Cardo Helmet Adapter for Shoei helmets

[@ke3552]

My adaptor was just delivered. I'll let it sit around a bit so that it'll warm up to room temp before doing the install. Nice work, thanks. Subbed.

[@pilkjaer]

Interesting design. It's sad that you need to have their latest intercom devices in order to use it. I would like to se something similar for older models as well. The intercom now sticks out much more. It spoils the way helmet looks like and I wonder if it will generate more drag and noise. But I like to have an integrated solution. I hope soon Shoei will offer proper Cardo integration in their helmets they do with Sena.

[@CosmoMeynell]

You can get really well made ones at TubsJackson, they snap into the SENA integration and are rock solid at high speed. Much sleeker and better placement than the 3M ones

[@pilkjaer]

@@CosmoMeynell Considering it's a piece of plastic one expect it to be reasonably cheap. Cardo adapter costs €21 (which is double what it probably should cost). I have checked TubsJackson site and they charge whole €50 for the mount for my helmet! For €50 I can totally cope with a 3M tape that I need to replace once 2-3 years.

[@CosmoMeynell]

@@pilkjaer Each to their own, I just prefer buying something once and then it's sorted. Also if you're buying a £600 helmet what's another £35?

[@pilkjaer]

@@CosmoMeynell True. Good thing with TubsJackson is that you can move it over to next helmet (if you have same model) and it seems that cardo not go beyond the edge of the helmet so you can put it down on the table/floor and not be afraid to scratch or damage the device. GTAir2 with print was £490. GtAir3 with print is now whole £640. Every saved £ counts. I will probably try some 3D printed designs from the internet. Otherwise I might actually give TubsJackson product a go. Thank you for the tip!

[@hartley383]

Shame Cardo havent made an adaptor for the Bold. Theres a vid on KZbin on getting a 3D printed adaptors for the Bold and Edge that fits into the location. Ive just ordered one for my Bold to fit to my Neotec2

[@moocw91]

May I have the purchase link ?

[@CosmoMeynell]

@@moocw91 TubsJackson do one

[@newroads9787]

Great idea.its very low down near your shoulder.when you put the helmet down does it sit on the unit? I think there is an aftermarket version that is 3d printed.

[@RiderCamTV]

Not had any issues so far

[@ItsWhatiLike]

KZbinr in UK had a video where he obtained CAD drawing for clip, had local shop 3D print it. I did the same here in the US and worked.

[@RiderCamTV]

cool

[@nicoleowen8047]

What was the KZbin video to get the CAD drawing?

[@aidencoder]

I might 3D print an adapter for my Shoei GT-Air 3, because I don't think Sena is going to be the way forward.

[@jellybean8421]

Hey dude, did you ever end up printing a piece?

[@stonecold2653]

it would be great if you guys could do a cardo post on how to adjust the tone and bass of the cardo.mine seems to be way to tony and drives me and my friend mad.

[@RiderCamTV]

hey buddy. we will see what we can do on that :)

[@mojo4376]

That thing really sticks out.

[@Bob-ts2tu]

agree, i don't like it for that reason

[@DONALD-MAGA]

where do you put yours so that it doesn't stick out?

[@kevinbarton4012]

I just used my Shoei Neotec 2 with the Sena SRL installed. My wife called me, the speaker sound was so distorted that I had to have her repeat what she said. I am going to get another Cardo. I had the bold on my old helmet. It's much better sound and better on voice commands.

[@RiderCamTV]

We find cardo great too. Don’t forget there is a discount at cardosystems.com with code ridercamtv :)

[@stevenharris7788]

Do you do tours to Norway

[@RiderCamTV]

Hey. Yes head over to magellanmotorcycletoura.co.uk

[@markholroyd5365]

Magellan have two tours to Norway this year. I will be guiding the first which starts on 3/8/2024. We leave from Harwich by ferry over to the Netherlands then up through Germany, Denmark, Norway to the Arctic Circle north of Mo I Rana then in to Sweden and back down through to Gothenburg another ferry to Denmark, Germany, Netherlands and ferry home. It’s an awesome trip and if you mention RiderCamTV there may be a discount. Come on it’s a trip you will love.

[@stuipooey1]

Looks good however a real pity it doesnt clip in mechanically instead of sticky pad.

[@ItsWhatiLike]

I saw another KZbin video where someone in UK found a CAD drawing for a clip and then had a local 3D print shop print it. I did the same in the US and problem solved. Clips into my Shoei Neotec II instead of the adhesive option

[@CosmoMeynell]

TubsJackson do this - for all types too

[@RideHarder]

Hello, how about Cardo edge on the new neotec 3? I’m loooking to buy an new helmet but also new to the intercome world and I saw that one of the best it’s Cardo edge… but looks like the new Neotec 3 comes ready for Sena…

[@CosmoMeynell]

You can get really well made ones at TubsJackson, Neotec 3 to Cardo Edge compatibility it snaps into the SENA integration part so is seamless.

[@mikedignum1868]

Do they have an adaptor for the Cardo Bold version?

[@RiderCamTV]

not yet i dont think

[@Magicinstalls]

I have the exact same adapter. Accept I have a neotech 3 and it won't work. I ended Up putting an extra layer of sticky tape and mounting my edge as far forward as possible and it's working great! After seeing how far it sticks out, I'm probably going to stick with what I've got. even if they come out with a neotech 3 adapter

[@GSHants]

Might be controversial but Have to say I’ve got a GT Air2 with the Sena system and really couldn’t be happier, looks neat, great sound and good communication, was really unsure beforehand as wanted a Cardo unit…was changing my old interphone sport which was crap, 20 squids seems and awful lot of dosh for a piece of plastic?

