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.

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.

Best helmet video I've seen all day🤣🤣

That looks mega with the silver visor. Looking forward to the upcoming videos

- The fact that you farted at 04:22 is going to make it so shareable. Great Video .

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.

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

Nice vid , great setup ...loved the sound affects at 4:23 ;) ..

Just picked this HJC helmet up with the marvel wolverine paint scheme and absolutely love it.

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.

decided to set a pin-lock after your video. it was challenging so i have to re-watch the pin-lock part again :)

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 .

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

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.

Good job Andy, I really enjoyed your video. You performed that operation flawlessly!!

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!

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.

This video popped up at the perfect time, I'm due a new helmet and I'm seriously considering the RPHA 70.

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.

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....

Perfect timing! Excellent advice as always, Andy.

Cracking 👍 Wishing you a speedy recovery. Thanks for allowing us all to see your beautiful shiny helmet 🤨

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

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)

Very entertaining, indeed! And a good job, congrats! :)

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!

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. 👍👍👍

I had the RPHA 70 but sent it back because it sucked so I went with the Nolan N80-8 which for me was much better . I have the Packtalk edge and the go pro 10 , but to be honest . I use the gopro very little , only use the intercom when my wife is on the bike the rest of the time I leave all the junk at home and just enjoy the riding . The JBL 45mm speakers are better than the 40mm ones that come with the bold / edge and slim by the way , I put them in mine and the difference is definitely noticeable .

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.

Grouse video bloke, best helmet instal I’ve come across. I’ll give you fiddy to fit mine out.

Thanks for sharing again Andy, very helpful for the camera fixing people among us 👍

Great vid, delightful sense of humour.

EPIC 4:23 !!! 😀😀😀 Besides, great video, informative and entertaining, thanks...

Never heard of Sugru before. Fascinating stuff. Now I am in search of a problem that I can solve with it.

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

I have the same bike, the same helmet, and the same Cardo headset. The headset was a bad choice, though. Watch what happens when you plug in the micro USB to charge it while it's on the helmet. The pressure it puts on the connecter causes so much stress internally that it will likely prematurely fail like it did with my unit. All that money down the drain in less than 2 years! We've made a video about the problem with the headset, and it will be coming out one of these months.

Very slick helmet setup 👌🏻 That silver visor is just 😍

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 😁

Excellent video and HJC ought to use it in their adverts. After paying you a little commission for your troubles of course...

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!!

Interesting video Andy. Glad I don't have the faff of setting up a camera. The packtalk looks usable. Ride safe.

What a brilliant step by step guide...Proper job

Cushdy rig that Andy, Well tidy ! Looking forward to the mic, mic, speakers, camera and Pinlock adjustment blooper real !! 😆😂

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

Great video. Learned a lot and had some laughs. Keep it up.

Tidy job Andy, the new lid looks the part 👌🏻

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.

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.

As always, a good entertaining video Andy 👍👍

Wicked video. Beyond easy to follow along. Thx

Excellently detailed and easy to follow for fools like me. Thanks Andy 😁

Super helpful you did a great job with explaining everything. And had a couple great laughs! Thank you!!

Hello.. seriously excellent and very informative video,great job!!! Thank you

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.

Great video - this helped me tremendously in my setup, thank you!

I got the same helmet man. It's awsome. I can recommend you bespoke 3d printed gopro mounts for your helmet. Looks better and easier to use. and Ulanzi case for the gopro has a place to put the mic adapter too. Its way cleaner to use.

The helmet take down operation was flatulous....uh, I mean fabulous..

Looks ossummmm 👌 Get well soon 🤞 exiting to see how the new lid setup works in practice

Andy just be careful with the USB charging socket on the Packtalk slim. They have a habit of breaking and the socket falls out. Ok if under warranty but still a pain in the arse. My broke just after the warranty expired. Common issue, but great intercom otherwise.

Fantastic, really enjoyed the video, very helpful, just bought the same helmet in Carbon, Orange.

