“I bought this cam to somehow feel better biking out to my job in the traffic. We use it alternatively with my wife depending on who is working. Film, sound, and locking work fine.”
“I was unsure about getting this device as I have lots of rear lights for my bikes, but wanted a camera, I had considered a separate camera unit but opted for this all in one, especially for my commute. The price was a little steep, however I will say that it works as it should and pretty much straight out of the box. Considering everything is included, so no other faffing around with SD cards etc.. I have it mounted on my commuter bike, which also has a rear rack and I carry a convertible pannier bag/rucksack on the rear, despite this, the camera can be positioned to get a clear view of the action behind me. The footage has been clear and detailed enough for me to submit two close pass reports to my local police service as evidence and I could identify the reg number and vehicle type from the footage. Overall I am impressed by the footage and the small package for the light & camera. It's pretty easy to take on and off, although an option for a more permanent mounting would be nice.
For my other road bike, I have a saddle-mounted bag, which pretty much obstructs the view for the camera when fitted to the seat tube, so I have had to purchase an additional 3rd party mount to fit the rear clip feature of my saddle bag, additional expense and I don't see a solution from Cycliq for this scenario.
The device is easy to use, it remembers previous settings, so it is simple to power on and go, just remember to power off and remove it when you get to your destination. Easy enough to review footage on PC, via mobile app would be nice. Overall the device does what it needs to, captures good quality footage and is simple to operate. Delivery was pretty quick and good communication throughout the process.”
“Good quality video. Small form factor. Good battery (longest ride so far four hours and plenty of juice left with blinking mode). Love that someone thought to make a product like this. Also cool to post action shots of group rides onto Strava. Love that their app can overlay live Strava stats (speed, grade, distance, etc.,) onto the video for super pro look.”
“So far I am enjoying the video footage as it adds another fun perspective on telling a story from a bike ride. I hope I never need the footage from an accident but it is good to know it will be there in case I need it. I used some video footage for Instagram and YouTube and the response has been fun.”
“The photo quality is good and the camera life is good the only issue is I cannot get the camera off the mount so I leave it attached and take the camera and the mount off together when I need to charge it
Also the app for downloading the footage I find difficult to use and cannot seem to export the video clips.”
