Garmin Varia RCT715 Rearview Radar with Camera and Tail Light UK-France, Black

Love this it is easy set up.Fantastic video footage, great light.Robust bit of kit, doesn’t snap into holder you lock it in so it isn’t going anywhere.Bought this as cars were coming very very close to me in fact one day I could touch the car, freaked me out, so invested in this.It’s great for warning you how many cars are behind you especially if you are coming up to a turn and need to move to centre line.You normally take a Quick Look over your shoulder but you can never tell how many cars are there, this tells you so you can adjust your speed and manoeuvre safely.You can add the Varia app on your phone or it will sync with a Garmin 830 which I have.

Fantastic piece of kit, love the radar which gives such a clear early notification of traffic approaching and can be easily controlled from your garmin head unit 👍

read a lot about this as its a lot of money to spend , but in the end its got all 3 radar camera light hence RCT used it for the first time yesterday and its unbelievably good !!!! the radar alarms at bikes let alone cars coming from well over 100 metres plus away the light is bright as hell and when downloading the footage via air drop it took literally seconds to do not the faff id read about im no IT genius but i managed to download as many clips as i wanted as i say by airdropping them to my phone by taking the card out and putting it into an adapter couldn't be easier the piece of mind with the radar = very impressive bit of kit. worth every penny especially handy for those solo rides

I brought this initially for the camera, along with a GoPro 11 for the front of the bike. My commutes are very early morning and dark. The picture on this was better than the GoPro when shooting in the dark. Even after making all the tweaks I could on the GoPro I still found this took better pictures. I was able to read plates at night. It wasn't perfect but it was acceptable.The radar was a game changer for me. With the introduction of "wands" to separate cycles and cars, I find it much harder to merge with traffic to make a right hand turn. This helps out a lot. It's not perfect but it gives a fairly good idea when not to merge. You get to see multiple vehicles and can judge their speed, withouut having to look over your shoulder.The downside is the software. There is an option to extend the clips up to 5 minutes each but unfortunately it doesn't work. My clips are all 30 seconds long.To copy from the device I don't use their software. Instead I simply plug it in to a pc, it appears as a device, and I copy off manually. I don't need to turn it on to do this (unlike the gopro). However the speed is very slow compared to the gopro - roughly 1/4 of the speed. I suspect they saved a few cents using dated hardware which is a real shame.Overall, very happy with it.

The media could not be loaded.  This will record crystal-clear footage of everything behind you and has the battery life for century rides at 1080p resolution. Coupled with the already excellent traffic radar, it is next-level tech that does its job perfectly.BUT...I recorded a 90 minute ride yesterday and needed five minutes of footage for a police report (a crazy van guy is going to lose his job!). Problem is, this stores your entire ride in 30-second blocks, so for an hour and a half, you have 180 clips to sift through. Yes, they're time-stamped, but you're not going to remember the exact time when you're back home looking for the moment something happened. Viewing them is slow, despite my phone being right next to it and connected to it by wifi.If your Garmin head unit detects an incident, it automatically stores a 90 second clip showing just before and after, and stores that in a separate 'locked' tab, which would be great, but not all incidents are going to be detected, like this one wasn't.Anyway, the attached video shows the time it takes to download just one 30-second clip, I had to do this TEN times and you can't queue multiple for download, you must do them one by one.C'mon Garmin, sort this crap out BEFORE bringing an otherwise great product to market. Somebody on their team actively decided against making this process easier, as it is an obvious shortcoming and would have been brought up in development meetings.

De plus en plus de voiture frôle les cyclites , déjà eu quelques sursaut cette année .J'ai pris ce modèle pour avoir la caméra en plus , celle ci prend de bonne photo et vidéo ( attention si vous activé le mode continue les clips seront enregistré minute après minute )couplé avec un edge 1040 l'alerte est direct et vous avez une ligne avec une distance pour évaluer ou ce trouve la voiture .L'autonomie est correct 5-6h max en journée avec feu et enregistrement continue , la carte sd est fournie avec et le port de recharge est en usb C .Je sais pas si les automobiliste sont plus capter par le feu mais il me semble qu'il s'écarte plus ou quand la place est limite il adapte mieux leur vitesse .En tout cas je ne regrets pas mon achats et j'aurais du investir plutôt

Prodotto eccezionale lunga durata alta qualità video e audio inoltre radar efficacissimo e potente luce posteriore a registrazione continua e luci diurne lampeggiante dura poco meno di 6 ore

Like quality feel of Radar/Camera & audible alerts of vehicles approaching from behind. Still having pairing & set up issues as pdf instructions are vague & assume advanced knowledge of Bluetooth/wifi connectivity.

c'est du GARMIN .la camera , le systeme éclairage, le faite de voiture les voiture arriver sur le Garmin edge ..par contre cela film des sequence 1mn mais en continue , j'ai pas trouvé pour filmer en continue non stop..il faudrait un feu pour mettre devant avec le meme systemeenfin bravo

Garmin una garanzia dispositivo preciso e impeccabile. Utilissimo per chi come me và in bici dà strada. Ho deciso di prenderlo dopo aver subito un incidente e fra le altre cose chi mi ha investito é fuggito senza prestare soccorso.
