Great review, Thanks for being real and not too long winded... I can't imagine how hard it is to do a review because you can't please everyone... Yours was great, and I want one more than ever now LOL.
Thank you Chase. I just bought the product. Its awesome. It fit perfectly into my Shoei Neotec. I ride with 2 others and they just bought them as well. I have a small power pack in my jacket pocket so I can run all day shooting my videos, music, phone and just general chat etc. The charging USB cable provided is a perfect size so I don't have cords running all over the place. You guys will really like this product. This is now the new standard and yes we can get it in Australia. I got mine in Adelaide from Yamaha world for an even $400 Australian.
Just a thought. Does youtube actually pick up the music and copyright it? As that would be pretty cool for editing purposes rather than being banned by youtube. It's a pretty good bit of kit. But for sure when you say intercom is the way forward you are 100% right. When I was out with Mr b I was able to warn him of a big ass bag in the road using the bt intercom system.
+TheSpikeyBiker if the music played through the senas Bluetooth can be heard on the recording youtube will pick it up and alert you of any copyright issues.
+Dracati Ducati I agree. This is pretty good for a first time vlogger. Some are not keen on the price but look at what you're getting in one small device. You have an intercom and a 1080 camera. How much would they be separately.
Nice little bit of kit I check it out on Amazon is that the right price for it £300 pounds as I have been thinking of getting something like that when I get my bike at the end of the month
dude good review :) the video quality is quite acceptible for YT audio could be a bit better, but I suspect you may have had it at max sensitivity or high cheers mate :)
+castrejo67 There were no sensitivity settings mate. Best way to tackle it is by moving the mic away from your gob. It also came supplied with another smaller mic. I might give that a go to see if it's any better.
+matthew wyatt Unfortunately there was no option and the audio would flood. I bent the mic like in the picture but only got a slight improvement. Might be better off moving it away further.
Just got a new Sena 10c and can't get it to pair to any of my Sena 20s s. Have followed the instructions to the letter also watched pairing on utube but still don't work.
I have the freecom 4plus no issues im a courier until this lockdown and the battery life is good will last about 4 days with constant use. You can pair up to three different riders including yourself and the jbl speakers sound great. The range is decent i think about half a mile because it starts cutting out
did you have any problems hearing the person on the other end? I just bought one but am going to return it because I could not hear the other person they were really statically
P187 Do you use ear plugs, as in noise blocking ear plugs. Wondering how loud the speakers are. I hate whistling wind noise but see this gadget as a great idea. Cheers for your efforts
Awesome little device. Few niggles, to be expected really on a first gen cam. What's the deal with the Inazuma? Replaced the scooter or, heaven forbid, the DRZ?!
Can't say I'm upset ;) My dad had an Inazuma for about a year and he loved it around town. On the open road it struggled a bit, so he traded it for a CB500F. He still rates the 250 at being of better build quality than the Honda lol.
+HamSpamJamLamb I have an Inazuma great London bike IMO although maybe a little big for what it is a 2 into 1 exhaust would be good if they were easy to find here.
***** wow that's interesting. Thanks for that nugget of information. I'm hoping the Inazuma follows the bandits reliability streak. So far I've heard that the 2013 models had an issue where rain water splashes into the switch area that activates the rear break lights and it'd blow fuses. The fix was to pack it with grease.
Looks pretty good and I would get one if I didn't already have a Contour 2 cam and a Scala Q3. Maybe when I am ready to upgrade I will get one. The specs say "Supports up to 4 riders" can you talk to all 4 in a conference or does the intercom only work between you and one other person at once?
Yeah it's pretty cool to talk whit your riding partner while riding! Especially when you ride around areas with no traffic lights! You not often get a chance to speak with your buddy! I always used my phone with a mic and headphones! It started to get on my nerves after a while. Your ears kinda start to hurt and the mic sometimes fell off! Hows the Sound quality of the Sena? Does it sound like in the video? or is the sound a bit cleaner? Nice Video you handsome nugget!
+Stephen Stallebrass You can get an adapter so convert the Sena audio cable to a regular 3.5mm plug which will allow you to use regular headphones .... or custom earplugs (with integrated drivers) like the UltimateEar plugs
+WeeemRCB It's Ultimate Ears that I have. Is this an aftermarket adaptor by Sena or a custom hack, do you have a link? I had an Interphone f4 customised for my UE plugs with an adaptor but the connection was rubbish. If I can do this without having to cut into the wires I might try it out. The big seller for my current cardo q3 is that it plugs in normally.
Stephen Stallebrass UE can adapt the Sena cable for you, but I think SENA also offer it as an accessory cable. Or try ebay... ;) Personally I use a regular Sena, but have the filtered UE plugs so I can hear the Satnav
+Andrew Russell Mcwhirter At the moment the 10c is £265. If you can go without a camera you can get the Sena 20c for £170. If you got a double pack it works out cheaper.

