Hey everyone, I just started recording my flights with a camera mounted on my headset and i'm posting them on a new blog of mine. I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out and gave me some constructive criticism. Thank you!

Pretty cool, the only thing I would recommend is to loose the music when you have comms in the background.  Other than that though, it's a pretty neat idea.  How do you attach the camera to your headset?

I have the POV 1.5 Video camera made by VIO, in which the actual lens part of the camera is on a long cord which there are mounts for. So it is just a sticky piece of plastic and a Zip tie to secure it.

Really good videos, and the coms make it all the better. If you're going to make more vids keep the coms in them. Thanks!

There are two ways you can get the comm, You can plug your earbuds into the microphone part of your camera and they act as a microphone, then place them in your earcups of your headset, this method gives you engine noise. What I did was pick up these two things at radio shack, I got the Y adapter so I could plug in my headset and the Microphone, rather than take up the entire plug into the plane.
