Sena Prism Tube - The Perfect Helmet Camera? : REVIEW
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 ธ.ค. 2024
- The Sena Prism was the first helmet camera to bring true bluetooth connectivity to action cameras. Now Sena release the Prism Tube - a smaller, sleeker, more aerodynamic, cut down version of the Prism. With fewer features and quick, non-stop action recording, along with an external microphone and speaker, is this the perfect helmet camera, and a Motor Vloggers dream??
Lets take a look!

I will be getting this... im not going to be moto vlogging but I just want to record my rides incase of an accident or funny moment. I think this camera will be perfect for this.
4:30 Third best feature and a big deal for me is that this is 125 degrees,
not the horrible 170 fisheye FOV.
3:55 External mic option is the second best feature of this camera, all sports cams,
dash cams should have this feature otherwise the audio is horrible over 20 mph.
Mounting the sena tube camera to a motorcycle helmet, means you can only film things that are on the left side if you mount the camera on the left and straight ahead. unless you have a flexible neck like Linda Blair, you’re not going to be able to film things on the opposite side of your helmet from where you mount the camera.. sort of like keeping one eye closed while riding your motorcycle..
I have come up with a way to mount the camera on top of the helmet.. The prism camera fits nicely into a microphone holder for a public speaking type or a rock band that has microphones mounted for the musicians. This camera fits nicely into one of those microphone mounts. It snaps into that cradle, almost exactly like it snaps into the factory issued cradle that screws onto the side of the helmet..
The microphone adapter that I have also has an adjustable microphone mount attached to a section of the holder that would screw onto the top of a broomstick or a microphone stand. For doing selfies
Good points and great idea!
2:20 NO OTHER OPTIONS? !!!! This is what I need, simple, you never have to guess if
its on or off. Perfect for me..
will it sync up w/the Sena 20s?
Besides Jarvish is there any other helmet brand which has rear camera fitted on helmet.?
The speaker and mic will be difficult to implement on helmets with com systems installed. The battery life is not great and the price is a bit steep. I'd consider the Ghost X over this.
I love mine had it for 4 months its great
Are there accessories to attach this to a bike handlebar mount like GoPro?
thing you have to ask is. do you have to cut the inside padding of the crash helmet to make the bolt on bracket fit
Does the Prism record voice from the other Sena user that you're connected to?
We were thinking why not use the cameras lens. akin to small 1080p web cam with stabilizer & connected it to a laptop in ya backpack plus if ya need laptop charging plug it into ya bike plus if ya want longer rides with more footage ya just add a bigger external hard drive for storage.
Good review. One suggestion. Show video at higher speeds. A lot of input might change the video quality.
How does this work with existing Sena bluetooth headsets? I already have speakers in my helmet and a mic from my Sena 3S.
Paul Valas it doesnt pair with sena headsets like the previous version. Dont have a bluetooth feature to do so
I just bought one.
Took a couple of vids, when I uploaded them they weren't right.
Here's what I mean..
1. I took a 2 minute video, it only recorded some of the end of the video, none of the beginning was there.
2. One of them I took a ride on my Grom, it recorded most of it but not the last 2 minutes so no ending to the video.
Not sure what I'll do.
Maybe the SD Scan Disk card is either bad or doesn't work well with the Prism.
The video that was recorded was very nice, audio was very nice.
Still a recommended camera? Seems many helmet camera makers have bit the dust. Other than GoPro and a few Chinese GoPro copies, the market is bare. Why aren't there more options available?
Honestly, if it were for side helmet cam the bullet cams like this Sena or the DogCam Bullet HD2 (th-cam.com/video/br2fi_sLN2I/w-d-xo.html) are great. Although if you have the budget the Sony cameras are awesome, and also well shaped for side helmet mounting....
Hi can it be hard wired to a battery pack for longer recording times?? Thanks
is this available in pakistan
This is now a very old model....
I mean like this available
If there is an incident how do i se my videos right away? Can i connect to my cellphone?
my android takes the mini sd card so yes
Well done! Now do I buy now or wait for the upgrade with GPS, 60fps, longer battery life, bigger cards.... LOL!
How do you think the footage would becat 30fps on a fast paced motirbike in the woods. Would the footage be blury?
Can you advise if the external mic will work on open-face helmets? If not, can you suggest a mic that would?
I wish the updated this to have better quality. This is the best motorcycle action cam, but where it matters the most (image quality) it lacks the most.
nice review, equal with 190 USD in Indonesia
whats that helmet in the video called?
