Review on FreedConn R1 Pro Motorcycle Camera Bluetooth 5.0 Helmet Headset With Music Sharing, 8-Way 1500M Range, 2K Camera, G-Sensor & 128G TF Card/2 In 1 Mic/IP65 Waterproof Rating by Jon Estell

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything is great, except the mic.

So far, I only have one complaint about this device, everything else works perfectly or as near to perfect as you can expect for a device like this.The intercom and bluetooth audio work very well. I've been very impressed with the range and the audio quality. It is a 2.4 Ghz bluetooth radio, you aren't going to go very far, but for bluetooth it's been impressive. Taking phone calls, I've been told that they couldn't tell I was on the motorcycle (how this is, I'm not sure, but I haven't investigated that aspect very deeply).The camera quality is good. I run it 1080p, and at that resolution it would seem that the provided card can store 24 hours of video. There's not much in the way of stabilization, but if it's on your helmet, you provide the stabilization. The 16:9 format looks a bit fish-eyed, but that's fine for most things.The Problem: Audio Recording. The camera will not use the bluetooth mic, it will only use the built in mic on the camera. So, most of the time, all you get is wind noise. The Bluetooth mic only has an 8khz sampling rate, so it's a bit buzzy with a lot of background noise.If you plan on "VLogging" or recording conversations, this is not what you want. End of story. Makes a good Motorcycle "Dash Cam", but that's the limit. The Bluetooth intercom function, audio playback, and bluetooth headset (phone calls) function all work very well.
