Fodsports Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset with Camera, FX30C PRO 2 Riders 1000M Helmet Communication System, 360° Shooting Motorcycle Helmet Camera, Music Share/EQ Sound/2000mAh/64G TF Card

This device seems to accomplish everything it sets out to do, is affordable, and the Fodsports support was quick to answer a question. I can't really complain.This unit seems to come with everything you need, including the memory card. It offers a clamp-on as well as stick-on mounting options. I opted for the stick-on which means it's permanently affixed to my helmet, but the headphones and wires are also permanent so I didn't see a big issue. It may just be the way I mounted it, but I do capture a small amount of my helmet in the frame. This might be a deal breaker for a vlogger, but I was fine with it. The inclusion of both a flexible and small stick-on microphone was nice, and I opted for the stick-on as my helmet already had material to mount it near the mouth. The holder can rotate 360 degrees, but video doesn't automatically flip when upside down or pointed backwards (I guess you do that in post processing if you want).The speakers do a decent job, but can get a little hard to hear at high speeds on the highway. The microphone also works well, and my wife said I sounded like I was on a normal call as I did 30MPH over a bridge.The camera does it's job, but don't expect GoPro quality and stabilization at less than 1/3 the cost. At night, lights tend to blow out the capture and cause rays and stars. Again, don't expect DSLR quality. Quality of the video is probably the worst thing here, but was the last reason I bought it. I just wanted to be able to record some basic video for rides, particularly so I could show my new-rider sone their performance. You're not going to have sharp capture of things in the distance, and the audio is nothing but wind above 15MPH. But, you can make out license plates nearby, and voices while slow or at a standstill. I recorded about 1.5 hours on it without problems and nowhere near touched the storage of the included 64GB memory card.As a blue-tooth device, it works just like ear buds, and you can play music (I don't), make calls, give Siri (and I assume Android) commands, and in theory connect to other blue-tooth headsets (haven't tried yet).Operation is a little confusing, but you get used to it fast. The unit actually operates as 2 separate devices: You turn on the blue tooth with a 2-button combination, but turn on the camera with a different button. Once on, operation is a little easier thanks to the audio feedback of commands. For example, if you have the headset on, and turn on the camera, then you hear 'Camera on'. If you then click the Video record button, you hear 'Video recording' (or something similar). For my own comfort, I was able to download the manual and store it on my phone for later reading. Operation with a gloved hand is no problem.The AVIDEO App is a little buggy, but it works. I found that Live Video would stop working after about 2 minutes, but you don't really need it for that long. You might want to use this to check the camera position, but once you set position it stays there. The app does allow you to turn off the watermark text on videos and photos, which Fodsport support explained.Speaking of support, I wasn't happy that all my videos and photos had a Fodsport watermark. I sent an email to Fodsport support, and they responded with the solution within a day or 2. Turns out the AVIDEO app is also used to set configuration options on the device, like whether to add the watermark or not. A quick and easy fix.My son has the $300 Cardo headset and a $300 GoPro with the two devices stuck on his helmet. I am pleased to have one easily-removable device for $130, where the biggest complaint is that while the video is acceptable, it isn't GoPro quality. If you are destined to be a vlogger, then I would opt for the GoPro.

Replacing a 7 year old Sena that I used for music streaming as the battery just couldn't hold a charge for long any more.Looking at the new units from the big brands I'd be paying hundreds, and that didn't include a camera, so I took a shot.Install: Not too difficult. Spent more time trying to familiarize myself with the controls since I can't see the side of the helmet while riding.Pluses:+ I like they include a few extras such as adhesive vs clip, risers to adjust the camera lean angle based on your helmet, a boom mic and a flat mic that sticks to the inside of the helmet.+Comes with an SD card+battery life+Video recording can switch between camera mic and helmet mic.+USB-C+Weight. It doesn't feel like it adds much to the helmet+Music quality is better than my sena was, and the EQ is nice.+Video quality is acceptable with a nice wide angle to catch things. Camera mic didn't pick up much wind noise as I thought it would. This is no 4k youtube vlogger quality, but for some amateur video filming and as a safety dashcam style camera, its great. Able to easily read the plates off the cars in front when watching the video backCONS:- I find the dial hard to work with gloves. I think I'd have preferred a 4 way rocker. Up/down for volume, left right for next/previous. while riding it was a bit difficult to sometimes tell if I had turned it and held it to skip tracks- The power voice and camera voice are different voices. Camera is too quiet, and hard to hear if you're already playing music.- The button combos can be hard to remember-Removing the cords/rubber gaskets covering things and the device itself from the helmet holder can be a bit difficult. Hoping things break in enough so it gets a bit easier.-App is horrible. Connects every now and then, freezes a lot, just not worth it.Not tested:I don't ride with others often, and those I do ride with don't usually have intercoms anyway so I did not test:Intercom use/pairingMusic sharingDid not test phone calls either. I'll answer if it rings but thats rare and I prefer to focus on riding.Have not run the battery down with video/music to test life span, but using both it already exceeded the shortened life of my old headset which was down to an hour.

The media could not be loaded. I was blown away by the quality of the video, the battery life, and the sound for playing music. Any camera is going to pic up the wind noise, so that’s not an issue. Super easy to connect to the app, edit, and download videos.Out of the blue, I received a message from the manufacturer/seller. They just wanted to make sure that I received the product and that I was happy with it. I told him that my only complaint at my call volume was very low. I could barely hear the person on the other end of the phone. They had me take a picture of the back of the unit for the model and serial number and send it to them. They told me they would get back to me at specific date, which they did. They determined that my unit might be defective and said they would send me a whole brand new unit. When I receive a new unit in a few days, I tested it in the call volume was much better. I didn’t even have to send back the old unit. The sound of my music is even better than my Sena. I don’t have anyone to ride with, so I can’t speak to the quality of the intercom system, but the music and video is amazing and the company truly cares about their customers.

It sounds great when you not riding and still sitting in your living room. I can't hear nothing while I'm riding, from calls and music. Sad thing I order this in April and can't return it and even bought insurance 😪 why I waited so long to try it?? Previous helmet didn't have the space to mount it, just got a new helmet 😳don't waist your money. If you a rider, this is NOT the Bluetooth you needYou will annoy your self and does calling you
