They make a Contour Roam that has a built in mic, a Contour GPS, which allows you to record your track as well, and a Contour Plus that has GPS and an external mic so you can plug it into your comm and record your ATC comms or you could talk your notes into it as it films. They run from under $200 to $500 depending on which model. Records up to 32G of data. They are all wide angle HD up to 1080p.
