There's always a battle for the best drive wheels and the competition is great for us consumers. The assembly and setup is a little bit complicated for a guy like me. Economical and a massive upgrade from the Logitech. Well reviewed here. like 182
Thanks bro
C5! Loved the video man, I’ve got a g920 and I feel like this would be an awesome upgrade
❤️
@crudwater660 I also have a g920, and I was looking to make the upgrade to this, did you ever buy this and if so is it worth it / better than a g920? Thanks
I also got it for testing and good surprise in build quality and ffb. Good entry level dd for beginners or occasional players
I really didn't expect it to be this good, they've done pretty well
C5!!!!! Great review. Subbed :)
❤️
wow. thank you for the review!
❤️
@@GeekStreet i literally just started diving into sim racing and i have the g29. looked at possible upgrade options in the future, but yeah, the prices are so shockingly steep for me, so expensive. and this is definitely a good upgrade option!
I've been on the fence a while about getting back into sim racing, but since this thing exists... It costs as much as the Sparco rim I have for my T300! Absolutely insane what's come out in the last years.
I literally just went to buy this on it's first selling day here in the US....and didn't do it. It was $299 US with a pedal set, $329 with a table clamp added in. Sounds great, right? Then I went to check out and shipping from Wherever in China this ships from to the Bronx, NY USA and it added a whopping $114.00 to the total...!! That brought this combo to nearly $450 delivered (and I should add that delivered date was as up in the air as it gets, 14-20 days or more).
Fanatec has had for a few days now their CSL DD 5Nm bundle with base, pedals and a either their standard P1 v2 wheel or their BMW branded wheel (the same as the P1 with nicer graphics) for the same price = $399 US, $429 with a table clamp. Even with Fanatec charging $54 for shipping it's simply a better deal all around than the C5. I'm actually kinda pissed off about the ridiculous shipping charge for the C5 as I was really looking forward to getting it. But now I'm getting the Fanatec bundle instead as it has multiple upgrade paths (steering wheel/Boost pack) where the C5 has none. They really need to fix the shipping issue and fast if they want to compete here!
Wow I'm shocked, thanks for sharing your experience hopefully it will help others.
Yeah im smack in the center of the u.s. and its $106 for me, so because of that i wont be buying it. I was really looking forward to it too
@@joeschmoe5009 I don't live in US, so don't quote me on this, but I saw a video that claims you can get a Camus C5 at Microcenter. I hope that helps.
@@ahmedabdo13 Microcenter carries moza and their r5, but no one carries cammus here, has to be direct order from cammus
I bought the C5 bundle with the desk mount. Yeah, they got me for $114.90 in shipping and my bank charged me another $12.40 to use PayPay international payment. The pedals are basically crap. They work, but not great. I ended up buying Fanatec CSL DD pedals for $79 and they are great I did have to buy Fanatec's USB adapter for another $19.95. Shipping from Cammus is SLOW! It took 21 days for mine to arrive. I do like the Cammus C5, it performs better than I expected. I only race on iracing and have yet to get the tach or speedometer to work. I'm not sure why it doesn't work. Software is up tp date. I initially was going to buy the Fanates CSL DD bundle, but on check out, they were going to charge a mandatory $54 for the first year warranty. I opted out and bought the C5, now regretting that decision. I think the Fanatec is overall a better deal and product...just my opinion.
I just purchased on today so i can get into sim racing. Thank you for your review on it.
I just purchased one today. After 10 days is your Order still showing "Processing" or has status changed to shipped or something else?
@@ysiadpir1423I purchased mine on November 27th it is still processing but i talked to cammus support and they said delivery will take time since they ran out of stock in their warehouse and they are waiting for the next batch to arrive
finally! been waiting for this wheel review👏
🤙
Looks good! What is the function of the fan though. Is pushing air into the wheel itself?
Yes seems like it, to keep it cool
cools the motor
I don't get it, what does the fan do there? Blow air to the cables???? I think I'm missing something
Will it be enough if you only fix the wheel with the table clamps?
or do you need a rig or metal plate?
would be important to know. :)
table clamps are enough
@@GeekStreet thanks🙂
C5! 😀 Ordering one as a Logitech replacement!!
Great Review Bro... "C5"
❤️
Can you deactivate the "logitech similar true force" vibrations in the software, either from Cammus or within the different sim racing games? Thanx for the detailed review
Thanks, no none of the functionality was working in the PC app when I reviewed.
How are you liking the 'C5' today? Is this your primary wheel or? have a G29 and putting together a sim rig for driving and flying and wanted to upgrade but not sure if it is worth spend a whole lot more at this point. was thinking 5nm might not be enough force or if this unit has enough resolution or feedback to keep from wanting to upgrade quickly after getting it. The ability to use the Logitech adapter and be able to use the pedals and shifter are a huge bonus. Don't know if we will run into any compatibility issues or not down the road with software titles or? was considering Fanatec ready to race setup up but really want the cis elite pedals if going that route. The Cammus upgraded pedals appear to be a nice option as well but not much info on them. The upgrade path you show my just be the "sweet spot." Any recommendations for advice having had this setup for a little while? Would you go this direction or do something different? If different what would you do?
