Perfect timing! Excellent advice as always, Andy.
Cheers OTR! Happy it helps! 😆
Brilliant, mate! Well done and thanks for saving me a lot of time fussing with my own RPHA 70 ST and Cardo Packtalk Slim install.
For guys like me new in this domain your video was spot on, learn a lot of things in just a few minutes. Thanks, subscribed. Keep up the good work, and ride safe.
Thanks Andrei, welcome to the team!
Good job Andy, I really enjoyed your video. You performed that operation flawlessly!!
Cheers Larry! Every now and again, things go according to plan! 😆
Hey, this is a great video. Entertaining and informative even though I don't have the helmet or a Cardo system I watched right till the end. Well done and a BIG thumbs up.
Thanks Kym! Much appreciated!
That looks mega with the silver visor. Looking forward to the upcoming videos
Cheers BBB. It is rather tasty isn't it! I'm looking forward to getting out there and making them mate!
Thanks for sharing again Andy, very helpful for the camera fixing people among us 👍
My pleasure Phil. Happy to share!
Good helmet set up video, you made it look so easy, the head phone cut outs on the HJC are well made so you have some adjustability. Glad to see you back after the op
Thanks Simon. It is a well put together lid. Especially for the price! (I paid 280€)
Great video. I just bought the HJC RPHA 70 ST Sampra last month. Love the very snug fit and i also plan a
on buying the cardo packtalk slim. This walkthrough will help out alot. Thank you for making this vid.
My pleasure entirely! Happy to help and cheers for watching!
Awesome video! This is what I needed to see.
What a brilliant step by step guide...Proper job
Thanks very much Ade!
Well-done! I've been using this helmet/BT comm combo over the last two years and absolutely love it. (Same color, too.) Once you've experienced using Cardo's voice-controlled system, there's no going back. Hope you get on well with it.
Very good to hear that! Thanks Barrett!
Very slick helmet setup 👌🏻 That silver visor is just 😍
Cheers Roy. I totally agree. Silver is as good as it gets!
BRUH.... The moldable adhesive to affix the GoPro to your helmet was brilliant. Gives me some inspiration to solve the same issue I'm having with an ADV helmet. Thanks for the help!
Super helpful you did a great job with explaining everything. And had a couple great laughs! Thank you!!
Many thanks! Glad to have helped!
Nice vid , great setup ...loved the sound affects at 4:23 ;) ..
Cheers Yoni! 👍🏻
Top video Andy! I pick up a RPHA 70 this week and I'm planning to get a Packtalk Bold so this all very helpful stuff thanks 😁
Wicked video. Beyond easy to follow along. Thx
My pleasure John. Thanks for stopping in! 👍🏻
Great video. Learned a lot and had some laughs. Keep it up.
Cheers mate, glad to have been of service!
Cracking 👍 Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for allowing us all to see your beautiful shiny helmet 🤨
Cheers mate! My pleasure entirely. Hope it wasn't too dazzly...
@@AndyManCam Ooh matron
Liked your to the point concise style...Enjoyed the bit about mounting of the gopro...Thumbs up & subscribed 👍🏼
Cheers very much! Thanks for the sub and welcome aboard!
Great vid, delightful sense of humour.
Cheers very much KM! 🙏🏻
As always, a good entertaining video Andy 👍👍
Cheers Chris. Glad you enjoyed it
Great video - this helped me tremendously in my setup, thank you!
My pleasure Wendy. Happy to help!
Clear precise explanation 👍
I like that set up, very neat indeed.
Great video, thanks for posting 👍
Thanks Andrew. It's definitely the sleekest setup I've had so far. Probably a little bit of improvement to be made too!
Exemplary Video Andy thanks for taking the time to Do this video and share with all of us ,I think this HJC helmet is a Really Great helmet .
My pleasure Brett! Thanks for watching!
I love your helmet set up, great video!
Many thanks Ronald. It served me well, but I’ll be renewing the Setup soon with the RPHA 90S. 👍🏻
Good werks AMC. Nice looking lid. And I learned something about pin locks too !