I was thinking about getting one of these as a record only on rides. I don't really motovlog anymore so not worried about audio.
I cant get sound to play on videos unless i use VLC player. Any idea?
You should include a date in your title so people know how recent your video is
What would you say are top three helmet cameras, I just bought a VEHO MUVI K-2 NPNG
Can I connect the Bluetooth speaker to my phone?
Thanks Ifti for another great review.
Just a few questions, can the unit be used while charging?
How does one line up the horizon or line up the lens before recording?
Even though I have the SENA S20 and S10 units I believe that Go Pro and the clones are better than this unit with no WiFi connection and limited battery life.
Cheers Kym
One would have to keep the rear cap removed to charge while using, which wouldn't be too practical. When it comes to lining up the camera, the power sliding switch needs to face directly upwards for the lens to be correctly level.
would this be a good choice for playing paintball and recording ?
Maybe I missed it, but there was no mention of what resolution it records at. I only heard something about 30fps
1080p - its at the 2:00 mark in the video ;o)
how long can you video before batt needs recharging
Nice review,but how long does it record for,what size sd card can it take,does it perform loop record,and can I add an external battery pack. All these functions are available on the Drift stealth 2 which is one of the main contenders for this camera.
hmm, the stealth is more than $100 over the Sena and is twice as big, who wants to ride with a brick attached to the helmet?
can this camera be mounted on top of a helmet or only on the side?
wich helmet are you showing in the viedeo??
Want to purchase this but what about the left hand side position installed of my intercome system.
You can mount the camera on either side of your helmet.
Great review....do you think it could be used for dual sport riding and filming some off roading riding. Nothing crazy. Single track trails, wheelies etc. Do you think the Sony AS100V would do a better job?
Pentru ce se foloseste
Tell me about price and Inco term which you like to export usually its through DDP
Is the camera auto loop recording?
I'm going to be working on getting 3 or 4 of these to mount on my bike. At $125US each, they will allow me to have a really nice & affordable multi-cam motovlogging set up. :-)
anyone knows what is the helmet in the video?
I'll get you the exact name - cant remember off hand!
So when you have the external mic connected you cant charge the unit ? pretty crap for those long bike journeys
The best design for motovlogging so far. But the question is: do you want to use it for moto vlogging only? I'm not. Unfortunately it lacks some features to make it an allround action cam like other GoPro clones - like photo mode, 60 fps, better stabilization, different mounts, wifi connectivity, to name a few. If those could be integreted in this kind of design (slightly bigger would't be a problem), Sena 'd have a real winner.
Would this be great for paintball?
Yes, would be fine
Great thanks im gonna get one now
How did you get rid of the wind noise. Mine has a lot of noise and I tried everything.. no luck...thanks
Hi Greg,
What most motovloggers do (the ones with good content like RoyalJordanian) is putting an external audio recorder like the Zoom H1 in the storage beneath your saddle. It records audio much sharper and clearer than the standard mics in action cams will ever be able to. Please note that adding one of those is an extra $100,- expense on average. You might also want to consider good (paid for) video editing software to line up the audio with the footage. That's usually done with clapping your hands or using your horn while recording audio and video simultaneously, so you´ll have a point in both to match the audio with the footage. Does this answer suffice?
Kind regards,

Fill mem well fadt have I not done somethink right in the settings
how is order this cam
im having major issues with the mic being way to sensitive
any tips its so bad it blows the sound out when i talk or anything
You can change the setting for the mic, it’s a text file on the SD card you have to edit.
@@skipintroux4444 it was a faulty mic
Thanks for review! I guess this will be my first unit.
im getting a Honda Fourtrax 300 soon and this can be good just in case
How much and how to order - Philippines
What drunk put down the road lines?
Can you use a different microphone?
I can't view my filmed .MOV files. Whatever I do, they always seem corrupted?
Ohno0es did u format the sd card first?
The concept is good but the functionality just isn't there. I originally thought of getting one of these to compliment my 2 sony 4k action cams as they are a fair sized lump for helmet mounting but the Sena settings aren't compatible with the Sony codecs for a multi cam presentation. Pity.
Thanks for the review, just bought one after seeing this. 👍🏻
ronnie tarraran how is the camera working and how does it feel on the helmet?
EASTCAMDEN4LIFE great camera, don't even feel it on the helmet , no wind drag works a treat👍
Can you tell me where can i buy it ?
