Garmin (GRMN) has introduced the Varia Vue, its latest cycling accessory uniting a 600-lumen headlight with a built-in 4K camera to enhance safety for cyclists. This innovative device is engineered to automatically record and save footage when it detects an incident. Additionally, users can synchronize the Varia Vue with the Varia RCT715 radar taillight camera for dual-angle recording capabilities.
Key features of the Varia Vue include Electronic Image Stabilization for clear video capture, and five adaptive light modes that adjust according to speed and environmental conditions.
