It's been a couple of years since Foresight released their Mark 1 Smart Helmet. If you've never heard of Foresight before, they've designed a Bluetooth-ready helmet equipped with a built-in camera, microphone and speakers. It also has a peripheral LED display all bundled inside an ECE-20205 lightweight carbon fiber shell and they have just recently launched their Mark 1 S. In this video, we're going to take a look at what's inside the box and the improvements made over the Mark 1. If you'd like a more detailed explanation of the helmet and how it works with the app and the controller, for example, make sure you check out the detailed unboxing video I made a while ago, which I'll link here and at the end of the video. Before we move on, Foresight sent me out the Mark 1 S for me to try out and to make a video on. There's no money involved and they haven't reviewed the video or anything like that either. This is just a video on my general thoughts and my experiences with it that I'm sharing with you guys. Let's go, let's jump in now. Unboxed, baby. Foresight are all about the premium experience even down to the unboxing with attention to detail. When you first open the box, you'll be greeted with a tray of goodies which supply you with your certificate of authenticity, operation guide, USB-C charging cable, a charging adapter, the Bluetooth controller, the Bluetooth controller mount kit, the Foresight Maintenance Tool, and for a limited time launch offer, the instant media access cable is included, more on this later. Underneath the tray we have the helmet itself with a helmet bag included. The Mark 1 S now comes with premium 40mm Harman-Cardin speakers with a newly designed comfort fit cavity. Spaces are also included for a personal audio experience. They recommend to definitely use the spaces and experiment with EQ settings on your phone or streaming servers for optimal sound performance. They send a couple of helmets to Harman-Cardin so the engineers could develop a custom tuning profile specifically for the speaker cavity. Foresight had them focus on enhancing bass response through to the mid-range. They also added a sound deadening material to the bass of the cavity to help enhance sound performance. The speakers sound so good, holy crap, you can pump it up, you've got so much headroom, if you go full ball you're walking a blast years off. The shell is made out of carbon fiber so I feel like the wind noise the wind noise issue that I feel like I'm having I don't get with Premiere but I think it's just because this is a carbon fiber helmet it's very lightweight so when you cruise in the freeway I mean like I'm talking like 80k above you get a bit of wind noise coming through the helmet and you're sort of competing with the speakers anyway but that's just me that's just how I feel about it keeps a headroom very clear very crystal clear which is nice way better than the first one way better than the like one and obviously yeah go into your phone and tune your settings I have the five mil speaker spaces and move the speakers around so the right of your ear holes and you'll be sweet. The new Viser design features an updated mechanism with a quick release pull tab and locking switch. The Marquanes Viser is Pinlock Max Vision 120 ready which is the highest grade of Pinlock available. Pinlock offer a 3070 and 120 where foresight have gone for the best of the best with 120 and the peripheral is super wired you can't even see the little that little line thing around you while you're riding. It's awesome. The camera has had a slight tweak with an improved color tuning profile and even wider filter view. What you're seeing right now is straight out of the camera no color grading same as the microphone audio I haven't put in the EQ at the top of it. The foresight do have some higher competition obviously we're comparing this to action cameras like the S360 and the GoPro and DJI and stuff like that but the whole main reason for them to have a camera in the helmet in the first place is so that for that for that for that exact reason people drive like idiots people hit motorcycles off the road and we literally can have a camera now recording that so you can take that to your insurance company whatever it's a safety device. The bonus with it is that you do have a microphone so you can vlog if you really want to if you don't want to go for road to the amazing stuff you can have a little ride have a little chat without having to strap up a GoPro, lie on all up it'd be nice obviously if they had 4K image stability but you know future models it's the Marquanes S this is just their tiny little upgraded the tiny little tweak version of their Marquanes. So that's the camera. A few aesthetic changes to the shape of the helmet have been made to help improve its aerodynamic capabilities. Now we're talking minimal changes here super minimal this is their Marquanes helmet and the only biggest difference I can sort of see or tell between both helmets is that these vents have been switched around so that's the Marquanes. That's the Marquanes. So they've been reversed. Also just the little contours the shapes all around the helmet have been enhanced. There's a little dig out here is a little bit more noticeable than it is on the Marquanes. So there's little