Cambox Visor Camera

[Jermale Kunstler]

Troys been riding motorcycles and writing about them since 2006, getting his start at Rider Magazine. From there, he moved to Sport Rider Magazine before finally landing at Motorcycle.com in 2011. A lifelong gearhead who didn't fully immerse himself in motorcycles until his teenage years, Troy's interests have always been in technology, performance, and going fast. Naturally, racing was the perfect avenue to combine all three. Troy has been racing nearly as long as he's been riding and has competed at the AMA national level. He's also won multiple club races throughout the country, culminating in a Utah Sport Bike Association championship in 2011. He has been invited as a guest instructor for the Yamaha Champions Riding School, and when he's not out riding, he's either wrenching on bikes or watching MotoGP.

2. For most bikes I'm able to set it once and forget it. The full tuck angle is the best thing about this over a chin-mounted GoPro. Since the Cambox is not pointing straight down, you won't get a view of just the tank.

3. Debatable. An externally mounted camera becomes the new fulcrum in the event of a crash, where energy could be directed. Or, as it breaks off, it could catch on something and pull your head in that direction. The velcro for the Cambox is pretty strong, and on the inside of course. It would take a really serious whack to get it to come off. I'm not saying it can't happen, though.

Just wanted to add that the cambox is NOT waterproof and the battery life is terrible, you'll be lucky to get an hours use out of it. Cambox state on their website Waterproofing - Showerproof (resists to water splashes, rain and snow only). I contacted cambox for advice on how to extend the battery life, they suggested purchasing an external battery pack and a flat USB cable to be able to then close the lid. Although they did say the following: Not that the camera would suffer from the rain but more for safety reasons when the case lid is dangling. I thought this a bit odd so purchased the flat cable just to be on the safe side. We thought all was good until we went to review some video footage and found that a lot of the files were 0 bytes. Sent the cambox back to them, after investigation they said that it had water damage so it was not covered under warranty. They also said that they understood my concerns regarding the location of the water damage on the circuit board and that the Cambox may not always be positioned flat when mounted on a helmet, which can lead to water migrating and causing damage in unexpected areas (It would have been good to have know this beforehand). The repair bill was basically half the price of a GoPro so I declined the repair and said that I would put the money towards a GoPro instead I then never heard back from them. I then left a TrustPilot review which prompted Cambox to get in touch, in the end they knocked 50% off the repair bill but again I declined as I thought it better to put the money towards a GoPro as I'm sure that will be okay in the rain as you can take it underwater. Please check the TrustPilot reviews before buying one of these cameras and don't be tempted by how good it looks and the concept like I was. Just purchase a GoPro to start with and a chesty mount.

Thanks to its sleek design and exclusive mounting system, the Cambox makes the most of its unique positioning under the visor of your helmet, cap or hat. Completely safe, the Cambox will capture your highlights from your real point of view.

The Cambox was designed to suit all helmets, caps, hats, including specific competition models. It is also equipped with 2 articulated arms to adapt to all visor shapes, whether these are rounded or angled like in motocross for example.

The camera can easily be fastened to your helmet, cap or hat thanks to its self-adhesive Velcro strip positioned under the visor. You can equip several helmets with new Velcro fasteners and bring your camera with you anywhere ! The Cambox is known as one of the safest action cam of the market.

That 4K 60p feature all included in such small form factor looks incredible, as we know the best cam is the one we can have at our side when the gap happens for the shot ; ) you might ask for an affiliate link because you've just given them now a new customer and a few others from my WOM for sure, thanks and kudos to your contribution on someone's else craft as usual, mate :- )

Cameras mounted on ski helmets have been responsible for some high-profile injuries that had serious consequences. Motorcycle helmets arguably have a much higher risk threshold for things to go wrong with helmet add-ons. Where the Cambox V4 Pro changes that is by putting the camera inside the visor, where it is no more obtrusive than a pair of glasses or sunglasses.

The camera itself is a 4K, 60 Frames Per Second (FPS) with a 150 degree wide-angle lens, supported by a 12 megapixel Sony video sensor. The charging cable is a USB-C input, and there are two stereo mics on the articulated arms. The Cambox has wifi and Bluetooth connectivity. You can find out more at the Cambox Kickstarter page.

That changed in 2012 with the release of its HERO3 model, a smaller, lighter, rectangular camera that, by chance, fit surprisingly well atop a helmet visor when duct-taped into position. Having tried the visor-cam installation at a few vintage racing events in 2013 with drivers of fast open-wheel cars, the thought to give it a try on an IndyCar came to mind at a time when drivers were required to use the thick Zylon safety panels as part of their visors. SPM and Pagenaud shared the curiosity to see what came from it.

More accurately, it stopped during official IndyCar events until the series decided to start doing visor-cam videos of its own, but they lacked one key element: a separate audio recording. Despite all of the advancements with miniaturization found in a GoPro and its rivals, audio has never been its strongest feature due to the tiny space afforded for a quality microphone. As a result, the noise from onrushing air at 150mph or more tended to drown out the sound of the engine and dampen the viewing experience.

Thanks to its patented Velcro fastening system, and its boomerang shape, the Cambox is fastened underneath the helmet visor and offers a unique and immersive point of view, ideal to relive and share all of your races.

This fastening systems also offers an unprecedented safety level to the user. No mounts, no bolts, no screws are required on the external structure of your helmet. Thus in the event of an impact or a crash, your helmet keeps its entire protective role unlike other classic helmet cameras placed upon the helmet. The Cambox ultra compact design allows it to be light (only 40 grams) in order not to change the helmet balance.