Cheers muchling! Happy to have anything to give!
Looks ossummmm 👌
Get well soon 🤞 exiting to see how the new lid setup works in practice
Cheers! You can see it in the last two vids! Bit of timeline shuffling going on here! 😁
Great video, Andy. Very intrigued with the Sugru... may have to try that. Thanks!
Thanks John. Sugru is well worth a look! Once you've tried it, your life is never the same again!
Hello.. seriously excellent and very informative video,great job!!! Thank you
Thanks very much BB1! Cheers for watching!
Excellent Vid, great content well produced
Cheers! Much appreciated!
The RPHA70 was on my shortlist for new helmet and has now shot to the top of the list! I use a Cardo Freecom 2+ and the recesses in my AGV K3 SV are too far back so, the speakers dig into the cartilage of my ears, very uncomfortable on long rides. Thank you for the informative video showing interior of helmet, visor and pinlock fitting.
Thanks Matthew, my pleasure!
Very entertaining, indeed! And a good job, congrats! :)
Excellent video I had a GT air 2 With the air vent exactly like your old helmet. I didn’t worry about it that stuff is absolutely marvellous I’ve put it just above the air vent on the bottom and when I clicked it down to open the vent I left it for about half an hour and then slowly clicked it up leaving a groove I got a very sharp instrument to scrape off the wet mould plasticine from the air vent and used a baby wipe to clean it up where it was shiny
Dave
That’s a great tip! It is awesome stuff! I almost want to get a new lid so i can try some more stuff out!! 😆
Nice helmet drive safe. Can't wait to see your new adventures with it.
Thanks Rory. You and me both!
Just picked this HJC helmet up with the marvel wolverine paint scheme and absolutely love it.
Very nice. Enjoy!
Awesome video Buddy 📹 👏
Thank you kindly!
Great video, Thanks kindly!
Excellently detailed and easy to follow for fools like me. Thanks Andy 😁
Thanks mate! Happy to be of service!
Nice setup and informative video. When you had your flat cap on at the beginning I half expected to see a whippet sitting next to you....
Cheers MGman. Either that or that I was suddenly going to nip into the garage and start fixing up an old steam train!
Wow! This has helped me a lot thank you!
Great vid Andy
Thanks very much THB!
Tidy job Andy, the new lid looks the part 👌🏻
Many thanks Trevor 👍🏻
decided to set a pin-lock after your video.
it was challenging so i have to re-watch the pin-lock part again :)
They’re well worth setting right. Absolute game changer when the weather isn’t ideal!
Best helmet video I've seen all day🤣🤣
Thanks Ian. How many helmet videos do you tend to get in, on a normal day? 🤣
Can u remove the Ukraine colours please?
NO, universal support for Ukraine
Why? Has the situation changed? Has the fighting stopped? Has the energy crisis been resolved?
@@AndyManCam I am from Ukraine and I tell u take off.U have no idea what's going on.Check how much cost one kWh to make and check for how is selling...ok?Or I take to see people from there and u will see ok?!
Great video, I have the same helmet and currently have my GoPro mounted on the side, this is key to getting it upfront thank you!
Up front for the win IMHO! 🙌🏻
Thank you for walking through this step by step. Curious to hear how you like the cardo unit.
My pleasure! More testing needed, but early signs mostly good!
Looking slick there, my friend! I love a silver visor! Bit gutted that my Spartan Carbon GT doesn't have one, but coming round slowly to the Iridium one. Good to see your chops, mate. Cracking vid.
Thanks RV. Yeah, gotta love a silver one! Little bit 80's, but who cares when you look that cool! 😆
Thanks for the Sugru tip! I have an AGV helmet and was trying to figure out how to mount my GoPro in the center
My pleasure! Happy moulding!
Thanks AMC again for a good one - And I'm actually just about to by a new helmet. Now I know which one ( if it fits my head ) and since I already have the Cardo Slim I also now know that it fits ;)
Very happy to help you decide! 👍🏻 So far I'm really happy with the setup. Just hope that my newly shaped ear still fits in there!! 🤣
Great vid. Lots of useful hints and tips. Never been brave enough to rip the liner out of a helmet but will do in the future 👍🤔😊
Cheers TB. It's a lot easier than it seems. No voodoo required, I promise!
