Choices:

• This unit comes standard with a “Super Clamp” that will fit on the lip of your glare shield/dash or on an outside strut.
• You may also choose a Suction Mount instead. This can be used on any flat, non-pourous surface. Ideal for a side-window, but will probably not work on the top of your glare shield/dash.
• If you choose to mount this on the outside of your plane, we suggest buying the Aluminum Pro Mount. This is ideal for outside uses.
• Also included is a Headset Audio Cable to record your conversations directly onto the video. The standard cable is for a 2-Plug G.A. Headset. A Helicopter Cable is available for an extra charge.

AV-HD Highlights:

• High Definition (1080p, 720p, and WVGA) - The AV-HD offers high definition video with three resolution settings.
• Propeller Filtering - The AV-HD features advanced technology to reduce and eliminate the zebra and warped prop effect of most HD camera systems. Included are two prop filters that adapt to the most extreme lighting conditions along with interpolation software that result in the best prop filtering on the market. Users can "tune" the filter to their lighting condition and prop speed using the onboard LCD and the buttons on the AV-HD control unit.
• Headset Audio Recording - When used with the included headset adapter cable, The AV-HD can record all headset audio, including everything you say and ATC transmissions. Optionally users can use the built-in microphone, or external mic included in the system.
• Two Fields of View (170 & 120 degrees) - The AV-HD records a 120-degree wide angle view in 1080p reducing the fisheye effect, preventing the edges of the video from folding over. When in 720p the AV-HD records a full 170 degree view, great for cockpit shots!
• Stills on-Demand - The AV-HD can take 8 megapixel still pictures with a touch of a button. On demand still's provide stunning images in four times the resolution of full HD video.
• Built-In LCD - The AV-HD features a 2" LCD control unit for setup, playback, and live viewing, so you can know exactly what you’re recording without having to look into a small viewfinder! Why wait until after the flight to see what you did or did not record.
• Simple Playback: Playing back your flight is a simple task. Files are recorded to your SD card which pops-in and pops-out of the AV-HD and almost all laptops. Since the file is recorded as a .MOV file you can play your video with a large amount of media players (Windows Media Player, QuickTime, etc.)
• Wireless Control: Mounting your camera out of reach is no problem when it comes to the AV-HD. Hit start on the wireless remote, go about your flight and then hit stop on remote upon finish. Do not be distracted by your video system, simplicity is the way to go.
• FlightSync Software: GPS, 3D Flight Pattern, Google Earth. Analyze your flight with Flight Path information from your GPS, that coexists with your video. Upload your videos straight to YouTube through FlightSync! *GPS data must be recorded/converted to a KML format in order to import into FlightSync.

How to use:

Mounting of the camera is a snap using the built-in 2.0" LCD and one of the many camera mounts included in the system. A cigarette power plug adapter allows for 12V to 24V DC input from the aircraft, or use one of the two rechargeable Li-Ion batteries included with the AV-HD. Videos can be easily downloaded using the USB cable or straight from an SD card (not included). Video files can be viewed on a PC or a Mac with no special software needed, and can be easily uploaded to YouTube.
