I’ve been wondering about this for so long. As soon as I get my f7 I’m definitely gonna do this.

[@noah_5468]

"You should NOT do this" "im gonna do it as soon as i get my F7" dont worry im gonna do it too lmao

[@Zayne_24]

@@noah_5468 I may not do it I’m not sure yet but the cam loc on it looks so cool

[@nickrose5372]

man i had ordered all the stuff to do it for like $60 but then resumed the vid and he said "now this is why you dont do this" and refunded my orders, not trynna have my chinstrap come off mid game lmfao @@noah_5468

[@tylerhammack4886]

You could also use a lighter loctite on the visor clip screw. Purple loctite would stop the screw from backing out

[@Zayne_24]

If I put lighter loctite on it won’t it be hard to get the camlock off if for some reason your league doesn’t allow this?

[@blipowicz]

i’ve done this on my f7 but i used actual screws an a lock washer and it hasn’t loosened in like 6 months

[@greengridiron]

Interesting DIY. Glad that worked for you!

[@mikeyenriquez1262]

do you think you could make a tutorial 😭

[@brandonflorkey]

@@mikeyenriquez1262if you take the screw that comes with the strap to a hardware store you can find the matching screw size and thread size. Then just buy a longer version.

[@diggsric]

Screw size is 8/32 x ½ long

[@BigBrolicD1Commit]

Been waiting on this

[@Alex-gp8qz]

I get what he’s saying about the cam lock system pivoting due to the f7 not having the same design as the speed flex but a normal buckled chin strap will pivot regardless because of the design so I don’t see that entirely being an issue. And as for the screws coming lose I’ve had the normal buckles on any helmet come loose and separate from the t nut on the back

[@greengridiron]

Good points! The cam-loc function on the speedflex really just keeps that chinstrap super secure, compared to installing it on a F7 helmet.

[@stxgegreen-3731]

you can use a different screw instead of visor clips

[@romanaytur22]

I just did it from a f7 I got from you guys! I like it a lot

[@mikeyenriquez1262]

has it fallen out or are there any complaints i wanna do this too

[@alexrotaru6616]

loctite on the thumb screw and take a thin piece of rubber and sandwich it between the two, might limit the movement or just add more friction.

[@justhurtado]

i’ve been waiting for this video for soooo longgg. y’all nailed it.

[@greengridiron]

Nice, thanks for watching!

[@jb_beverly8235]

Ok Question would a cam-lock chin strap work on a vicis 02???????

[@greengridiron]

Cam-loc chinstraps are made to be compatible with the Riddell SpeedFlex and Axioms only. You can try to make it work like we did on an F7 in this video, but we do not recommend it.

[@kaidshot1444]

Just bought my helmet WILL BE HERE SUNDAY!!!!!!

[@greengridiron]

Awesome! What did you get?

[@kincademagar2661]

i have been interested in building a cam lock type system that is compatible will all helmets. if this is something that green grid iron would be interested in building aswell please reach out! great work love the videos

[@greengridiron]

Let’s see what you got!

[@ariesromero4514]

1:14 use that what ur unscrewing to use on the other side of the cam lock

[@LUCKIPUP]

real

[@jfide650]

A little clear fingernail polish on the threads should sufficiently stop the knob from backing out.

[@braydenmudd8319]

i just used a washer on the thumb screw and the pivoting isn’t that big of a deal once you get use to it

[@Heyhsj]

I used buckles screws instead of visor clips, and it don’t move at all

[@greengridiron]

Buckle screws work great as an alternate to visor clips!

[@joeyrichey5069]

0:06 could you use a small lock washer inside? Also, the clear fingernail polish idea sounds like it would work as well. I assume this would work on most older helmets if you were putting one together for display only?

[@greengridiron]

The lock washer still wouldn’t hold up during game use. Constant on and off would make the cam-loc housing to move BUT for display use, it’s totally acceptable

[@peppi_pizzaz7422]

I just got a speed flex but had an f7

[@TannerC12]

Me and my friend did this and our cam lock’s didn’t move we used the border screws instead of visor clips

[@greengridiron]

Hey nice job!

[@Heyhsj]

Do you know how to put the stoppers back on the chinstrap

[@greengridiron]

Yes! They're pretty tricky, but you just have to pinch them and fold them in half, and they should pop back in!

[@joshchon1153]

Hey I’ve been wondering, can I replace the quick release twist clips on top of the F7 to just a quarter turn clips instead? I like the looks of the quarter turns and it helps fit visors better I feel

[@greengridiron]

Sure can!

[@quentinjennings5385]

Is there a way to punch holes in the end of a sportstar chin strap to insert those rubber retainers to use on the Cam-Loc? I want to switch out my Riddell harcup for a XD Victory TRex but I do not want to use the buckle system 🤔

Cool look

[@RFS5530]

What kind of clips or screws can I use to screw the cam loc in without it moving at all

[@greengridiron]

For the F7, there isn't one. Since the helmet doesn't have the cam-loc housing like the SpeedFlex does, there's always going to be a little wiggle. Our go-to is just tightening it down as much as possible

[@RFS5530]

@@greengridiron okay thanks, but do you any suggestions to screw it in besides those visor clips?

[@swedishguyonyoutube4684]

Why not just cut into the F7 shell to recreate the square hole? Seems like that’d solve the problem, right?

[@greengridiron]

It would, but we could never tell people cut their helmet. Also, it would void the warranty.

[@randomvids6107]

Might sound weird but wouldn’t hot glue or super glue possibly fix that

[@greengridiron]

Definitely not hot glue, but I think super-glue would make it more stable. Just not super reliable

[@FABELITE-ku9cd]

they should make one for a f7😢

[@greengridiron]

That would be amazing

[@zanecy03]

U goated

[@steves2013]

Have you tried using a tiny rubber washer between the cam lock and the helmet to help prevent movement? not sure if that would work, but wondering if you tried it

[@greengridiron]

That's a good idea! We'll have to test it out and see how it works!

[@alejandrovacacacho]

good information, tnxs¡¡

[@greengridiron]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewthomas4732]

I love y'all

[@wardog12b]

Has anyone tried cutting the square hole with a dremel for the cam-loc to sit in? 🤔

[@greengridiron]

You'll void the warranty on your helmet and could compromise its integrity

[@saxczva9ix]

Does this work for the speed or just the f7

[@greengridiron]

The cam-locs will only work well on the SpeedFlex, since they are not meant for Speed helmets.

[@swuannn]

can u guys do a vid on how to paint your own helmet at home?

[@greengridiron]

Maybe...

[@quixoticquicc13]

Do you guys think the cam-loc would be efficient on a Vicis?? Or would it be the same issue?

I would probably not do it, it will move around for sure

Would this work on the regular speed helmet?
