After being indecisive for so long I've finally pulled the trigger on a bike cam for my commute. Sports Pursuit have the Fly12 for £180 including the normally extra dual computer/cam mount. Seems reasonable since Amazon and Wiggle have just the Fly12 at £219.
Time to become the vigilante bike hero this city deserves!
Through great power comes great responsibility!
I've always thought the Fly12 as athough neat, is too expensive. It's a below par light with an average camera. My VIRB v1 is older, same quality recording (1080p & eco mode 720p), with longer battery life (5-6 hours & replaceable batteries) and only cost me £72 in a black friday deal back in 2015. The FLY12 only has it's '10 hours battery life' if you run it on 720p without the light operating. I'm expecting its day to day life is comparable to the VIRB at 4-5 hours (1080p & some light)?
It's a great concept and neat unit, but 400 lumen is too low and battery technology just isn't advanced enough for a decent light & camera combo with decent battery life. You're better off buying a VIRB if you want a 'cycling specific' camera. But lets be honest the cycling metrics/features although neat, are not really safety orientated.
For me the Gopro session is a much better unit, battery life is pretty low but otherwise it's superbly small, light & decent camera. I'd own one if my VIRB wasn't still going (quite surprising it's still alive the amount of work & abuse it's had).
NEW SHOES!
