount kits make use of milled 18-8 stainless steel and 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminium components and are rated respectively for maximum air speeds of 350 mph/304 knots, and 250 mph/217 knots. Ball head mounts are especially impressive though, and they boast an array of high-stability features that include:

• A159mm x 61mm x dimension baseplate;
• 3.175mm plate thickness; and,
• 5cm – 13cm threaded attachment point spacing.

Weighing only 370gr, Nflightcam exterior GoPro ball mount kits utilise surface spuds and protective metal cages, and are designed to be installed to exterior inspection panels or other multi-bolt points. Their ability to uniformly distribute wind resistance is the result of Nflightcam’s commitment to maximum safety inside and outside the aircraft, both of which pair excellently with the GoPro’s extraordinary audio capture.

Nflightcam Makes Comms Cables For Every Contingency

Although expert quality video is the GoPro’s undisputed specialty, their ability to capture cockpit audio is no less impressive. And while the GoPro’s two internal microphones and standard 3.5mm external mic work fine with the unit’s own built-in noise reduction software, Nflightcam digital GoPro aircraft audio adapter cables make it possible for pilots and aircrews to attach their own inline audio enhancing utilities for maximum voice isolation and noise cancellation at all times.

Nflightcam’s premier lineup of 6′ and 10′ GoPro aviation audio cable sets are designed to allow pilots and aircrews to record, and expertly synchronise all their cockpit headset, ATC, and intercom communications with the camera directly through a smart device, and are available in a range of 3.5mm connectivity options that include:

• 3- and 4-pole smartphone jack plugs to PJ-type GA connectors;
• 4-pole digital audio recording device to U174-type helicopter connectors; and,
• GoPro external microphone adapter to LEMO-type, Bose connectors.

Nflightcam GoPro aviation audio cables and adapters also cover a complete range of male/female connections in both single and dual plug configurations, to include:

• GA to U174-type;
• GA to Airbus XLR;
• GA to LEMO-type;
• LEMO-type to U174-type; and,
• 3.5mm to iPhone or iPad.

Regardless of the type of aircraft being flown, or the type of flying being done, Nflightcam’s extensive selection of GoPro aviation accessories, even down to the cables, offers a solution for every contingency.

The Final Word

At the end of the day, when it comes to high quality, cost effective action camera video and audio captures, it’s impossible to beat a GoPro. And no other name is more synonymous with tapping into and adapting the GoPro’s stability and durability to aviation than Nflightcam.

With Nflightcam’s extensive range of premium quality accessories, pilots and aircrews can be sure that they’re getting the best captures support on the market. They’re as safe as they are effective, and that’s precisely what’s needed both inside and outside an aircraft.
