Also interesting that Dom is using the Fly6 and 12 for OppClosePass so If its good enough for Police Scotland! </p> <p>Its currently on at £119 on Wiggle were I get cashback. I've signed up to the mailing list, Liked them on Facebook and Googled it a few times so a Discount Offer should hit my Advertising stream any day now! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252897 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 16:00:40 +0000 Frenchy 252897@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Footage seems good, I've not used many cameras to be able to properly compare.</p> <p>The light is excellent - the brighter settings are actually too bright for my liking. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252895 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 15:53:27 +0000 StepRam 252895@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks, @Iain McR (sorry about the auto-Correct!) </p> <p>Was thinking about the light combined with a helmet light might be ok? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252872 Wed, 14 Jun 2017 13:03:56 +0000 dessert rat 252872@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ StepRam - yes, the footage is surprisingly good. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252830 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 20:30:46 +0000 StepRam 252830@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Frenchy &amp; @Iain McR dose is the footage decent? </p> <p>What about the brightness/visibility of the light? </p> <p>Batteries die, they're like people! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252817 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 17:09:43 +0000 Frenchy 252817@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>All I can say is that I haven't had a battery explode on me. Yet, anyway...</p> <p>I also have an extra battery and a soldering iron, if you would like, I'm happy to pass on the battery or try and replace yours for you. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252813 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 16:47:07 +0000 dessert rat 252813@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ Frenchy - lets talk. my battery lasts about 15-30 mins, which is annoying as it is/was great.</p> <p>I looked at a couple of 'how to' sites, but gave up once I read the battery can be a little 'explodey'. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252812 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 16:34:22 +0000 Frenchy 252812@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have one, and I like it. The most annoying thing is the integrated battery - battery life was ~5h initially, but gradually decreased until it was ~45 minutes after two years.</p> <p>I replaced the battery (following this guide: <a href="http://www.dragonflydiy.com/2017/04/easy-repair-cycliq-fly6-battery.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dragonflydiy.com/2017/04/easy-repair-cycliq-fly6-battery.html</a> ) and it's good as new. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252810 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 15:40:07 +0000 StepRam 252810@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks Guys, Been thinking about getting one, I've got a Go Pro Hero 5 Black mounted on my helmet but the addition on a rear aux Camera sounds nice. But not at the expense of a brighter rear light! </p> <p>Just came across this: <a href="https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hexagon-camera-signals-sensors-for-cyclists-bike-gadgets#/updates" rel="nofollow">https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/hexagon-camera-signals-sensors-for-cyclists-bike-gadgets#/updates</a> </p> <p>But finished its funding round and not sure about the bulk of it! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252802 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:48:51 +0000 dessert rat 252802@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Fly 6.<br /> I had one.<br /> It died.<br /> shame. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252796 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:17:52 +0000 ARobComp 252796@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I never did get around to getting one. I got a go pro hero for my outdoor adventures. Maybe need to think about it again with some of the driving I'm seeing while out at the weekends. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-252795 Tue, 13 Jun 2017 14:15:58 +0000 StepRam 252795@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ARobComp did you get one? Any thoughts?<br /> @StilSkin you still liking it? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-186523 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 18:06:01 +0000 stiltskin 186523@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I've got one &amp; I think it is ok for a commuting bike. The light is accepatble, although not eye-searingly bright. Battery life isn't fantastic if you regard it as just a light, but as it is a camera that is understandable .The camera is a good standard for what it is there to do. It ain't perfect &amp; I wouldn't have paid £179 for it (kickstarter). The main advantage is that it just sits on the bike at all times and does its job. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14706#post-186519 Tue, 21 Apr 2015 16:56:37 +0000 ARobComp 186519@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/cycliq-slashes-price-of-fly6-camera-167705" rel="nofollow">http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/news/latest-news/cycliq-slashes-price-of-fly6-camera-167705</a></p> <p>What do people think? </p>
