“I like the camera and light combo very much and does the job that I want. I particularly like the fact that the battery life is about 5 hours. I do 2.5 hour rides so I’ve not run out of battery.
I also like the fact that it records in HD and overwrites old files so requires little or no management.
Charging is also very fast.
The product lets itself down in the way it connects to the bike with the use of velcro straps. The ones I received had a plastic coating on one side which immediately started to disintegrate. I eventually had to remove it from the strap. Once I was able to connect the strap i noticed the end flapped which is not good for aero dynamics, so I had to trim it to fit. After a few rides it starts to get loose. I’ve not yet test tested it in the wet.
Given that you provide a safety harness for the actual camera I expect you are not too confident in it either.
A better connector would be a tight rubber strap as seen on Knog bikes lights.”
“The image quality is very good. The sound is not good, but acceptable. However, I am bothered by the choice between Full HD/30 fps and HD/60 fps. HD/30 fps and Full HD/60 fps would make more sense. Sometimes the camera simply won't connect to the PC, and the only thing that helps is turning it on and off several times. I also find the control via Bluetooth AND GPS negative. Why the hell do I have to turn on GPS to change the settings??? I don't like sharing my location with the Five Eyes and Australian companies. The blocking of files in the event of an accident is very imprecise. Sometimes the camera blocks files even though there was no accident, and when I fell recently nothing was blocked. Conclusion: Good camera with weaknesses.”
“It often doesn't record, even though it has been turned on correctly and gives all of theh indications it is working (and the lights are operating). When it does record, sounds drops out 5 minutes into every recording segment (set at 10 mins). I purchased this unit to replace a Cycliq fly6 CE, which stopped working.
When the unit recorded it was just fine and quality was good. The light is fine, but if you're after a reliable recording device, I cannot recommend, following the problems I have experienced.”
“Have had mine for almost a year. From time to time, it likes to shut off all lights, including the camera circle, even though it’s still on and recording. I reached out to Cycliq and they gave me a way to fix it, but it only holds for a while and eventually the issue will arise again. A light that shuts itself off randomly isn’t what I would call safe. Also, it seems to go into a standby mode a lot when I try to turn it off, which sucks a lot of battery life when not using the light. I commonly go to use it after a day off and it’s dead. Not please with this light, and do not recommend it. Quality is low and it’s very glitchy.”