@@AndyManCam I’ve never been shortened to TB. I like 👍😜
You're very welcome! 😜
This video popped up at the perfect time, I'm due a new helmet and I'm seriously considering the RPHA 70.
It's well worth considering. The choice of colours is astonishing.
Nice video shows a lot and a reasonable easy install the new lid looks killer Andy stay safe just herd Germany has gone back into lockdown again 😔👍
Thanks Dale. Just the addition of a 21:00 curfew for us. No real drama as all the pubs, shops and restaurants are closed anyway!
Great setup 😊
Thanks! 😊
Fantastic, really enjoyed the video, very helpful, just bought the same helmet in Carbon, Orange.
Cheers Gary. Happy to help. Enjoy the super light lid!
@@AndyManCamcheers, I also have the same comms as you put in, perfect.
Almost like the video was made for you! 😉
Awesome video, mate! I've got pretty much the same setup, apart from helmet brand (Shoei GT Air) and a clear visor (which I will probably switch out for a silver tinted visor now, because THAT looks really good). Great tip for the microphone. I'm using an even cheaper noname mic with just the standard foam-ish wind muff. Gonna replace the muff with a deadcat to reduce noise spikes, which is currently an issue for me.
Hello nice to see you Andy, what a lovely helmet you have! Still struggling with my setup. Tea pot one has been coaching me so hopefully get there soon!
Oooh matron! It’s a trial and error affair I’m afraid.
Top pot? Tea pot? Toss.... 😂 No offence Bruce 😅
@@AndyManCam if they take are taking the piss out of me, they are not taking it out of someone else! 😄
Looks good! Hopefully you recovered from your surgery 😎👍
Cheers Garth. The healing is coming along nicely thanks mate! 👍🏻
Brilliant timing Andy. Just invested in a GoPro and mic adaptor brick type thing and was contemplating where to mount it all on my RHPA. Looks like I'll be investing in some Sugru then.
Perfect timing indeed! Happy to help mate! Apparently you can do it with a curved mount. But you'd have to be very trusting of that small contact patch!
Nice jobs Andy 👌
Thank you JF! Cheers!
Good video fella
Well edited - no faff and filler
Nice
Cheers Nigel. Well, except for the Lego bit! 😜
@@AndyManCam Lego is not a faff
End of argument
:)
AGREED! If only more people felt that way, I could do more Lego videos! 😆
I like your helmet Sir, tidy as a slim tidy one. Ride safe
Cushdy rig that Andy, Well tidy ! Looking forward to the mic, mic, speakers, camera and Pinlock adjustment blooper real !! 😆😂
Cheers Ricky! Would you be disappointed in me if i said that everything went according to plan?!
Neat Job Andy
Thanks Norrie 👍🏻
Interesting video Andy. Glad I don't have the faff of setting up a camera. The packtalk looks usable. Ride safe.
Cameras are a massive faff! Sadly vital for what I do! 😆 The best thing for me so far about the PT Slim is that it catches no wind and the weight at the back balances way nicer than at the side.
ha, have the same helmet intercom combo :) they fit and work really well togheter. And tnx for the how to on the gopro, if I ever want to attach one in the future. Ride safe
My pleasure! Cheers for watching!
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Nice vid mate...
Never heard of Sugru before. Fascinating stuff. Now I am in search of a problem that I can solve with it.
As soon as you start looking, there are LOADS of things that didn't even need fixing before!! I've got it strengthening cables, holding cables, as speaker feet, as bump stops, grip upgrades....
Nice neat set up Andy have just got a new HJC I70 For myself and need the scaffolding to mount my GoPro 8 still testing the Camera Angles but happy with the Audio so far . Enjoy the new set up
Cheers mate! Enjoy the wonders of camera fiddling and hope you find a good angle sooner rather than later! !
Great helmet, i have it for 2 years,in coptic graphics
So far, I totally agree! I need more miles to be sure though! 😜
EPIC 4:23 !!! 😀😀😀
Besides, great video, informative and entertaining, thanks...
