Actually one of the only pieces of advise I have for audio/vid synching is: Get/Make a clap board.
Be meticulous about writing down the correct take numbers and saving them correctly marked in your DAW. When you're editing the videos this will be a GOD SEND.
Also, I've heard people saying that just have someone clap in the video. This works - but to get it as synched as possible (always a pro synch), a clapboard works better because the white/black arrows in closed position clearly indicate when the clap is fully closed. When watching someone clap without sound it can be hard to see when their hands actually make contact.
I know this advice sounds a little silly, but trust me. A video that isn't properly audio/video synched just kills the vid.
Options:
(1) Squelch.
(2) External microphone + mixer.
(3) Multiple cameras, one on the NFlightcam cable, the other using its microphone. Sync them somehow (clap your hands, or go Hollywood), mix the two audio tracks together in Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere or whatever you're using (the GoPro Studio software itself might be able to accomplish this, too).
You can use a clacker old school style :D
Just do a clack at the beginning and end of your recordings and then look for the spike in the waveform whenever you go to sync up your audio. I do this whenever I record with my camcorder so I can get cleaner audio than the onboard mic. Works great!
Or if you don't want to buy a clacker... just clap your hands in front of the camera and look for the spike that way where your hands meet.
But the clacker is more fun lol.
