Cycle Cameras / Helmet Cams (GoPro, Drift, Veho, Contour, Fly6, Fly12, SJCAM, Apeman, 1080p, etc.)

dunno then, try the support forum

have you tried another sd card?

Just got another one now, hopefully this will do the trick.

New larger micro SD card worked. Must be the write speed it couldn’t handle on a older micro SD card. Thanks everyone.

Anyone needing some mounts, arms and straps for their GoPro? £10 for the set?

Is it possible to disable the watermark(s) on Fly6 (the original one) and Apeman cameras?

I think via the app yeah

Mine is the original one. No app.

Regarding the new version:

It doesn't get very glowing reviews. Did they fuck the design up? Is the CE version better than the original or am I going to have to keep replacing it due to water ingress since they moved the charging port to the top?

They’ve just released the gen3, no idea if it’s any better.

Reckons 4hrs (5 with lights off). I wonder how long the previous versions (claimed to) last?

200 fucking quid?!

I've got 2 gen2 fly6 in a draw. Want one? Mine worked just find recording shit head drivers. The rubber bung is a bit poor, but just make sure its closed. I never had water issue.

I'll probs come to london next week or so.

Anyone with a broken Apeman want to get rid of their old case? Want to try and set it up ready to go on a couple of bikes so just the camera has to be swapped over.

I'm down yet another Fly6

They seems to break conveniently after any sort of warranty period ends, and customer support is utter balls.

What are the alternatives. though?

How'd it break? My original one is still going fine and so is the cheapshit Chinese copy that the missus uses. Is yours the newer version? I was going to get one off @skinny but he's been busy pummeling his sitbones into new shapes recently.

Don't want stuff on my lid though.

How'd it break?

It (and the preceding 2*) broke by being used. They just stopped either charging, or recording for more than 2 minutes.

* 4 if you include the kickstarter ones

Are you pressure washing them? Do you use SuperCheapBudget SD cards? Did I just get lucky?

Are you pressure washing them?

Euph?

I use them on bikes with mudguards, so it';s not as if they even get road spatter.

SuperCheapBudget SD

Unless the ones I'm buying are fakes, they should eb the ones recommended by Cycliq

Did I just get lucky?

I may just be unlucky

My only guess is that they use some weird proprietary USB driver, and that connecting up to a non-windows machine makes it unhappy.

I know that the Fly12 uses non-standard firmware on the USB interface - I looked into it when it wouldn't play nicely, and discovered that they don't follow the standard properly (although the details are lost to time).

Don't think I've ever plugged mine in - I stick the MicroSD directly into the computer. If a non-Windows machine is the reason for the issues, then that's really shit.

Ok, that might be it. I use Windows only. Did you format the cards in Linux or something?

https://support.cycliq.com/support/solutions/articles/13000059688-how-to-format-your-sd-card

The cards are formatted as FAT32, albeit using a linux box to do so.

It shouldn't make a difference, but I'll take the point & format using a windows machine.

Obligatory hippy is FAT32

Yeah, it shouldn't, but who knows how sensitive their shit is to that kind of thing. Something to try before dumping them into the ocean.

My fly6 has died. What is the current forum approved rear facing light/camera?
