I've been eyeballing the Cammus C5. If they had the C5 with a reasonably priced load cell pedals, I'd probably upgrade my system.

I enjoyed you putting together the steering wheel bracket very much 😂

That's beautiful for that price point.

4:21 That's the lid of the box . Lol

Moza, CAMMUS, Logitech, Thrustmaster and *_Fanatec_* users can agree that Fanatec sucks.

Builders: "How much of a profit?" Cammus: "$1, most of our profit will be from selling people data for the gov" (joke as Cammus is a chinese co.)

A way to mod T3PA (thrustmaster pedal) brake is to just wedge a bounce ball into the brake pedal against the original brake mod back plate. It honestly good for how cheap and how little hassle it had. And it looks like i may have a chance to work here. It gives more resistance to the brake and it feels different to the end if travel.

Awesome review video fill, awesome wheel setup for the price!

“Your connection is not secure” warnings aren’t bad at all. It just means anyone on your wifi network can see the contents of the network traffic going from your pc to their server, which isn’t a big deal at all unless you’re entering credentials or other sensitive info. Oh and the smartscreen popup is most likely because the exe isn’t signed properly or at all which does kinda make sense i think that costs money don’t take my word on that tho but it’s fairly common. Windows smartscreen doesn’t defend you from any viruses at all unless it straight up blocks it and not allowing you to bypass it meaning its flagged as a virus. This is just like oh its not signed it could be harmful. Like the popup said itself it doesn’t recognize it so it’s not sure if it is or isnt.

I got my CLS dd in the first wave with the mclaren wheel, so 3 years ago. I just ordered the round wheel to drift and got the wheel monday after ordering on that friday so 3 days from cali to indi 2000 miles I amd happy with 8nm

Settings I recommend after getting mine: Damping at 0 Friction 0 Inertia 10-20 (Depends on you) Everything else 0, unless you drift, then do Idle spring 13ish percent In game effects window: 100% everything EXCEPT Game spring, keep that at 0 Assist: All off, unless you want hand protection

My favourite quote from this vid “I’ve done a lot of metal holding”

9:07 “I’ve done a lot of metal holding” LMAO!

and here I am, sitting on my Kitchen Chair with a Thrustmaster Wheel :)

I'm super impressed with the C5 so far.

Thanks filman! I just bought the Logitech wheel and pedals and took em back last month and had my eye on this wheel and will definitely order it now. ill order it through your link

Very interesting! My review unit came with a spare bolt in the pedal box - i wonder how that worked out

That's super interesting that it comes with maybe a Hall Effect sensor for the pedals

If you only review things you have fun reviewing/using, I can see it working out as a component of your channel.

Had my c5 a few weeks, love it, used logitechs for about 10 years its a massive difference. 5nm is the holding torque, it'll 'feel' like 8-9nm from other companies.

37:10 with the screw unscrewing when you loosen the base, Cammus just needs to put a tiny thing of red loctite in the package that you're supposed to apply to those screws. Pretty sure red loctite should keep them from loosening well enough.

man this is perfect - i was just thinking of buying a direct drive wheel lmao

This wheel looks promising but they definitely need to adress some issues. For example both chrome and the windows antivirus kicking in for the driver freaks me out a bit. I read the comment that explains why it might be a thing but still that's a no no for me ngl. But if they solve that issue my next upgrade might be buying their wheelbase, but not the pedals though. Not having a clutch is already a problem, and just based on how easily you could press down the brakes with your hand makes me believe buying a thrustmaster pedal set is the way to go. Cool video though, as always

that dodgy brake pedal around 10:30, might be able to do something like stuffing a squash ball behind the pedal? I had a set of old logitech pedals where a squashball was one of the tricks to help the pedal feel

I recently bought myself a t300 GT edition used for arround 200 Euros and sold the G29 I had and i love it in comparison but you have to have some technical knowledge. This is because the T300 likely overheats. You should upgrade the fan!. It has decent pedals (with clutch, upgraded pedals kinda T3PM with worse/weaker brake spring) compared to the C5. I have seen that you can buy a 20 euro usb adapter for the pedals so if I want to upgrade I can likely keep the pedals (if i get it resold without them). I really dont like having a clutch and Cammus shipping to my place (Germany) just wasnt worth it the additional price. A minus for the t300 is that the Desk clamp kinda sucks so i had to improvise my own. If anyone has questions considering if its worth to upgrade from G29 or what exactly i had to do feel free to ask me.

I never understood why the game controller industry has been so hesitant to put force-feedback on everything, speakers don't cost that much...

23:04 "I'm very much into privacy but I don't know what any of these warnings actually mean"

Idk if there is a delay on video but is the steering wheel set to 2000 degrees. Most games have around 1080 degrees but beamng has 2000 so putting that in the moza/cammus launcher and ingame would probably help a lot

37:12 I had to LITERALLY destroy my desk from underneath to mount my G27 because its brackets are not long enough. This is definately better.