+Michael Brogan This is Premises's video. You're welcome
There's something soothing about his voice.
i would have it looking back while having my normal camera facing forward, really good review bro :D
JOHN SENA!!!
It also looks really dope and futuristic!
Excellent review mate, I have been looking at getting a sena 5, just need to get it ordered...
Nice review. Would be nice if they had a version to mount on right side off helmet.
Great video but you said it will tell you the directions you want and then said about going down coldharbour lane?
Just a thought. Does youtube actually pick up the music and copyright it? As that would be pretty cool for editing purposes rather than being banned by youtube. It's a pretty good bit of kit.

Good R/R !!!
For a new Motovlogger, or secondary cam set-up,
I don't think you could go wrong with this SENA package
;)
RSMF
+Dracati Ducati I agree. This is pretty good for a first time vlogger. Some are not keen on the price but look at what you're getting in one small device. You have an intercom and a 1080 camera. How much would they be separately.
Fo Sho !!!
separately it would be nearly $500 & two pcs. versus a compact design
Group Karaoke :D :D
How long does the Sena battery last between charges (with and without camera use)?
I like the look of this. My next Bluetooth headset will be one of those
Great review on the Sena ^.^
Love the video
Nice little bit of kit I check it out on Amazon is that the right price for it £300 pounds as I have been thinking of getting something like that when I get my bike at the end of the month

cool :)
was there a microphone sensitivty option? sounds a bit violent
+matthew wyatt Unfortunately there was no option and the audio would flood. I bent the mic like in the picture but only got a slight improvement. Might be better off moving it away further.
+Premises187 very impressive regardless :-)
Just got a new Sena 10c and can't get it to pair to any of my Sena 20s s. Have followed the instructions to the letter also watched pairing on utube but still don't work.
+William Mcmahon Have you got the latest firmware? I know the pairing method changed in the latest firmware. Maybe try universal pairing
Premises187 many thanks will try that now. Cheers

+HamSpamJamLamb It was 250 for 250. So yeah, scooter's gone :)

Totally, that's one reason my dad doesn't miss his too much haha.

i think you forgot to mention the price. impressive product though.
Top Product.
60fps is the future in my opinion, especially for motorcycle footage, and action cams in general.
I'd rather watch 720p/60fps, than 1080/30fps.
+ChasingTruth TakingFlak It does 720 @ 60 :)
So, you're going to go round with this *and* the drift ghost?
Let's all play "How many cameras can we attach to P187"
+Martin “Mez” Meredith Haha there have been times where the Drift battery has died and I've had the Sena running
Nice one mate.

cool shit broha!
I'm also going to buy one there are awsome. And going to buy also a helmcamera cause yesterday got a crash but now it's her word against mine
+maffetimo Best of luck with the claims mate. Insurance dishonesty boils my blood.
well explained
Premises 187, Premisssseeeeeesssss one eighhhhty-seevvvveeeen.
Watched,enjoyed.
Researched,cost,pain.
Not for me yet.Love the multi functionality though.
Nowhere to plug in custom SoundEars (earplugs with audio) whereas the Q3 does... otherwise I'd get one.
+Stephen Stallebrass You can get an adapter so convert the Sena audio cable to a regular 3.5mm plug which will allow you to use regular headphones .... or custom earplugs (with integrated drivers) like the UltimateEar plugs
+WeeemRCB It's Ultimate Ears that I have. Is this an aftermarket adaptor by Sena or a custom hack, do you have a link?

The big seller for my current cardo q3 is that it plugs in normally.
Stephen Stallebrass
UE can adapt the Sena cable for you, but I think SENA also offer it as an accessory cable.
Or try ebay... ;)
Personally I use a regular Sena, but have the filtered UE plugs so I can hear the Satnav
+WeeemRCB UE adapted my f4 and i wasn't impressed. i'll check out the sena accessory. q3 + drift ghost is my current set-up.
Very cool product but that price is way too high for me. I have a cheapo bluetooth headset and 2 cameras for around half that price.
Ta for the review. How much are they? Best look them up. I'm thick B-(
Love your videos, never give up please.........
+Andrew Russell Mcwhirter At the moment the 10c is £265. If you can go without a camera you can get the Sena 20c for £170.
If you got a double pack it works out cheaper.
Ta pal!
+Premises187 wow... pricey.
good review, it surely has a lot of cool little features, not liking the quality tho
WATTTTTTTTUUURRRRRTHOOOOOOOOOOOOZE
John SENA
hmmmmmm. feel free to send me a sena 10c whenever you wish.
Until then, I'll stick to my god awful earphones.
☺
Bought it with all that youtube money bro.
+Dark Star Read the description lol
+lol wut ahhhh
+Dark Star perks of being Premises! lol
Fuck me this cost £270!!!
Quit biting your nails m8 :P
Too bad the mic is shit.
