The "Varia Vue" from Garmin is a front light and camera in one device. It is designed to automatically document (near) accidents in 4K quality.
My colleague Patrick recently presented the product, and now we have it in the shop: the "Varia Vue" front light from Garmin. What makes it special is that it has an integrated 4K camera for video recording, which serves as a dashcam.
Lighting and light modes
The front light achieves a maximum brightness of 600 lumens in flashing mode and 550 lumens in continuous light. There are five different light modes to choose from: a day and a night flashing mode, different brightness levels in continuous mode and a low beam. The light should automatically adapt to your speed and the light conditions in your surroundings, provided it is connected to an compatible Edge bike computer.
In daytime flashing mode, the battery lasts up to seven hours, while in low continuous light mode it lasts up to four hours. The device is charged via a USB-C port.
Video recording in 4K quality
The integrated camera records videos in 4K resolution. Image stabilisation ensures stable recording even on uneven roads. An integrated microphone records the sound. An acceleration sensor detects sudden movements - for example in the event of an accident - and automatically starts video recording.
Recorded data is stored locally on a microSD card, which is not included in the scope of delivery. Further information on suitable memory cards can be found here. Optionally, videos can be uploaded to a cloud via a paid Garmin subscription. With the "Varia" app, you can control light and camera settings and edit videos.