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!
Hi Andy, great video. Just found your channel. About to start vlogging my adventures here in Germany as well. Nice to know there are other Brits on Bikes in northern Germany as well.
We’re a unique and exotic breed! Welcome to the Team! 😉
Superb insight from start to finish. Be good to see how the mic fairs with wind noise, the Bain of my life. Sugru what an invention.. Is that an invention? creation maybe..,dunno but great anyway. How anyone can give this a thumbs down baffles me. Perfect video buddy. 👍👍👍
Thumbs down are just a part of the landscape! Without them, the ups wouldn't be so rewarding! 😜 On first testing, sadly there was a bit too much wind noise. I'm going to try it with the mic actually stuffed into the cheekpad and further away from the bottom next time.
Hi Andy, hope your hop went well and your recovered . Great vid and interesting
Thanks Paul 👍 All healing well cheers.
Grouse video bloke, best helmet instal I’ve come across. I’ll give you fiddy to fit mine out.
Thanks very much Simon! That could be a good business model! 😉 Sadly I hate doing it just as much as you do!! 😆
This will be my next helmet.
Nice job.
Thanks very much Bryan!
- The fact that you farted at 04:22 is going to make it so shareable. Great Video .
Same question hahahhahaha
Haha! It was a censoring digital flatulence deployment.
Thanks for introducing me to sugru!
My pleasure entirely! Happy sugru-ing!
You are best of the best thank you.
My pleasure! Thank you!
Think sales of Sugru are about to go through the roof, I hadn't heard of it but definitely going to invest now. Set up looks sleek and new lid looks ready for some big miles. See you out there soon
Haha! I'm sure they'll be very happy! It's handy stuff just to have around the house TBH! I've always got some!
Just and FYI, RideTech Moto make a nice 3D printed GoPro mount made specifically for the RPHA 70ST helmet. It even comes prepared with the 3M VHT tape ready to stick. I'm using one on my 70ST and it's a really good solution and no need to mold the Sugru.
COuld be worth a look in the future. FOr now, the Sugru is providing the lowest profile solution and holding fast!
Got Rpha 70 for two years now, I like it a lot, great aerodynamics, good thing for a naked bike. Only minus is quite narrow visor. For go pro I use dedicated 3D printed central mount, costs like 10€.. don't cover any vents. I would paste a picture here but I cant do that :D
That's very good to know, thanks! The narrowness of the visor doesn't bother me too much top to bottom and the width seems pretty good for a 'normal' full face. I considered the 3D printed options too, but decided to go with what was already sitting in the fridge and waiting for a project! 😁
Hey Dan that's a very slick set up ya got their impressive liking the HJC helmet to especially the visor removal and reattachment
my Arai is a pain to change i've only manage it twice and now it will not have it at all . cheers : D
Cheers Marcus. The quickchange is brilliant! Andy.
Great set up mate ,I have 2 hjc helmets one is the cheaper cs-15 I use on my short commute and I have just purchased a Rapha 70 for more touring longer journeys and find them good comfy and stylish lids,the one negative I have with both is that when I take the helmet off I'am left with a red horizontal mark on my forehead from the inner lining,it usually goes away after about 10 minutes or so,if hjc had designed the liner a bit better the helmet would be perfect,cheers.
Cheers MM. Yeah I get the imprints on the head too. Because of my lack of hair, after a long ride it looks like I've got camel toe on my head!! 😆
Solid guide video and great looking setup. I've got an RPHA 11 & cardo-slim myself, its a great combo. I also went the custom chin mount route, I've done them several times for myself & my friends using masking tape & 3m mount tape (removable if needed that way). Appreciated the fridge tip, just a heads up for future tho, pretty sure Sugru is epoxy putty which is toxic. Not something u wanna get on your skin. That said, ur mount came out super clean. Nice job✌
Thanks Brian. HJC are doing great work lately! Thankfully Sugru says the ingredients are safe enough even for prolonged exposure to the skin. So no worries about my fingers falling off any time soon! Well, not because of Sugru, anyway...
