Sena helmet comms?

[beechwood]

Bit late to party on this thread but we used 3 of these on a recent large job big tree MEWPs Crane and big chipper loaded by 360.

 

I have to say they were pretty simple to install to our helmets and once we had worked out how to link them together, they were brilliant.

Made the job run smoothly, efficiently and more safely than without them.

 

The banter ability is also great, you can chat away with everyone around you pretty much unaware. We did find a downside, when your colleague forgets he is wearing the mic and belches deeply!

 

Honeys Bros imported them in for us and just said try them and see how you get on, so big thanks to Martin and Leon.

 

I'm defiantly going to buy them and I would recommend them to anyone. Sure Honeys will be stocking them soon.

 

How they are going hold up to the rough and tumble of regular treework, only time will tell.

Apparently the top tip is to stick a piece of very very bright tape over the battery so that can find it if it pops off.

Have to say didn't have that problem but sounds like a top tip.

So what do you get for for your £350 and who stocks them?

[Dan Earp]

£350!! Dam.

Go on ebay and the likes and buy the whole system and fit yourself.

Bump! Any more peeps using the Sena SMH10 kits? Especially on Protos. Would be nice to get a couple more comments before we go toy shopping. :-)

highly recommended we bought ours from the US far cheaper as two sets out there are the same price as one over here

 

they fit any helmet and very easy to fit to your helmet, very robust and don't get in the way when climbing or chipping

O got mine from tree kit they have become something I use all the time makes everything so much less stressful no shouting or miss communication :-)

Spoke Martin at Honeys Bros this week about buying new lids for my guys with Sena sets installed, if it's affordable it's got to be way to go.

Will see what the cost is and take it from there.

I have done my own setup, installed speakers, mic and the removable unit in about 30minutes each helmet.

 

I chose a cardo packtalk duo setup. One is on my protos and the other is on a kask!

 

pics!

 

the wires need a little tidy bit this is just as good as infact better than arborcoms version

 

it allows many headsets to connect to each other, you can listen to music/radio, and comms all at the same time.

 

same cost more functionality than my arbtalk arbor comms that i just ordered! I thought they looked pretty knickers and gave it a go with ordering motorcycle comms units with added functionality.

 

FR Jones were quoting £558 + Vat for one headset, for one helmet! gustharts same price for 2, i went with gustharts, but since have waited a long time to get em circa 6weeks!

 

Having seen how these were setup i opted to try it for myself, the results are pretty good IMO!
