“Happy with the quality of the footage although image stabilisation would be nice to bring it up to the level of the Fly12 Sport.
I'm interested to see how things will hold up over winter - the device is already showing signs of wear from daily use in the rain and dirt. I'd be suprised if I get a year of solid commuting out of it but we'll see.
Also the strap mounting system is complete junk and makes the whole set up look cheap. I've replaced it with a custom 3D printed mount and it looks much tidier.”
“On my first ride with my new fly6, the camera came off the mount, luckily I did use the safety strap. It was locked into the mount but it is not very secure.
I would recommend a better method to attach the fly6 to the bike mount.”
“Battery life is shorter than 12 so get home with front film and no rear video. However the resolution is excellent and small size is great. Again dislike the proprietary 1/8th turn mount with 4 road bikes swapping mounts is a bore”
“My review so far is that I live in Calgary Canada, and during the time I have had the camera, it has been mostly -20C, and we don't ride outside, so the camera looks cool on my fireplace mantle.”
“Easy to use however can't download videos unless directly attached or remove the SIM Card. With a relatively limited battery life, would be good to have a waterproof charging port. I had to encapsulate the entire connector area in silicone to accomplish this. Image quality is good but not great at capturing license plates. A higher resolution image sensor in a next generation version would be much appreciated. This is the best on the market at this point (which I could find), but definitely could be improved. Finally, would be great if it would ship with both a seat mount and a flat mount.”
“Overall, while my new Fly6 is performing well (as far as i know), I have one issue with it, which is battery life. So far, i havn't managed to get past 4 hours, which means that on a long training ride, the battery will run out. As i'm running a Fly12 as well, it would be useful if the battery life of the two products was equivalent (and as long as the Fly12, which is just acceptable for my use). I'd be happy to accept a slightly larger and heavier Fly6 to gain an extra 2 to 2.5hrs run time. If that was addressed, i'd score the new Fly6 5 out of 5.”