The C5 is a good starter wheel, but its very limited obviously theres no upgrade path. If you're happy to not to upgrade it's perfect. For me personally I'd say the Fanatec CSL DD is a better option as there's more upgrade paths....especially since you can boost the power to 8Nm and change wheels etc.
@@GeekStreet Thanks!
@@knowyourjoe8826
The C5 has more power than 5 NM.
RonReviewt got 8 NM in his strengthtest.
Sorry for my English!😅
Thanks for the information! I appreciate it! @@philippehnert1578
I don't believe that, in no way did it feel like 8NM
hey mate, got a friend of mine which just got the c5, however we can't seem to figure out the ffb settings. It's being mostly used for drifting but the wheel just wont countersteer at all, if you have the solution help would be greatly appreciated
now if that wheel was fully rounded it would be dope because i really want a wheel for drifting and thats better with a fully round wheel being able to slip the wheel thru your hands and not having that flat spot on the bottom stop you
I will tell you what.. Making a mod on that rig to make it round on the bottom is gonna be the fix of the year. Duct tape or expanding foam.. easy to fix! Great video,...and a great medium duty rig.. with the right pedals
Do you need to buy the desk clamp to mount this?
Did you install the fan backwards? Shouldnt itpoint towards the hub?
Nice review! Will the wheel work on console via third party devices like drivehub or brook ras1ution?
Thank you!
I've already been in touch with Brook and there isn't plans right now
@@GeekStreet Thank you for your time!
❤️
How did you install it on the rig? Did I need to buy an adapter?
C5 cammus for the WINNN!🎉
❤️
C5! I Love Your Videos!
❤️
Thanks for the advice in the short and Great review #C5
Right before I was going to buy the 1000$ dollar Logitech pro wheel this short saved 750$😅
😅
I love the innovation and competition! I hope they come out with a console version. I'd love to see a direct comparison to the Fanatec DD 5nm. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for the suggestion.
Can I used my Logitech g920 pedals with this wheel or have to buy specific ones
Great review, C5 Vette are a great deal like this wheel.
❤️
Presumably you fan mount it to a rig with wheel plate without the desk clamp? Thanks
You can remove the clamps and use screw to attach directly to a rig.
Buenas, el sorteo también es para España?
Gracias y un saludo
Is there a way to turn off the true force style vibrations? This is very very tempting but it would be a large turn off if it is always on.
Hopefully via the app, but when I tested it the functionality was still being developed.
@@GeekStreet ah ok, I will wait a few months anyways, just to see the long term reviews, my t150 will do me in the mean time.
@@GeekStreet you sure its not just a side effect of having such a light wheel?
It could possibly be, its just very sutle not as much as the Logitech G Pro
Fanatec kill the game this week !! 399€ vat included for the CSL DD ready to race with P1 v2 steering wheel and cal 2 pedals
Yeah I sure that and price wise that's awesome! This is what more competition in the market does, what be interesting to see if Moza drops their R5 wheel.
i bought 1 today and this is my 1st wheel
@@private0nly nice!
…unless your on cosole, adding a wheel that makes it console compatible puts you up to almost $800 usd. I feel like if it’s a bundle they should only add a little bit of an up charge for the needed wheel, if the bundle normally comes with a wheel included why do I have to pay full price for a different one,, and if I have to pay the full price of a second wheel I should get the one that’s included also, not that I would need it but if I’m already paying for it..🤷🏻♂️
Too bad it’s 600 quid at where I live
can i buy that steering but the pedals im using is Thrustmaster's Pedals?
It looks really good. But I don't understand why the shifters are so small :c
I wonder if its because of the bulky design of the wheel.
I believe it’s from mounting to a normal computer desk, there wouldn’t be much room. Kind of a shame but I’m looking to upgrade from my G29 and this might just give me an excuse to grab a shifter lol
Can confirm add $114 to ship to east coast US. trying to cancel my order atm....really disappointed.
did you know the car in the background of the software is Cammus made? 😭 i was looking through their website and they developed it in 2014, chinese companies are something else man
Sarebbe interessante un confronto in termini di sensazioni alla guida con altri direct drive entry level come il fanatec 5 Nm, moza R3/5 ecc....
It would be more interesting if it came with pedals.
Can u do an unboxing of the Logitech g pro gaming keyboard
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what I can do
c5 Already on order :)
Awesome, Is this your first ever wheel or are you upgrading?
Hi pal,
Link is not for UK. Where to find it in UK?
on the website, you can see a tab where it says '' overseas warehouse'' or somethingl ike that, and from there select UK then the products you want
This wheel is cool but the shipping to the states suck
If you put a BMW sticker on a little tikes pedal car, it doesn't become a BMW. Just like Modding a G29 wont make it into a better wheel, just ends up a Crappy wheel with More plastic and fake carbon on it.
😳😳🤔😅
C5 😀
Great review cheers dude 😎
❤️
@@GeekStreet they are missing a trick with it being PC only! Would be a big seller on console IMO
would it work with a g29 shifter?
