Today cyclists are becoming more defensive when it comes to cycling in town and generally. So it is no surprise that the market for bike cams is growing. Cycliq launched the first dedicated bike cam with the Fly6 and have now gone back to the drawing board for the Cycliq Fly6 CE – so, is…
The Cycliq Fly12 CE is more than just an update to the previous Fly12. Cycliq have rebuilt their unit from the ground up, and thrown in some very cool little features too. Definatetly an action camera / bike light that any commuter should really be considering
The original Shimano CM-1000 didn’t win any accolades with me – by that read it was a very poor camera. Undeterred Shimano has returned to the crowded action camera market with a new sensor and a couple of interesting new tricks. Let’s see if things have improved enough to worry GoPro?
Action cameras have improved greatly over the last few years. With 4K recording now a common feature, as such, that is not merely enough today, you need to make using the camera an effective and simple experience. With that in mind, let’s focus both on quality and overall usability in this Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 Action…
Fly12 is a product that makes you scream “Why hasn’t someone done that before?” Bike handle bars get cluttered with GPS’, lights, action cameras, possibly even bells. The latest product from Cycliq, the Fly12 action camera and bike light combo attempts to declutter your bars, not with a pair of compromised devices, but with a…
I’ve used the original Garmin VIRB for quit some time. Its a good camera, but has a litany of faults and design quirks. Garmin have released their new VIRB XE, and seem to have completely abandoned their previous design. The approach of the new VIRB XE appears to be very much following the GoPro play…
GoPro are the defining company with regard to the action camera market. BUT to date their products have unashamedly put function over form. The results have been rather…visually unappealing. Boxy, brick-like cameras that are very prominent no matter where you locate them. But now GoPro have the Hero4 Session, a tasteful, subtle little black box….
The action camera market is hotting up, with the inclusion of the latest GoPro Session trying to slim down on the GoPro formulae. Shimano, however, is already there with one of the smallest packages on the market, and with several lessons, GoPro should have taken on board.
GoPro tends to have the market for the generic action camera sewn up. As a result, competitors such as Garmin and Shimano have realised action cameras but with additional sport specific features, such as GPS and ANT+ sensor integration. So from the view of a cyclist, how does Garmin’s first action camera fair in this…
I recently received the a Fly6, V2.0 safety camera/light. Overall I’m very impressed. Even from the moment that you open the box, this is a device that screams – “We thought about that!” However given this is two products in one, does that make the Fly6 a jack of all trades and master of none?
