![]() ![]() Although virtually everything packaged for the C5 is upgraded or new. Not having used the INNOVV C3 single-channel system, but in being familiar with the K1 dual-channel system (along with most of the other INNOVV products), the C5 piqued my interest when it was released.įor those who have looked at or used the C3 and/or the K1 systems, some components found with the C5 system will be familiar. While not ‘bug-free’, the C5 team has completed some updates and continues to provide outstanding support. The Innovv C5 is a welcome and well-priced product that bears a close look. Depending on the motorcycle, using some form of isolation mount to cope with the ultra-low-weight of the lens, motorcycle suspension,the terrain being travelled, pays big dividends. Initial concerns about video quality were largely mitigated in making sure the lens and holder were solidly mounted. It has now been redesigned for greater strength, more resiliency, and better grip of the lens. Where the solid sealed lens is more than functional, the original lightweight (thin) lens holder showed signs of weakness. The pressure-fitted, thumb-screw sealed USB-C connector on top is ready for the task of coping with the elements, though users need to be aware that integrity of the system can be compromised by the silicone seal flap on the bottom – used to provide quick port access. Speaking of wet and muddy, the camera lens has an IP68 (waterproof) rating, whereas the DVR module has a somewhat lesser IP65 (dust/water protection) rating. Thanks in large part to the C5’s modularity and long lens cables (1.8m, 3m and 5m options), the system is easy to install and use on virtually any motorcycle.ĭesigned to have broad base appeal it is likely to have a special attraction for adventure touring riders who typically need a more ruggedized weatherproof system for those of us who are just as happy getting wet and muddy the C5 is a great option. When networked to a compatible smart device running the iOS or Android INNOVV app, users can configure the system for set-once use or interact dynamically to preview/live-view, review video, and manage the system. The Innovv C5 also provides WiFi, a popular and extremely useful feature not found on the single channel l C3 and dual-channel K1 products. The C5 single-channel camera system is a newer offering from INNOVV providing a lot of desirable features for powersports activities, particularly motorcycling enthusiasts, at a reasonable price.Ĭompact and ruggedized, the modular-based Innovv C5 provides a sealed waterproof lens, an aluminum DVR module, USB 3 integrated heavy-duty cable, and a dedicated protective power supply in the form of a weatherproof 12-5V DC converter. ![]()
