Cycle Factory Shop is excited to announce the launch of the new and improved Fly6 tail-light / HD camera combo.
Fly6 is the first HD camera and tail-light combo designed specifically for cyclists. The innovative safety device replaces your existing tail-light and records what happens behind you in real-time. The name Fly6 blends two phrases: “A fly on the wall,” for watching and listening where you normally can’t, and “6”, which is the military term for “your back” (as in 6 o’clock).
“The original Fly6 has been widely received by the cycling community, making its way onto thousands of bikes in just a short time,” says Andrew Hagen, CEO of FlyLites. “It was also recently the recipient of a major industry award from Outside Magazine. The new version builds on the device’s existing safety features while decreasing its footprint. The Fly6 makes a great gift for the avid cyclist.”
Building on the very successful launch, the new Fly6 is 20% smaller than the first version, measuring just 87mm high and weighing 113g. It also offers up to 50% brighter light output and up to six hours run time. In addition, the camera sensor and lens has been upgraded to provide better low light image capture. Like its predecessor, it features 1020 x 720 HD camera footage, audio recording, and looping record for set and forget use; a USB-rechargeable battery; and Nano Technology for withstanding wet conditions. The Fly6 also integrates incident capture technology, which ensures important footage isn’t looped over in the event of a serious incident.
In rigorous testing, the Fly6 bike light and camera has proven more than capable of capturing car license plates–which gives cyclists who’ve experienced road rage some leverage against bullying drivers. Instead of just wheeling the crumpled bike home and breathing a sigh of thanks that they’re still alive, victims of a hit and run have some concrete evidence to bring to the authorities.
Fly6 comes with everything you need to start out-of-the-box, including an 8 GB Class 10 microSD card, two seat post mounts for use on two bikes, and an Aero seat post adaptor. It is suitable for commuting, racing, MTB, touring, and peloton riding, recording what’s going on behind you so you can enjoy the road ahead. The device recently won the Interbike 2014 Outside Magazine’s Gear of the Show Award for the accessory category.
