Ropetek Helmet Pairing Ritual

Here is a typical scene on our jobsites when getting started.
If the same crew everyday then routine is simplified but we vary a lot on manpower from job to job which makes for a lot of resetting and starting over. Before Adam came on board, It was just luck when we linked up by randomly stabbing away at button sequences like chimpanzees playing with a microwave.

[@chrispratt5738]

Hahaha. Us guys have the same ritual. When all four are paired we have to make a small sacrifice to the helmet gods, and do a victory dance! They have changed the way we all work though. Not that the team got angry but it removes all the stress and shouting from the job, can't recommend them enough. Great video August

I’m trying to get my boss to help invest in some.. yelling is quickly getting old

[@joeymalin]

I cannot stop laughing at 4:01 that like epitomizes how I feel all day every day!! LOL

[@Masonaterx]

It's even worse when u bump the back of your head and hit that button and have to try getting all linked up again lol so frustrating

[@merlenelson4894]

Great video August! Thanks for making it. If someone has a faster/easier method of pairing up tell Adam. I would bet we would see it on an AH video update before long. Incredible contribution to the arb community August.

[@pedrobedro5412]

You should have a chant that you do while pairing to make it seem more mystical. It's like going somewhere with the kids in the car, "Are we there yet ?" "Noooooo" :D

[@chrisscutt4197]

YES, this is the painful part of my crews day also.😢

[@dcvariousvids8082]

I suppose it’s like that, because on some worksites, the boss needs to talk with everyone, but individuals may only need to talk with given others within a small crew/group/team.

[@mrbixler1]

Yeah after you all pair whatever you do DONT HIT YOUR BUTTON!

[@MrSilverback62]

August, rainy day project. I wonder if you can rig continuous power to the helmet radios at night so you do not have to pair every morning?

[@63256325N]

That sounds really confusing! What are you listening for? That's not very user friendly having to setup like that. There's got to be an easier way. Thanks for the video. I suppose after a while it gets easier.

[@jimmailer6508]

We do the same. Great bits of kit for safety.

[@Teixeirastreeservice]

How good are does during raining days?

[@victoriousvictor7978]

Me and Buckin just yell at each other....equally as effective!

[@AugustHunicke]

Haha, yeah, but nope.

[@mrbixler1]

Lol

[@joshmullinnex5113]

i have to relearn it every time i use my protos. i only use it on crane jobs so it is always a venture like you guys just did.

[@davidhunt9477]

We have only two sena so thats fine but..... Dear Sena is the company workining on lets turn em on and go to work?

[@davidhunt9477]

I watched a video where a guy got a pen and paper and explained it all but Im more of a feel a tree kind a dummy.

[@reonrounds7404]

Weird we Pair ours completely different.....

[@kencanoe]

yeah what August said... make it simplier...why can't everyone just switch just switch to channel "4" and communicate!!

[@BaumpflegeMertens]

I still don't get it....

[@mikeduffy8229]

Very nice

[@jjmaher86]

that... was the complete shits. I most definitely did not expect that.

[@andrewtiefry5990]

That's awsome

[@codyholt8290]

August I have a question

[@bearsmithy152]

If this helmet company don't make it easier they will be out of business💪🏼 u guys in a crew like you should just link once for the lifetime of the helmet

[@joemccourt7338]

bear Smithy they will never go out of business they have a big space in the motorcycle community.

[@SladeBerggren]

what a weird spot to have your mic mounted. isn't that in your field of your vision?

[@AugustHunicke]

We bend them around to right by mouth

[@stu4516]

Do you need to do this every time you put your helmets on?

[@AugustHunicke]

stu no

[@stu4516]

I was going to say that must be a pain haha

[@emjayw3018]

Dam thats a pain. Similar to my motorcycle bike to bike and rider to pillion + Bt but once It is pared with helmet 1 2 3 4 & 5 it keeps the settings and also has 1k range and bt phone tunes and calling ability. Bloody pricey though :-/

[@miaschiedenhelm2918]

Does Derek work with you every day

[@AugustHunicke]

he’s loooooong gone

[@samuelluria4744]

The communication is SO key, and yet THIS is exactly why I haven't bought a set of these! And it's not a joke - They REALLY NEED TO FIX THIS!!! Please, I really would buy them!

[@trevorblack3385]

Seems like a long time but the 5 minutes that took would be totally worth it. Also, you may be off on your math just a little unless you are paying them each around $220 an hour.

[@AugustHunicke]

Yeah 😆

[@AugustHunicke]

Unless you count the things we could have gotten done…

[@AugustHunicke]

Those helmets make up for it in so many ways. Worth their weight in gold.

[@Mozzer209]

You could kill two birds at once and tune them in over a team breakfast!

[@AugustHunicke]

👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@patrickmckowen2999]

Need to upgrade to new MESH ones Cheers

[@devondunkle1063]

lengthy pain in the butt! I'd rather yell! hahaha

[@robertmiller9096]

For the price u pay for sena comms they are overrated!!..and our team is very high paced team..and so we just got tired standing around in the morning trying to get them to work..so we threw them in a box and now im looking at peltor comms..

[@dstrees4378]

I think there is an easier way.

[@randyupladek1855]

Sonetics is way easier..

[@White_devil1980]

Very complicated that’s why I don’t like blue tooth 😡