Hi Andy, hope your hop went well and your recovered . Great vid and interesting

Liked your to the point concise style...Enjoyed the bit about mounting of the gopro...Thumbs up & subscribed 👍🏼

Great video, Andy. Very intrigued with the Sugru... may have to try that. Thanks!

I just got the Cardo dual pack because of all the videos I’ve seen on them. Went for our first ride today and man was I so disappointed. Music share would cut the music on and off and back on in both modes, sometimes there would be so much static and wind noise then the mic would blast you out of the helmet and then go very low. Voice command worked when it wanted to and the distance in mesh mode was not that great. We came back and actually took them out and installed the cheap old units that actually sounded better with less noise and static. I wanted this to work for the music share and was disappointed from the start and it just got worse through the ride.

Thank you for walking through this step by step. Curious to hear how you like the cardo unit.

Note that the JBL speakers are quite a bit larger than the stock ones. The speaker inserts in the Scorpion EXO R1 are too small for them, for example. No problems in a Shoei GT Air or Shoei NXR on the other hand. I ended up using a set of Shure 315 in-ear monitors instead of speakers. It's a bit of a faff but so far 100% worth it for me. Loads of noise dampening and clear sound. Have to run the Cardo at minimum volume in order to not blow out my ear drums, though.

Good werks AMC. Nice looking lid. And I learned something about pin locks too !

Great video! The dislikers are just haters! Keep it up bro 👍 Quick question. Can the Slim device be removed from the base?

Great helmet, i have it for 2 years,in coptic graphics

Nice helmet drive safe. Can't wait to see your new adventures with it.

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 ;)

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

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 😔👍

Awesome video! This is what I needed to see.

I like that set up, very neat indeed. Great video, thanks for posting 👍

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?

Thanks for introducing me to sugru!

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

Good video fella Well edited - no faff and filler Nice

I also have the Slim, it all goes in but just not quite as neatly as I'd like. I have an HJC modular helmet and unfortunately the boom gets in the way of the chin curtain so I've had to use the normal mic on the front of the foam which doesn't work quite so well. OK for chatting but the "Hey Cardo" function leaves me riding down the road screaming at it 🤨 Great lid setup! Lee (formally MotoDevCam

I have a the same helmet different colour, , gopro hero 8 with mic adapter , sena 10r, and everything fits inside chin guard, sena on the left adapter on the right, both inside.. except for camera. people spin out how slick everything is . I just took a dremel to a couple of gopro parts to get come angle on cam, and so it sits at the perfect angle with the top of the camera, touching the guard.. happy to email you images. it will change ur life lol

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✌

Looks good! Hopefully you recovered from your surgery 😎👍

I have exactly the same helmet, and communications unit. You will need to pull down your Cardo unit a bit when you plug in the USB connecter to charge it, otherwise it will likely fail within about two years. I’ve had two of them fail already. No longer on warranty! Good luck.

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 👍🤔😊

Thanks for the Sugru tip! I have an AGV helmet and was trying to figure out how to mount my GoPro in the center

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.

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!

I got a 3D printed gopro chin mount for my RPHA 70. Was about £20 to have it printed and shipped? Files are available on the web. Much cleaner, very strong.

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

I love your helmet set up, great video!

SO this is what Floki has got up too these days since he stopped vikining.

Clear precise explanation 👍

Even the lesser expensive hjc helmets are pretty decent, the Mrs (who ride her own bike) both use hjc with silver tinted visor, but its nice to change the visor if you get caught riding after dark (as old people we try to avoid this)! We use the packralk bold, I'm just curious if the separate battery of the slim lasts longer, maybe more capacity?

Excellent Vid, great content well produced

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

Next time you shorten a mic cable please do a video, please. Enjoyed your how to front mount custom jobbie. Sugru is magic. Take care.

You must have been confident that you would like the helmet before doing this .From experiance i found out the hard way after buying a Shark spartan gt this helmets wind noise and whistling noise at even slow speed was a nightmare .Any way thanks for doing this im sure it will help loads of folks .

You should've got a 3.5mm splitter for the Cardo mic then used the same mic for the gopro.

You should drill holes in the clip to keep the vent working.
