In addition, here is a little evening ride I did to test out leveling the Sena 10C and using the GPS:

Thanks for posting, one question though.

Why is it that your helmet keeps going in and out of frame? Is it due to some sort or image stabilization. It's a strange effect.

Lived in DC area (College Park/Riverdale) from 1982 to 1995. The thought of driving in traffic still gives me the chills. OK... dumb question time: You were taling abou8t Sena 10... does it have a camera? I wasn't aware. I am a post-tech type person but am thinking about a bluetooth comms set up.

it is the sena 10C that has the camera built in, now my question to the poster, do you find that the camera shuts off, and can you hear the 10c talking to you when it does. when i put it on my helmet i had cut some of the inside plastic away because of some other speakers i had in the helmet. i couldn't hear the commands, now i moved the speakers from the unit closer to my ears by building them out, but with the heat i have not tried them out yet

I'm not really sure why my head goes in and out. Maybe it is the way I turn my neck or head.

I have a Shoei GT Air helmet and I can hear the commands very good. No problems so far with the camera shutting off? Did you have that problem?

I can see license plates...not sure about registration images.

yea for some reason it sometimes shuts off, the book says if the camera overheats it will shut down

Isn't the 10C clamped to your helmet, whereby making it rigidly mounted? Or do you have it mounted some other way?
