070426 Schuberth C2 Motorcycle Vlogging Helmet Modifications

[Rkooner]

Holy shit. You are the legendary 88hawaii? Man i thought i recognized your voice. And i was thinking "Hrrmm that spencerian guy is as cool as 88hawaii" who would have known :P

[ussprinceton2004]

I was going to do this same exact mod to my helmet, but I found out about Creative's Vado HD. I now have the 2nd gen, mounted inside the chin bar strapped with some velcro. The screen barely touches my nose unlike a lot of other motovloggers. I had to add velcro spacers for the correct angle lens because of the lean angle of sportbikes. It works perfect.

[twigo1]

i love the way you say "Button" xD

[kusznierewicz]

u know, that foam was there for a purpose...

[lilboone9866]

same way as 13mordeth

[UFunnyNow2]

You could always use a little Velcro on the bottom to secure it.

Very well done!

Keeps the camera lens clean also!

Very innovative!

[nonfatkibbles]

but-ton lol cool vid

[taconamedpaco]

wait..i'm confused..

88hawaii? from live video?

[Spencerian]

@taconamedpaco Yes, that would be me.

[CornStoveIowa]

So do you sell these helments revised as shown? Contact me as I am a subscriber. My Email is on my Youtube account.

[Spencerian]

CornStoveIowa - no, I don't sell this helmet or modifications like it. I just like to share videos with the community of riders and curious people that wonder how I did it. As you may find, I'm an encourager, so part of my mission is to take the mystery/fear out of moto-vlogging, so others in the community can try it.

[lyshieB]

that is an awesome find

[nobiirock]

its great! but is it legal? :S

[leomaster101]

hey how u got ur glasses to mount like that?

[Spencerian]

leomaster101 - You know what? I made that glasses mount. I never got around to making a video about it, so I'll make one in the future. A lot of people have been emailing me about this, so I'll definitely remember to make one in the future.

[67kneil]

nice mod to you helmet what did you use to cut the foam

[Spencerian]

67kneil - I just used a simple X-acto blade to slice into the foam. It cut like butter.

[kazenokizumi]

glasses, how

i want to know :D

[ianneiltongson]

Cool.....

[M4x1muZ]

Next to MacGyver :D

[MrBKBiker]

What is the setup you have for glasses? I wear glasses and have to take off to get full face helmet on and real pain to put glasses back on in the helmet.

[tigerpause444]

genius... absolute genius..

[danmoto73]

schuberths are really nice lids, although not that popular in the UK, i use a S1Pro, am on my second now, only gripe i have is that commset ear speakers don't attach easily to the lining like with other lids, soooo quiet though, i use a bullet cam myself but great vid and arrangement, i've seen some vids like this where the vlogger can barely see over the camera, your setup lokks really good :)

[AtlasRider]

The tape thing is very clever!

[Spencerian]

AtlasRider - you should try it out. It helps start the videos.

[kalashinakov]

that shit is dangerous mate!! cutting the helmet is not a good idea

[maikeli7]

Once again, you have proven why your videos are so popular! Seriously, we need you in NASA or working on alternative energy sources! Such innovation!!

[Vacre7]

Store water high above the ground in a container. Put it above a series of generators and as the water falls it will generate power. Pool the fallen water, make a series of small tubes rising back to the container and the water will rise back into the container through capillary action and then fall all over again. Problem solved.

[zero2kx]

I need to pay more attention. While watching the video I kept telling myself I know I've seen this one before even though its new. Then I looked at the file date. It's been a long day.

[CrustyBiker]

I did that mod with my old helmet, but i had it so you push the camera all the way down, I drilled a big hole in the chinbar and covered with see through perspex.... but eventually I thought it has weakened the strength and binned the helmet.

[Thaibiker85]

nice mod dude.

[Itsreload]

I have been thinking about how my new helmet would fit the camera. Some people always assume I am staring at the ground. It's the camera angle! I will probably be playing around with this the most. Gave me some Ideas.

[Spencerian]

itsreload - yeah, when I was riding the Suzuki DRZ400, I was upright, so it looked like my head was pointing down. I guess it depends on the bike position you have. My helmet is mostly for sportbikes with the leaning forward position.

[BigRayH]

Thanks for posting the vid, Rob, I'm going to attempt o modify mine next week.

[Spencerian]

Checkout the youtube groups called v570. You can access the group from my page, and in the top middle, you can see a link that says GROUPS. There are others that have posted their helmet modification videos up.

[6EvuK9]

very cool setup

i need to do something like this for mine

im getting too much shakiness with my camera

[Spencerian]

6evuk9 - mounting the camera on the bike usually gets a lot of shakiness, especially on bumpy roads. The neck dampens a lot of loading.

[Spencerian]

havedogwillscooter - the glasses is home made. I made it out of a bicycle spoke and cannibalized prescription glasses.

[billmaa]

When I saw your set up in person, I was amazed at how clever it was...I'm glad you reposted, it's fun to see that "Rob school of design stuff " =)

[abysal311]

that is an awesome idea with the tape / tab button! great setup man.

[ClTIZEN]

awesome setup!

[theSMYRNAcowboy]

Great job as always.

[raysboatworks]

that looks like an awesome set up bra!!

[DashTube1]

Wow, Rob that\s a great modification, I wish I did that to mine, I can see fine and dandy with my helmet but it's pointing in the wrong direction. (To the ground).

[Spencerian]

DashTube1 - yeah, you have to tip the camera so that it's level and you don't get too much ground or too much sky.

[Iroquois14]

Thats also what I did. I got sick of the blind spot.

[DaveNorris666]

The way you say button is funny ^^

Nah, I'm just messing, cool glasses in the helmet tho... Need to get me one of those. Was that made by you or can you buy it somewhere?

[sunnyjason]

what, that's glasses in the helmet?

[Spencerian]

sunnyjason - yeah, those are home-made glasses.

[motard86tazer]

man why doesn't kodak make the 570 or 705 anymore? i went to bestbuy a while back and saw they didn't have any there. i thought they sold tons of those. anyway, nice new setup!