Damn, that cost me more than My First Vr headset I got back in 2020. The one I still use to this day. The Occulus Quest 1!

Some blue thread lock for the stand is probably good. Or a longer threaded screw

I know this comment isn’t relating to this video but I’ve been hunting for a video or anything of someone recreating a modern version of a straight eight engine, and I’ve seen your videos where you’ve done straight eights in automation. Is there a shot you would make a modern straight eight if it was made in the 2010s onward?

28:00 i think with the v1.0 they mean the version of the wheelbase insted of the software

Would it be possible make my own clutch and brake pedals to this? It looks great and I might get this one day.

I hope fanatec pulls thru this war crime

I spent alot of money on a thrustmaster t300 rs. its very good for a first wheel. I know it will last me a while.

For the price its great and the cheapest fanatec setup with a desk mount is 430€, but the main reason people get into fanatec is the eco system, with that 430€ setup there is an option to add a loadcell brake for 140€ later on or for 120€ if order it as a bunde, same goes with the 8nm boost kit, you can get that later on and get 3 more nm of torque for 150€ or for 100€ if you order it with the wheelbase. The upgrade options are the main reason why i would want to get myself something from fanatec, i live in germany and i have a friend that had a very good experience with the support. for moza the main problem i have heard is the shipping cost being very expensive and the R5 moza bundle is 500€ not including shipping. with thrustmaster the price to get into the ecosystem on a DD is around 1k, i currently own a Thrustmaster TMX with around 2nm as a belt/gear wheel, sadly the TMX dosent have support for the quick release system from thrustmaster so i would have to pay 850€ for the DD and a new wheel rim. The turtlebeach Velocity One Race is very interesting for 650€ as a bundle with a load cell but they dont currently have an eco system wich is a problem for some, i love drifting and D shaped wheels are usually not that good for drifting and not having the option to change the wheel on the Turtlebeach and the Cammus C5 is currently the main reason why i am not really considering both of them for myself For most people having a low price to get into an ecosystem with alot of upgrades is great and currently the best thing about Fanatec and for console players fanatec is probably the best option if you dont want to run the wheel with 3rd party tools I love your videos ^^

I know we've advanced a good bit technology wise, but I would expect most things to ask for a reboot after installing drivers. Having drivers that constantly trigger Antivirus and websites with expired security certificates don't inspire a lot of confidence in the company's longevity. I'd hope that they could fix that so that it feels like they'll be around long enough to get better. at $330 USD for the whole kit It seems about on par with some entry level Logitechs... still a lot of cash either way and I feel like beginners would probably just grab a cheep ass Hori wheel for 200 or a bottom tier Logitech for a little more, so this feels a bit more intermediate which might put it against slightly higher budget targets.

The reason why your wheel was shaking lole that is because you have reduced force when parking off happens to me and the clamp fornmenworks perfectly the top part f9es get a little undone but when i clamp it on it dosent move at all bo matter how much force

Try the of v10 it’s olso very cheap but has a good pedals and a nice steering wheel and a shifter ❤

Day 7.2(gotta do it all today because i didnt had time)of commenting: You probably wont do it, but anyway. Here is a car Suggestion if you want: the Xiaomi su7. There are 3 variants of it, different in their Performance. I thought,that it would be a bit more of a Challenge if you would be able to switch modes in that car. But while driving, so you press a button and you can select between the Performance and the Suspension settings(like race mode with hard Suspension and comfort with soft ones). I thought Maybe 3 modes,and each mode should match the Performance of the 3 variants of the su7. Maybe you are interessted. Sorry for my bad Englisch,its not my native language. If you dont understand what i meant, i could try to rewrite it and explain it better if you want. But anyways,i really love your videos

I have a G920 rn, and my pedals aren't doing so well, and my shifter is basically on its last leg My accelerator pedal has a problem, that came out of nowhere, where it doesn't push all the way down unless i force it And my shifter sometimes doesn't shift into gear, I think the switches are getting worn down somehow

i wish i could get free stuff like you do 🤣🤣

the funny thing i started sim driving few months before i started driving in driving school and on my 500rs the break is heavy and when pushing it after a centimeter it becomes really stiff so when i started driving a real car (peugeot 208) the break was so soft it felt like i was pressing the clutch and my instructor always said go easy on the breaks so in my opinion the breaks on the cammus c5 are realistic

You have three stirring wheel now?btw,do you still have your old vr headset ?

If someone could give a reasonable explanation for the weird security issues on their website, plus a bit more reliable firmware I would go for this wheel.

Im thinking of getting the c12 to replace my pxn v10, but they told me the driver is bad

Is this available with a clutch pedal and shifter?

