Definitely think if they get this thing dialed it could be a logi killer especially if they offer some pedals with it for 350ish but at 300 for that wheel and base and still needing pedals it makes the moza r5 a close competitor and the r5 is just so good

@@batzertyabc3339 good quality? That thing sounds worse than the 100$ thrustmaster wheel add ons lol. The overall build quality looks very cheap and ugly compared to some other brands, sure you’ll be paying around 300$ just for the steering wheel but usually it’s decent quality like the moza rims. This could be useful for people with limited space or tight budgets but I don’t see anyone with an entry level DD base going out and switching over to this thing.

If Logitech gonna make a successor to the G923, i.e. G925, this design is the way forward. Fanatec kicked off the more compact DD box design wheelbases which they and now Moza are releasing, followed by Logitech and Thrustmaster(with limited success imo), and Camus decided to do something innovative. Hopefully we get more cool innovations bringing DD wheelbases prices to at least $300 USD.

Thanks for the video! I've been hyped for this wheel for a while now, and there haven't been many reviews so far. I wanted to say though, considering it's a budget wheel, you should review it in a more budget friendly setup. For example, people who want the cheapest direct-drive wheel they can get probably aren't going to have racing gloves. I'm sure the leather feels fine though, what I care more about is that I doubt many people buying the wheel are going to have racing chairs with mounting brackets. I personally have a desk that has a drawer on the front with no overhang to attach the clamp to, so I don't know if the clamp is going to be able to extend all the way to the bottom of the drawer, or if my drawer handle would get in the way. I didn't get a good look at the clamp in the video. Maybe I'll have to take the drawer out of my desk every time I use it! I'd love to see a follow-up video showing how the clamp works : ) (you don't have to make that video if you don't want to) Anyways, any video about the Cammus C5 is a good video. I am very excited!

In the end I sold all my thrustmaster stuff and went all in on moza gear, I have never looked back not even once and I loved my thrustmaster setup.

Nowadays there is a bundle that includes this wheel and a two pedal set. Unfortunately for some reason it doesn't include the desk clamp and also it doesn't seem like you can add a clutch pedal and connect an H shifter. I still feel that for someone on a budget it makes much more sense to go with T150/TMX Pro or T248 because they come with 3 pedals set and you can mount them on a desk easily at no extra cost. Obviously you can get an H shifter later down the road. Sure they are not direct drive but the value is in all the stuff you get included with the wheel itself. I'd definitely get a DD wheel at some point but only if it was desk mountable out of the box and it included a 3 pedal set.

@albertmas3752 Ай бұрын

You can use any standard connected pedal with this wheel. Also, the same brand offers a much better 3 pedal option. And you can connect any standard H shifter to it. But when it comes to shifters, the brand has none (I think).

@RacingAnt Жыл бұрын

Moza is a completely different proposition. Replaceable wheels, for a start. For a casual racer that won't likely want to replace their wheel, or upgrade the base, in the future, the C5 is a good bet. For someone that wants to grow into the hobby, the Moza wins by default. But you pay extra for this.

While the R5 bundle is like twice the price of this I don’t see it going down either since it’s still one of the cheapest DD bases available on the market not to mention they have the best quick release connectors.
