longsh07 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 (edited) Bit of an odd question but was out getting petrol when a bunch of bikers turned up. One had something on his helmet which looked like a drift camera. Long story short, bikers had an incident up the road and I ended the night chatting to a copper who said it wasn't a camera but just looks like one? Didn't say what it did mind. It was on the jawline of his helmet and the copper said it was called an esc....something, maybe a scada or something, I have no idea! Anyway I was just hoping someone could maybe piece together the name from my awful description! I know it wasn't a Bluetooth set as he had one of those on the other side.

Ash6812 Posted September 5, 2014 Posted September 5, 2014 It may well have been a bikeHUD. Its a small display unit that is set up to the engine to provide speed, gear, indictor and camera notification. Just search for bike hud. Hope this helps. Quote
longsh07 Posted September 5, 2014 Author Posted September 5, 2014 Had a look but the ones I've seen are on the inside of the helmet. This was attached fairly far back on the outside. Could it still be that? Quote
Ekona Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 It might help if we knew why you wanted to know. Is there some particular functionality you want to replicate? Quote
DoogyRev Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 It might help if we knew why you wanted to know. Is there some particular functionality you want to replicate? Perhaps he want to fit one to the Zed . . Quote

I wanted to know what it was called if anyone as any idea so I can find out about it incase anything comes up about the accident in future. Unfortunately I don't know what it does. The copper gave it a name that I can't remember. It looks like other Drift cameras but apparently it's not.... Edited September 6, 2014 by longsh07 Quote
longsh07 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 Bike to bike communication? Could be but I couldn't find any that sounded/looked similar online plus it looked like he had one of those on the other side of his helmet. Quote
longsh07 Posted September 6, 2014 Author Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Don't worry too much about it guys, I appreciate any help you can give me. I'm only asking incase anything comes of the accident. I didn't actually witness it myself. Both myself and the missus where out getting petrol In separate cars and it happened right in front of her. The bikers pulled into the petrol station just after us and I spotted it while one of them was in the queue to pay. Edited September 6, 2014 by longsh07 Quote
Flex Posted September 6, 2014 Posted September 6, 2014 So it was quite large then? Bit personal Quote
longsh07 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) Sorry chaps, for some reason I didnt get notified about your replies Looked very similar to this except according to the coppers it wasn't a camera... Edited September 14, 2014 by longsh07 Quote
longsh07 Posted September 14, 2014 Author Posted September 14, 2014 Also for the record I'm pretty sure it wasn't an intercom or bluetooth as there was also something like this on the other side. Quote
GMballistic Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 Had a look but the ones I've seen are on the inside of the helmet. This was attached fairly far back on the outside. Could it still be that? Bike to bike communication? This fits on the outside of the helmet and is a communication device longsh07. This what it could have been? Quote
longsh07 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 I don't think so GM, had something similar to the post directly above yours that looked like an intercom/Bluetooth kit. I'm sure it was the same shape as the drift had camera but it could have been slightly thinner. Sure it had a small screen on the side too... Could it be anything else? Starting to have my doubts. Thanks for the help all Quote

longsh07 Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 lol, I though that would be the case. I'd never heard of what ever the copper called it and didn't think to ask at the time. Never mind, was always going to be a bit of a long shot (no pun intended) so thanks for trying to help anyway all. Quote