features like that it just gives it a little bit more structural clarity but yeah nothing nothing crazy. Another update that made also is the tab where you open up the visor it's now off-centered so the first one the Marquanes used to be in the middle there so you'd have to open up like that. This one is now offset to the left which makes it a lot more easier when you're cruising down hands on the throttle you can easily just left hand just knock that up a little bit. Also this was the very first notch that you could have open it up to there which is quite large. A lot of air just going in for the very first little you wanted to just be able to crack a little bit which is what they've done with their Marquanes now. That's the first notch there. That's a lot less you can just crack it a little bit of air in. Happy days. The Marquanes standard interior liner features a new sweat absorbent hex sports fabric. I don't have this liner in my helmet. Instead I have the new premium padding which is much more comfy luxurious and quiet which is a big step up. The premium padding is an optional upgrade which in my opinion is well worth it. 3D-formed foam throughout the cheek pads and crown liner offers a contoured fit. The new neck roll design with an extendable chin curtain creates a tighter seal around the neck which significantly reduces noise while providing a better isolation for improved audio performance. Premium sweat weak materials have been selected for durability, comfort and fit. If you love the feel of premium material or ride long freeways on the regular then this is an option that you may want to include. Comfort liner feels fantastic and hugs your head. I've never experienced this with a helmet before. It literally locks in behind your head. Everything is extended chin curtain, keeping your nice warm stuff so the little air holes seeping air in so it's great. In winter in summer you can remove the chin extension, chin curtain, but yeah it feels great. Cutting on my cheeks fantastic, it's not rough, it's a little weird and smells freaking good. The app has also come a long way. The alerts are much smarter now. An algorithm takes into account your direction travelled, speed and what type of road you're on to work out how relevant approaching alerts are to you. The used to just be a permanent 500 meter ring around your location that would catch everything that hits it and the alert would come through the helmet which is why I used to have notifications turned off. Now it's a different story. The app now provides you with the ability to access your media directly from your helmet where you can manage your video files. Woo that's awesome. As well as trim and export clips up to 30 seconds in length which is perfect for sharing your ride on social media without the use of a computer or if you're the pub and you want to share your buddies or you check this out there's a kangaroo that jumped out right in front of me, I swirved it, did it really. Auto record enables you to capture your ride without the need to use the app or the controller. Turn your helmet on and recording starts automatically and your footage is saved when you turn the helmet off. It's perfect. Dashcam mode continuously records until you reach your SD card's storage capacity. Vendil it's the oldest footage on a loop so you can set and forget while capturing everything all the time. As I mentioned earlier while out on the ride four-site is a helmet brand with safety being number one. These guys aren't a camera or communications brand. Absolutely I would love to see them step up the camera game 4K image stability full manual control it'd be the best. All for the bluetooth to be able to connect to other comms units such as kato or center by the way both are something that they're constantly striving for. Four-site are a smart helmet brand pushing the boundaries to help our riding experiences be a safer one or while delivering a premium experience to the customers not only with quality but with customer service. This helmet is perfect for those who want to dashcam without the fuss of having to mount a GoPro with a medium-odd external microphone or having to add inner comms unit if you'd like to listen to music or check to friends. If you aren't a serious video creator and you want to share footage of your ride with some mates with the ability to record your voice while riding or maybe you want to record your track days. Here in Australia you aren't allowed to have an action camera mounted to your helmet on race tracks but the four-site helmet is track approved which is incredible. The team at four-site are here to stay and are pushing the boundaries with the safety, tech and usability and I'm super excited to see what will come next. Hopefully an MX style helmet. I don't do sports. I don't do full face. MX come on guys. I actually know the guys at four-site as well personally. They're based in Sydney and Australian brand which is awesome full local. They're a bunch of awesome dudes that be watching our peace guys. Pooos. We actually went for a ride where we were testing out the live wires to see how far they'd get on a single charge. They're lovely guys and if you have any questions or any concerns or any suggestions reach out to them. The customer service is very very good.
