“Very Nice Device. Cant wait to see my videos every time I finish a ride or race. Very nice update from the first generation. Much smaller. Great battery life and memory usage. Great to be able to adjust settings on phone.”
“Work when roads dry.
When the streets are wet, a proper shot is not possible because of the drops in front of the lens.
I must clean glass more than i do.
I live in area with lots of rain d;°)”
“This is a good product that gives me a certain sense of security while out on the road. It is very quick to charge, easy to mount, secure in the mount over rough roads (I only rarely use the strap with it) and rain resistant. Perhaps the rubber protective shell also helps with the rain resistance.
The biggest drawback is the battery life. Even with the rear light off, in practice this doesn't have the same life as the Fly12 camera. Arguably it would be best if the Fly6 had a longer battery life than the Fly12, so that you can start a long ride in low light (or even have the light on during daylight hours for extra visibility to drivers) and be confident that having a flashing rear light on will not shorten the time of video capture. As it is, on such rides I both a Fly6 and a simple old red LED flashing light, just to get the best/most of both functions.
A bigger battery may well make the light much bigger, and I do like the compact size of the current models. But for a long ride I wouldn't baulk at a bigger one.”