[@RiderCamTV]

it is a little pricy i guess, but made to fit to the helmet and for some, it means a lot less hassle then trying to do a 3d one. :)

[@windinthewillows6248]

Having had both Sena and now Cardo, have to say Sena are not even close to Cardo, for sound, quality and userbillity. Nolonger have my Shoei Neotec II, but if I did, I’d be junking Sena for Cardo. Cardo need to now start looking at slimming the device down, and making it look more integrated to he helmet. If I can give Sena any credit, they do a good job of integration, but the electronics, user interface and even the product actually doing what it says on the box, they fall short every time.

[@Magicinstalls]

I agree about having the Sena system Built right into the helmet, however all my mates are running Cardo so I'm kind of stuck with cardo...

[@johnwelbers4248]

Does it fit the 3? 😎🏍💨💨💨💨👍🏻🇨🇦🍻

[@simonwardlesw]

It's a shame they don't do one for the Packtalk Bold!

[@RiderCamTV]

yeah although they may bring them out in the future perhaps?

[@CosmoMeynell]

They do at TubsJackson! Check them out.

[@norriemasson4080]

Toby and talk of an adapter for the Neotec 3 ?

[@RiderCamTV]

Not heard anything as yet buddy

[@rochetmichel7155]

Moi j'ai acheté le nouveau casque shoei GT-AIR 3 est différent par rapport au votre là pièce est en triangle qui n'est pas le cas pour le mien savaient vous s'il il existe un nouveau support pour mettre le cardo dessus merci

[@anilkerempehlivan]

Kaliteli hissettiriyor mu? Çok çıkıntılı durdu

[@johnbateman327]

I've got one it fell off I had to re stick it with sugru. I was very disappointed 🙄

[@chrisbrowning3286]

Same.

[@krzysztofjablonski1247]

Its good for Shoei Neotec III ?

[@RiderCamTV]

Not sure they have made one for the 3 yet buddy

[@RichO1701e]

Just need Cardo to do an adapter for Schuberth helmets now or do some kind of partnership with them bcos Schuberth have the BEST solution of helmet comms, INSIDE the helmet and not stuck outside

[@RiderCamTV]

with you on that one.. would be fab for them to do internal adapters so that everything is inside

[@horatio8764]

Oh and sorry great channel by the way

[@dungbeetle.]

Thanks for the video, guys. I was wondering though, can you still get to the sun visor slider easily enough with the helmet on and wearing gloves?

[@markholroyd5365]

Yep no problem.

[@Adhdad1]

Discount code doesn’t work lads.😢

[@RiderCamTV]

Will do at cardosystems.com. Just tested it and works. The code is ridercamtv

[@Adhdad1]

Says discount not available for items in your cart for me. thank you though.

[@faraway5828]

This is the UK Tuber who documented the3D solution. So much better than making a modification that will be horribly difficult and messy to remove. Shoei / Sena licensing was the reason they wouldn't let Cardo do a properly engineered solution kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJfLo3xsgspqpZo

[@RiderCamTV]

awesome, thanks buddy

[@hartley383]

I recently ordered one for the Bold after seeing this. Fingers crossed.

[@swill369]

Followed the instructions in the video and ordered one last year. Really pleased with it. Solid and fits the Edge perfectly.

[@johnanderson2406]

I use the standard clip that comes with the Cardo device ON MY Neotech II... no issues.🤔

[@donpetryna4356]

Was it the mechanical mount or the stick on mount? Will the mechanical mount fit between the shell and liner?

[@johnanderson2406]

Hi, its the mechanical slip/push on clip.

[@donpetryna4356]

@@johnanderson2406 okay thank you. I am coming out of the RF1200 and looking at the modular neotech 3 to replace it. I am thinking the neotech 2 and 3 are very similar in regards to that area.

[@hartley383]

The Neotec 2 and 3 have different coms arrangement. Sena coms fior a 2 will not fit the 3

[@diegosantos9752]

Sticks out like the proverbial dogs....

[@eksimariano1841]

I think shoei patented the plastic clip cover, that is why cardo resorted to a stick on adapter.

[@RiderCamTV]

That could explain it

[@douglaskirk3036]

wow, thank god for fast forward. damn thing is about foot off the helmet. Ill stick to the sticky and the Bold.

[@horatio8764]

Shoei neotec 2 , great helmet Sena intercom crap. Mine died and 24 hrs later my wife's unit died after being in a good old Ozzie storm , the side switch unit filled with water. Not happy, Sena don't care no parts available, but I have found an electronics guy that repaired both and they work better than originally. Sena just wanted new units sold at $599 AUD each, repair bill $120

[@chrisbrowning3286]

Did everything meticulously and sticky tape failed in a few days on cross country ride.

[@dimitrisloxias5265]

You can 3d print a far better adapter that ths pos that cardo sells for 20 pounds.

[@MW_1981]

Looks as though it’ll stick out a fair bit from the side of the helmet. Way too much going on really!

[@RiderCamTV]

Sticks out a little but it’s all good

[@milabaigar]

I think that’s ilegal here (Spain) because it interferes with the integrity of the helmet , I have my communicator stuck on with Velcro and it’s never fallen off , just saying 🤷🏼‍♂️also new law here open face type helmets are ilegal . 🤦‍♂️

[@RiderCamTV]

thanks for the info. Although i have never had an issue with the cardo on the side of the helmet when speaking to local or national police