Hi sir, I'm from india and just want to know where should I buy this its not available in india, if possible sent me the link. Thank you, very nice video...
This is an older unit now, I believe they have newer versions available - check the Sena website ;o)
Can you record and charge at the same time?
+Dega Jago almost every action camera can do that
Josh Halterman drift ghost s can do record while charging
No it only has 1 port for mic and if you screw the housing off the back to charge on the go it won't be water proof. Mayb an adapter will sort this but unlikely to record audio and charge at the same time.
Good review and def one I will consider after this review. I’m looking at this or similar against ghost camera.
Thanks
Modell??
How do you know when its fully charged?
Daniel Toole im guesing the LED on the back end changes color.
This item water proof or not
Great video, thank you. I think I will buy one.
Why can’t they make wireless audio & voice over control of video capture..
where can get this?
how can i buy this item in kolkata, india ?
you need to import this go check "vikas rachamala" channel he is indian motovloger n he had reviewed this product....
ya , already checked ..... thats why i want to buy .... but came to know that this product available in USA only
i have sena prism for past 3 years. Battery life is just horrible. in 3 years i replaced the battery 3times already
Es para los dos lados del casco
Video quality on par with other cameras in the market is the claim. But you fail to mention the premium price for less features this has. You are paying in part for the brand name.
Really You Made My Day... This Is The Product For What I Was Looking Around.... But What's The Cost ???
its around 150$ with accessories
Will the clamp connect to a cyclists helmet.?
Kalau pesan kayak gini diimana ya
The description and comments are far to fast, I had to play it five times.
It WOULD be the best. If it actually had good video stabilisation
The camera is pretty good. The mounting system sucks balls. It always breaks. I have gone through 3 of the mounting clips in about 3 weeks. They suck. I am going to try glueing them together.
you have the glued clip, just stick it from your helmet is very hard to come off, I ride with 210km/h and I didn't lost the camera.
It’s great but side cam not great idea
Can I hook this up to a phone and record calls?
Cool
Kinda cool, but mounting from the side has too much helmet in the frame, dead center of the the rider is far more pleasing to the eye, also not having the ability to mount it anywhere on the bike limits the ability to make a visually interesting video.
720p at 60 fps prefered.
Hamen helmet chahie yah kitne ka price hoga Kushinagar Uttar Pradesh
I thought i was listening NEWS 😂😂😂😂
good camera sena i wont 1
The best one.
yes and it only films one side unless you have a head like an owl
wow
In india someone will definitely snatch it and runaway at a traffic signal. 😂
In Brazil you would get killed and the camera stolen.
Don't feel bad, in Detroit, chicago, Washington DC, Memphis, Birmingham, Baltimore and all other democrat run dumps you will get SHOT walk I g down the street, then the democrat/communist mayor's and DAs will not prosecute the thug criminals. Be so glad there are no democrat/communists in your country.
I had one and it was awful. Nigjtmare from day one getting it to work with sd cards and pc. Sena technical support was an absolute joke. When I got it replaced and finally set up the mic died after a few months and eventually the thing slipped off its mount and disappeared somewhere on the m6. I'll never buy from Sena again.

It's pronounced "Toob" not "Tyoob"
Shame you cant use it connected directly to a power supply. (seems this is a problem with most bike helmet cams) Grrrr

🛎️Thank you so much
Mounting clamp is shite!! No where near wide enough to fit securely on to the helmet.had to use 20mm spacers then find longer bolts to then fit it.i think it was designed by some clown who has never tried to fit it himself.
this review was veeery repetitive. just saying
Sena remains clueless. We don't side mount. Only idiots side mount. We chin mount. Front mount. Bluetooth to connect to our headset would've been nice. This is another mic & earpiece to install. No thanks. Barrel style cameras are also a no go.
Ive seen tons of people side mount, or even mount on to the top of the helmet! I actually prefer a side mount rather then on my chin to be honest. Guess it comes down to personal preference.
and some morons use it in the chin.
The nice thing about being stupid is you don't realize your stupid...are you stupid? I didn't think so.
"We" chin mount, because the best video quality camera at this moment is a freaking rectangle, that looks out of place mounted on the side of a helmet.
It is very smart to wear a block in front of your air vents, thus blocking the airflow, genius.
Aight good luck doing that with a flip up helmet
After you slide to on, it automaticly record or not?
yes, just give it like 3 seconds and it's recording.
Can it be charged at the same time as used?
