Review on GIZTEK Rear Bike Light Camera Combo: 1080P Full HD, Rechargeable Battery, 32GB Memory Card - Cycling Dashcam with Tail Light by Kevin Carr

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Unstable mount and image - useless as evidence

Lack of image stabilisation, poor performance in wind noise and a weak mounting system make this camera less suitable for its intended use - robust, reliable, always works to catch violators and life-threatening riders who get too close (and, god forbid, actually hit) a body on a bike on the road. I found: - Image stabilization was very poor and I couldn't see the front number plates of passing cars at all while driving - The wedge that was included to attach the seat post fell out despite the double sided tape securing it. The tape was too weak when delivered - the shape of the camera is unwieldy and the underside of the camera directs moving air directly into the microphone. It might be fine at 12mph on smooth roads, but utterly useless at 21mph at a steady pace, let alone 42mph downhill.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Available in white only
