Garmin Varia Vue Smart Bike Light and Camera

The Garmin Varia Vue Smart Bike Light and Camera gives you both peace of mind as well as a bright front light. The Varia Vue combines a 600-lumen headlight with a 4K camera that captures your ride in stunning detail. This light and camera combo mounts to the underside or sport mount of your computer mount. It offers up to 7 hours of battery life with both the light on and camera recording. With multiple camera and light settings, you can use this smart bike light and camera however is needed without worrying about battery life.

The front-facing camera records up to 4K at 30 frames per second and includes voice-recording from its onboard microphone. In the event of a crash or sudden stop, incident detection saves video from before, during, and after the event. This makes sure your video is saved when it matters most. When paired with a compatible device like your Garmin Edge computer, you can control the light or camera settings from your headunit or the Varia app. This means you can adjust light brightness, light mode or when you begin and end camera recording.

For cyclists who already use Garmin’s ecosystem of products, the Varia Vue is a natural upgrade. Because it integrates with your Garmin Edge head unit or smartwatch, video syncing is seamless. This light and camera combo is built for riders who demand visibility, safety, and smart tech – without adding clutter to their cockpit.

Considerations

The Garmin Varia Vue offers a lot of advanced features, but it does require a microSD card for video recording which is not included in the box. Also, If you want to back up your footage to the cloud, a paid Garmin Vault subscription is needed. These aren’t dealbreakers for most riders, but they’re worth considering as you plan how you’ll use the device.
