Why We Like The Varia RCT715 Radar + Camera
The Garmin Varia Radar Camera Tail Light combines three different features into one small package to help us stay safe when we're cycling out on the road. The Varia mounts to our seatpost and connects to our Garmin cycling computer. Once paired, the Varia's rearview radar tells our Garmin when cars are approaching from the rear. There is a built-in camera that continuously records and will automatically save footage if it detects an incident or close-call. There's also an integrated tail light with multiple modes to improve our visibility to traffic.

Fantastic

I have been riding with this for a few weeks. This is a game changer from a safety stand point. The radar is just great and works well. Having the camera is just an added bonus in case of an accident. Riding on the road is getting more dangerous with people on their phones while in a moving vehilce. If something happens, the camera can speak on my behalf. Such a relief having this on my bikes.

Great device, app sucks

The hardware features are great but the companion app is clunky and slow. It’s way quicker tomount the drive to your computer. Bring an external battery for longer rides.
