We accomplished this years ago utilizing a half-empty tissue box
sitting on the glare shield in order to support the camera steadily.
I found a 6' patch cord at Radio Shack in order to plug into the 1/8"
audio jack, and a 1/4" plug in order to plug into the observers
(Jumpseat) mixer box. The result was perfect audio with no background
noise from four turbines, just a little inverter noise when you keyed
the mike. The training department found out what we were doing and
went nuts "can we get a copy of these" since it can really assist
with new hires and upgrades. MY fave is still the Sunday 7.30 pm
"Whale Walk" at JFK.

Ok, I got the Camera strapped into the cardinal... two legs forward one
leg in the seat and 5 seperate bungee cords... yay.

Heres a question... I don't want to just hear the droning of the
engine... but I also don't want to just hear my clever conversation
with myself, so any ideas from more audio/videophile types on how I
might be able to get both the engine sound and the microphone sound
onto the tape?

I was thinking of recording the engine sepereatley and editing it into
the tape in Adobe, but there has to be a simpler way that it can be
recorded right onto the tape, right?

I'm thinking of putting the whole thing together in a "Top Gear"
Fashion.... anyone ever seen that show? The new one after 2001?