@@AndyManCam To clarify, the masking tape is just temporary for making the mold. That's actually good to know about the Sugru, I think I'll try it out next time. It's tough to shape the epoxy as smooth as u got the Sugru when wearing gloves. Wish I could get away without using the tape but I like going to the track & although it's no prob @ my local, I've been told that some won't allow any mounts, cams or mods to ur safety gear. Anyway, tthx &great vid ✌
@@AndyManCam Btw, don't u think its bizarre that custom helmet mounts aren't all over amazon/ revzilla etc? Especially considering that almost every rider Macgyver's some kind of cam mount on their helmets these days. Seems like it would be a no-brainer to me...
It certainly seems like they're proliferating all over eBay though. I've seen at least 5 different designs for the RPHA 70. I just preferred to use the materials that I already had to hand!
I wish I had saw this video on how to install a pinlock years ago. Lost count of the amount of times I've pinged the visor or pinlock insert across the room trying to get a flush fit lol
Haha! Sorry it took me so long! But NOW you know!! 😂
Sugru is great stuff, I use it for my chin mounts too and once it's on there you can pick the whole helmet up by the camera if you really want to. In my last crash I ground the camera down the road as I slid and it didn't budge.
Minor point with the vid though, I personally found the yoyo music volume a bit offputting, just a level low volume would be preferable for me rather than boosting every time you pause for breath. Minor ting though
It really is good stuff. I personally see it the other way around. I don’t like when the narrator in a video stops talking, and the music remains inaudible. Personal taste i suppose.
Excellent video and HJC ought to use it in their adverts. After paying you a little commission for your troubles of course...
Thanks Kevin! That would be nice! They didn't seem all that interested in my last review. 🥺
Thanks f.. r this info sir.. I like your helmet..
Andy, Another great vid. I use a ProShot GoPro mount on my helmit, Best thing out there id say :)
Very good. Glad you've found a solution that you'Re happy with mate!
Ah “Master of LEGO” The yellow of the 90 when well with the textile suit, The new helmet looks “The dogs” Thanks for another well put together tutorial, you never know one day I might move into the world of technology and not have to stop to answer my phone!!
Thanks Ron, my pleasure and cheers for the eyeballs. The Grey definitely goes better with the more muted tones of the green/black textiles! Yellow wasn't the right colour for my complexion! 😜
Compared with earlier versions, I find the “sleeker” RPHA 70 is more than challenging to wear with glasses and next to impossible with thicker “protective” riding classes. Anyone else out there have a similar experience?
That's a shame. Sorry I can't comment as I haven't reached glasses state yet. But at 40, I'm sure it'll be along soon enough! Hopefully I'll have moved on to a more accommodating lid by then!! 😆
Run the speaker cable over the top of your head _under the lining_ as, usually, one of the antennas is in that cable so better range. Well, that's the theory... 😀
Don't forget the white reflective stickers if you're visiting France. (That'll screw up the nice looks of the helmet)
I would be inclined to believe that the antenna is in the blade that slides into the helmet. It seems a bit over-wide and thick for the purpose it performs. In any case, first test of the intercom with TLR showed no problems with range, so that's good. I'd also be worried about the cable over the top causing some discomfort. YOu know the story of the princess and the pea? that's my head!
@@AndyManCam The stubby aerial is for the Bluetooth and Mesh system. The aerial for the radio is usually in the speaker cable. If you don't use the radio then it's not necessary.
Yeah, it was something I only found out about very recently and now my radio reception is much better.
Roger. Yeah it's not something I tend to use very much. Not that interested in German radio TBH!
I just realized i have the same table. Gotta love the ikea😜
Absolutely! That table is scheduled for some real wood revamping soon though! 😉
You should drill holes in the clip to keep the vent working.
Could help when the camera isn't on, but then I don't ride very often without a camera, so it probably wouldn't help very much. Plus larger round holes tend to whistle in the wind. TBH that vent is a bit pointless in my opinion as it's so close to the wide open bottom of the helmet anyway!
Mantap