Yes with the Logitech Racing Adapter th-cam.com/video/bcOJ_iGkwKU/w-d-xo.html
I am very unhappy with Cammus' warranty service.
I purchased a C5, which developed a defect after just over 1 month of use.
Cammus sent me another unit and asked me to pay the customs duties and I paid.
Now, when it comes to refunding, Cammus is informing them that the fees are higher than they can pay.
I am really disappointed with Cammus and at this moment I am not thinking about purchasing anything else from the brand, and I will strongly recommend to the virtual pilot community that they do not buy either.
Como lo configuraste?
so, we can use g923 pedals with this ???
Yes you can check this out th-cam.com/video/bcOJ_iGkwKU/w-d-xo.html
what's the point of the fan in the wheel mount ?
To keep the direct drive motor cool if the heat levels increase.
@@GeekStreet it doesn't blow on the motor
Yeah it blow directly on there, it hits it at the side.
Thats a great review, but when you are playing on console this wheel doesn't work with playstation. If you're doing sim racing on pc you wouldn't go low budget
Wheel only?
Yes wheel only, but they have a wheel amd pedal bundle for $299
Does it work with PS5 G7 and VR2
No unfortunately PC only 😭
Too bad it's not console compatible, that would be awesome!
Logitech cryin’ in the corner
Its a shame the website is a virus buggy mess, and that once i eventually got to my cart, shipping to the u.s. is $106. Could have been a game changer, but sadly for me it is not
Will this work on an XBOX Series X?
No
Unfortunately, at this moment, there's no console support
@@GeekStreet Thank you! Do you think any adapter, like Drivehub or Brook Ras1ution, would work?
It's so new to the market so no support yet, but I wouldn't be suprised if there's an update later to get it working.
Sry should have watch the whole video first disregard last comment lmao
😅👌
C5 yo
❤️
c5, what about MacOS support?
With the M1&M2 its more and more gamers that change platform to cheaper solutions to put the Money in accessories instead ;-)
PC only unfortunately at the moment.

It all good until U realise there no pedal and have to buy it as a extra
❤❤

Is this available in india??
It looks like they do send to India - check their website link in the video description
This man has a 4 thousand dollar PC. A DD wheel, 700 dollar rig.
But uses G29 pedals. 🤔
cheapest rim not wheel theres definitely cheaper direct drive wheels that come with a base
$500 CAD and can't get only the wheel... want to send me yours?
No it’s not a good deal. Check the taxes before reviewing and update your pricing accordingly.
Works on ps4?
No PC only
Apparently the ras1lution 2 has support for this wheel now. May be worth a test if you still have it all there
@@listerofsmeg1609 thanks for letting me know! I'll see later on if I get time.
i just went to the website and this company is just starting in the sim world, they dont offer much, so IMO this is a total waste of money in comparison to the upgrade tree of EVERY other company!
bruh u got scammed with that 4800 Ram 4:40
c5
Would this work on playseat challenge chair and would it ever work on console
I don't see why not
Unfortunately, at this moment, there is no console support
@@GeekStreet thanks I got pc too so no problem
....The wheel itself looks tiny.
If it doesn’t work on console then it’s dead to me.
Not the cheapest with clamp and transport....no upgrade possible...it just sucks
Such a misleading title! The shipping costs 50% of what the unit does! Went with the Fanatec, $12 shipping, much better unit and way more room to upgrade!
Shipping was 25$ bro chill 😅
@@p04202010 Link please and I'll buy now.
@@p04202010 depends on where you live, since it ships from china shipping to the states is terrible.

Nice review. This review from a month ago mentions some vibration and gives a sound bite: th-cam.com/video/S9uCaVcqXGw/w-d-xo.html
Can you confirm is this has been addressed? It's a buy or not buy for me. Noise is horrendous.
I appreciated your showing of the clamp system btw. Thank you.
There are still vibrations but its not bad very sutle, and not bad as what was shown in that review.
@@GeekStreet Many thanks.
Its ugly, you cannot change wheels, the mount looks totaly flimsy ... but surely makes good affiliate money 🙂
Jesus, you're using a 4090 for a single monitor 2D set up? That's a little overkill. 4090's are for VR or triple screens.
Nah not overkill, I need to for reviews and hopefully planning to go over to a triple screen setup in the future.
Pros:
- cheap
- good idea/ concept
- great table clamp system
- transfarable
Cons:
- way too small paddles (even small but seems flexible a lot)
- fan (noise)
- useless cheap pedals
- useless steering wheel (rubber rim, cutted bottom part for no reason, small diameter, useless for rallying)
- no unlimited ratio (?)
- not known for game developers Lotttery that you can use it or not for a sim)
- no chance to use quick release to attach any other rim (because of the fact the rim itself the servo)
Not for consoles…..huge factor. Should be in the description, click bait.
How is the title clickbait in any way?
@@Sithhy did you read my comment?
@@robob221 There is no click bait in the title or the thumbnail. everything in the title is true, the wheel is 250$ and its a review, the title isn't misleading in any way.
I mean sure, but it's ugly
