LeightonI have been using this device for 3 weeks and so far it has not disappointed. General comments, 1) Cars now give me a wide birth when passing, I assume drivers recognise a possible rear facing camera on the bike, 2) The radar is excellent and has integrated seamlessly with my Garmin 830 head unit, 3) Camera footage is great in daylight for the intended purpose of capturing vehicle reg plates, or other incidents, however not the best in low light conditions, 4) The mount is very solid and has a really positive locking mechanism, 5) the light is very very bright, 6) The app isn't that bad for reviewing footage, not instant but you get what you need and there is always the USB-C port for viewing on a PC. Overall, an excellent product, it is expensive but worth having if you want an all-in-one safety device and camera for reporting those close passes.
