“Just a few things
The light I am quite happy with but the battery life could be slightly better, on my 4 hr rides it seems to die (flashing mode). I also struggle to get get the recordings from the light
The strap to hold the light on the seat post has to be one of the worst things I ever tried to put onto my bike over the 35 years of bike riding. I had to go elsewhere and purchase a better bracket, I would strongly advise research into a better bracket for the Fly6 and charging that extra £10 or £20 and adding it into the deal. The new bracket that was 3d printed I got elsewhere is fantastic.
Light its self 7/10
Bracket strap 2/10
Overall thoughts:
If the light was sold without the case and strap I would say it is the best out there but the strap and case takes the quality right down.
P.S. I have 15 years experience as a toolmaker & designer and this is not a product I would put my name to or recommend to a friend because of the few issues.”
“I'm sure it protects the lens well. I found that it doesn't adhere completely and I'm a bit frustrated about that but the places it isn't adhering are places that are not close to the actual lens. I think it's worth having but I'd prefer better adhesion.”
“I would not have bought this camera if I had understood that the only tranfer of video was to remove the mircoSD card. For the price this unit should send files via bluetooth to the App. Also, the video card is difficult to remove because of the recessed compartment. The handlebar mount is not adjustable to get a direct angle or level shot if your handlebars do not have a straight section that can be used. The timestamp on the video is in the same corner MS file transfer uses to display the video file name.”
“It works well enough but doesn't provide sufficient options to actually mount it to my rack. I had to go to a local hardware store to buy additional metal screws, nuts, and brackets in order to adapt the mount pack to my rear rack.
You need to provide a 90-degree bend bracket for racks where the only mounting holes are horizontal.”
“Barely sufficient for its purpose. It grabs footage that's good enough to see a license plate. Image stabilization is wonky: it's like watching video projected on a screen that's rippling. That renders the footage more or less useless for anything other than identifying a car after an incident.
Battery life seems adequate. Lack of external battery precludes carrying an extra. It does charge fairly quickly though.
It's frustrating that the app doesn't allow viewing/exporting/deleting of footage. You have to actually connect the sd card to a separate device.”
“While trying to tighten the adapter to my seat post the metal loop that the strap passes through snapped. Disappointing when having to pay this much for an adapter which turns out quite expensive when the cheapest postage available was around £10.”
