Why We Built the CamShell X1: Solving Problems Riders Didn’t Know They Had

The CamShell X1 was created to address real issues faced by riders who want to record their journeys. External camera mounts have long been a common solution, but they’re far from perfect. The CamShell X1 eliminates these problems with its integrated camera design, offering a safe, legal, and convenient way to capture rides.

The Problem with External Mounts

• Legal Restrictions: Mounts are often banned in racing due to safety concerns.
• Fragility: Mounts snap easily, leaving expensive cameras vulnerable.
• Inconvenience: Adjusting and reattaching mounts is time-consuming.
• Safety Risks: Mounts weaken helmet structure and disrupt aerodynamics.

Why We Chose GoPro and DJI Osmo

Mass production makes cameras like GoPro and DJI Osmo exceptional. These companies deliver advanced technology at accessible prices because of their scale. Developing a custom sensor would:

• Increase Costs: Without mass production, prices would skyrocket.
• Fall Short Technologically: Competing with industry leaders would take years.

By integrating these cameras, the CamShell X1 offers world-class recording capabilities without compromising affordability or quality.

The Result

The CamShell X1 solves real problems and enhances the riding experience. With its integrated design, riders get a safe, convenient, and reliable way to record their adventures.
