Action cameras and intercoms have been largely separate areas of rider tech – until now. Cardo Systems and Insta360 have just announced a new partnership to make their kit work better together. Announced at the BMW Motorrad Days event in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the firms have pledged to integrate the high-end 360° action cameras and helmet intercom/headset systems. There’s no word on exactly how the integration might develop, but you’d imagine having linked controls, voice recording onto the camera, voice-activated control and other cunning tech tricks.
Christoph Strucken, regional manager at Cardo Systems, said: “We are thrilled to enter into this new partnership with Insta360. Inspired by our product’s connectivity, we will work together to provide next-level service to our customers and partners. This collaboration opens up exciting opportunities and marks the beginning of an exciting journey together, which can only benefit our customers.”
Patrick Neugebauer, marketing director Germany of Insta360, was also keen to share his thoughts: “We’re two brands that have respected each other’s progress in our respective industries. Having the chance to work with Cardo accelerates our ability to better serve riders everywhere. It’s an exciting time and we’re eager to get stuck in.”
