Sena 10c - Who Else Is Using?

[ThatWanGuy]

Hey Guys,

Its been more than a month now since I had the Sena 10C and I am loving it!

Its' ease of taking on & off the helmet, embedded audio, radio, bluetooth, phonecalls, dual-vlog, video tagging.. Im so loving this tech!

Yeah It does have some issues such as the weak camera, confusing user experience and batt life.

But I believe everything in life is about trade offs (e.g. Bike Performance vs Petrol Efficiency) and this just hit the right mark!

I am wondering is anyone else is using the Sena 10c like me here? How have your experience been so far?

(DISCLAIMER: Im not an employee of Sena or do I get paid for this. They should pay me though heh)

After watching a bunch of review videos, it sounds like the battery life is horrible, image quality is mediocre, audio quality is mediocre compared to the 20s, and the general usability is annoying. It's a great first try, but they really need to make it look like less of a penis camera hanging off your helmet and more like a 20s with a Sony Actioncam built-in.

I'm looking at it. I need to know more before I plop down $350 but it looks like at least the beginning of a good system.

I've been thinking of getting one but the bloody things are expensive ,

Hahaha Now you mention it, its does look like dick and balls. LOL

Well, the next best thing in the market right now to get your audio embedded in the audio with Intercom im guessing is "Gopro Hero + Sena GP10 + 20S". its no comparison.. But You do pay more for better video quality.

Do you use it just to motovlog or do you use all the features it includes as you mentioned. I would say this device comes in handy for those that are looking in the market for a intercom/bluetooth device that so happens to have a camera built-in, rather than a dedicated motovlogging device, hence Sena not investing too much on the camera, but who knows maybe in the next version.

The 10c has been a constant companion now everytime o ride. Yeah and what u said is true, i use it more for the intercom than the camera

Realli looking forward for sena to up the game on this unibody design. Is Gopro + 20s in one unit too much to ask for..? Hehe

If the demand for it is there.. They will eventually improve it.

Has anybody tried putting in a larger SD card (greater than 32gb's)? I know it says it accepts up to, but I wonder if anyone has had luck getting a larger card to properly be read by the unit

 

[Marbro_za]

Can you even use up that 32gb? with its battery life?
I like the idea. but it needs polishing first

All depends on whether or not you can run a USB battery pack to the unit while recording.

I'd imagine the capability is there, but it won't be streamlined like a pack for a GoPro based on the design of the unit

 

[TimVicious]

I have one and I love it. For me, the price is right compared to a gopro, bluetooth back and intercom all separate.

thats what im rocking right now. 1/3rd the price of a drift battery and i get twice the life out of it. So i just never use the drifts battery..

Could use the same idea there then i guess

On long trips I use one of those powerbanks & plug it unto the 10c. It works like a charm! I just have a long wire from my helmet to my backpack where my powerbank is safely put.

 

[Marbro_za]

I just pasted mine on my helmet. Never have to worry about cords

Dont you worry abt water from rain or the weather..?

I figured it'd let us hardwire power. Good to know if any friends ask about options. For a starter kit, you can't beat the price for coms + cam.

When you get to my age, you worry about other things,
Plus its a couple of dollars for a power bank, The few times i ride in the rain make it worth the risk


I also taped it up with electrical tape , mainly because its white and my helmets black. I think that protects it a bit
