[UPDATE Dec 2020 – I have updated the links to the latest best prices/products] I’ve had a few questions about the GoPro mount in the R22 and R44 helicopter and how I capture the radio and intercom audio. I have tried many different audio and mount options and finally came up with something that works very well. Watch the video below for the details.
Here is a link to each of the pieces on Amazon (you may find used GoPro under $100) – full disclaimer HTV gets a small commission at no extra cost to you – Thank you for supporting HTV:
I have to set the GoPro upside down, make sure you set the settings to record upside down or you will have to rotate all your videos afterwards. Also, I record at 720P 30 FPS – 1080 is great but takes forever to copy to my PC, upload, work with in an editor and I didn’t notice enough of a difference to warrant the extra file sizes.

Hi, I’m a private pilot from Ecuador. I’ve watch many of your videos and they are awesome and helpful, I would like to know where is you flight training school?
Thanks
The flight school is Leading Edge Aviation in Bend Oregon, USA (http://www.flybend.com/). I still live in Bend but no longer work for Leading Edge – I’d still recommend it though if you are looking to train over here.