Damn wish I found out about this wheel about a year ago.

looks like they upped the prices again XD on 7:30 i see the full bundle is 289$ but when i look now ( 11th of June ) the price is 329$, ( even though it says -8% with a base price of $358 which, as a beginning wheel driver/gamer , this feels still, like way too much money. I think they've watched your video! :P

More simracing hardware content!! :)

looks great, however i feel as if you are going for a sim rig, a clutch and shifter is a requirement. Another gripe i have is why do companies love to sell the wheel/base separate to the pedals?? yes i know theres a bundle that includes them, but how do you even use a wheel without the pedals??

Besides the looks of it, it’s good for being budget, definitely better than Logitech ❤😂

Just took a look at their US warehouse ("tax included") and the C5 bundle w/ pedals is $329 US. Sigh. For just a bit more there seems to be at least one other 5Nm combo... that *isn't* Fanantec. The very Moza R5 you showed in the diesel swap video is about $100 more and, given the swapable wheel, seems a better idea. But, I suppose, if one doesn't have that additional $100 lying around... As for the rubber clamp pad... I would probably 3D print a TPU gasket that better buffers that. It'll be interesting to see what happens if Corsair buys out Fanantec. It'd be nice to have more good options.

soo, is there a clutch and stick add on/ set?

The fanatec thing is being fixed already, they've got a new post-sale support methodology and shipping has gotten faster. Aparently they're being bought by Corsair

Literally shipping from cammus is c5 is abnormally high it's like 200-250 euros depending where you are in europe

I am into drifting very hard tho as I am on ps5 with no handbrake assets corsa no mods would love a pc

theres a tutorial in here somewhere

wow

I’ve been looking at a pxnv10 for like $250

fillman revews

I fear for their longevity at that price point.

Dont pis on fanatec fanatec = 10/10

I don't understand how a little controller like that could even cost $200

Just a thing about the website and why the message is there. It's basicly saying its not encrypted so everything transmitted through that connection can be seen and potentially even be exchanged (from a hacker in wlan or your provider technicly). The certificat is basicly the thing that enables you and them to be authentifcated by a third party to establish a encrypted connection. The exe is also similar in that they didn't sign it. Means they are not verified by a third party and windows therefore doesn't know if that is not a virus. Both things can be a bit annoying to set up but the first should be relativly easy with "let's encrypt" the second should be much more hassle.

I mean i have been looking for a wheel lol

20:10 dang... no feet cam

I don't like how it looks at all. Yes it's compact but for pretty much 10 dollars more you can get a Thrustmaster T300 RS GT (GT adds the clutch pedal) which is way way way better even though it's not direct drive, it is belt drive and has great FFB. (I own one)

need more subs

Really fillman at 9:30pm?!

im here with a g29

Moza steering wheel just like the Goosiest

19:55 If there's only USB-C, could I use it on my Phone?😂

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

And fanatec went bankrupt

on their site the wheel is 330$ :c

The price is a facade. They inflate the shipping cost by an outrageous amount. They have " USA" based warehouse yet the shipping is still 100 dollars, no thanks.

Something is wrong with your Logitech pedal set. Mine do not do that and actually take a considerable amount of fine inputs with accuracy.

the hummus wheel looks weird

For the price, I think it's worth it but damn it's one ugly duck

Now I can become a sim racist for cheaper!

22:35 **cough capitalism cough**

Fanatec is ass, rather have a g920 than any fanatec stuff, I have a Thrustmaster TX with T-LCM pedals and TH8S shifter and I am more than happy

Why the fuck do these companies have special software when there's supposed be standards for USB Human Input Devices?

for those looking to buy the CAMMUS C5 be VERY VERY VERY wary their QA is TERRIBLE so the odds you get a unit with some sort of annoying problem is pretty high, AND their support is USELESS. i emailed them about the problems i was facing and they literally just linked me tutorials on how to set it up (I had been using it for 150 hours at this point) its an amazing product but if you look around very few have good experiences with their support. so aslong as you're okay with the chance of getting a dud and them never doing anything about it then 100% go for it cause its a very solid wheel when there are no issues especially considering the price

I'd LOVE this wheel... If it wasn't unbearably hideous. You can keep costs low without making something this ugly. Maybe next time.

feel like this is a bit dishonest. logitech one comes with all the entire set. while cammus for the close price only has the wheel not the pedals

The CCP malware side of things definitely does put me off getting this...

E

when will you stop buying and collecting wheels but acutally get a good camera 🤣🤣🤣

50 views in 4 minutes bro fell off😂

Not trying to throw shade on your review but you shit on the Logitech way to hard the only thing the c5 has over the Logitech is torque and direct drive the pedals are trash no clutch the motor takes up way to much room from the wheel and you can’t upgrade the wheel. On the Logitech you have clutch options to change to an oversized wheel. I ran it for 2 1/2 years and had zero problems. And I’m betting that c5 has way more wheel oscillation you can just tell it’s a cheap design that is made to sound good. If you want a direct drive just get a r5 or an r9. Also fanitec is still A good product but customer service isn’t the best

If you dont think anyone should watch your videos why do you even make them

Shame it’s so damn ugly
