Hi! I have a question, please. When in follow mode or dolly mode, how do I get the drone to fly back towards me and land safely on my hand?

Just come across your video series having started to take my own health and fitness seriously at age 57. Love the topic, your overall approach and of course the stellar production. However, given that you go beyond just "Here's what I do" and make several claims, you might want to add in the notes some evidence for those claims. In some cases it might be hard to find (Autophagy after a 10 hour fast? Not sure you'll find too much support for that), in other cases of course it will be easy but still very useful for readers (blood sugar spikes, glucose control). Also, maybe it might be interesting to say more about why you avoid ultra processed food? Looking forward to watching more and inspired by the videos!

Looks unreal! Are there any spots at the summit or near it where you can pitch? Looking to go tomorrow!

Why would you buy a cycliq when for around the same price you can get an action cam with vastly better video quality? Certainly not for the addition of a mediocre 50 lumen light.

Great video. Thanks❤

Have you tried the milKit system?

Well look what I've just found! I had a feel that you were up to something when I caught up with you! Could have always stopped at Clachaig for some carbs, maybe even of the liquid variety! Love the videos - I just seem to have taken a while to catch up with this one!

Use it or lose it. A cyclist is not done until he cannot mount the bike. Some of us simply ride for 100 years in the easy zones.

Thank you. I was going to get them for my daily commute but you popped them a few times I'll go the cheaper rout.

Did quite some tests with the varia 715 if i was able to read the licences plates (yellow with black prints here) and they were all readable. Also in darker / rainy weather. The radar is just awesome. I think the info on what and how many are behind you is valuable, also the distance. There are data fields available which also indicate the speed of the approaching traffic. Hope garmin does more image stabilizing in the future. Using this radar for over two years now.

The way I use a rear camera is to have it running in case I want to look at footage later, but usually don't. I love having a rear radar, I've used it all over the place, city and country, and I don't like riding without it. For me, the Varia radar/cam/light combo is perfect, and is one unit rather than 2 or 3. If you want to use high quality rear video all the time for some purpose, then maybe the Varia combo isn't best, but in that case I'd probably use a different rear camera anyway. To each his own of course.

Glad to see someone else enjoying Mountain Equipment sleeping bags - a highly UNDERrated company and not well known here in the USA!

I just bought one. Took on my first ride today. Super cool device!

The radar light has saved me a few times & yes once I did dive into a hedge ,but it saved my life .I also use a mirror .I rather get off than get squashed. It does get on my nerves if on a cycle track that turns out to be next to a busy road .

Odd I just watched a very in depth review of the Garmin radar against the new trek one he was able to turn the beeping off so was only through headphones. Magicshine camera rear lights quite clear to I was looking into that but more than likely just buy one the new action cam models for the front these things cost to much dedicated bike cameras and have very little software developed in the way of anti shake, low light etc

Glen Gorm coffee shop is fantastic with accommodating pleasant staff.

I’m deciding on the Fly6 v/s the Fly6 Pro. As for the Garmin Varia, I love Garmin and lots of their products but Cycliq seems to be the leader in bicycle “dashcams”

I'd say of the Vangos the Hydrogen inflatable is the one you want for bike packing. A bit heavier but a lot more useable and packs down really small still.

Yet another KZfaqr who lives in the country and thinks that a Varia is no use in a city because it would never stop beeping. I live in London and have used a Varia for years (as well as a Cycliq Fly 6). I just turn off the beeping and it IS useful because you can "see" gaps in the traffic behind you. This is particularly useful (don't forget to tell your sceptical friend) if you are going to be turning right as, after a quick "over the shoulder" check, you can be confident in moving across to the middle of the road. Also, just because you live in a city, does not mean that you only ever cycle in the city, or even in the busy parts of a city. It's a bike - you can cycle through suburbs and into the country. Amazing!

That crazy 6000 year old concept is the one that is non conforming.

Those hard shell bike boxes are incredibly expensive. I should've imagine sooner or later. Someone will come up with a cheaper version at £600 a pop is too expensive. At the moment. Sad to say it's a cardboard box for me.

Thank you🎉❤ this was fun!

This is awesome! Thank you for this!❤❤❤

I think a Fly Pro at rear ... with a Go Pro Hero Black (with stabilisation) at the front is the best combo.

Great view apart from the CO2 comment. CO2 has zero impact on the climate but plants love it, its plant food!

Hi Good video, do you use 50 or 65 litre rucksacks?

My wife had a couple of the 1080p generations of Cycliq front and rear cameras and loved them, as they were reliable and easy to use. We did finally give up on Cycliq due to lower quality footage and mounts that would break. You gave a good review, and as you point out, how you would use the camera (or radar), is important. We no longer ride road bikes, so the seatpost mount options are irrelevant to our use. We only use GoPro style adapters on front or back cameras. This allows us more mounting flexibility. One thing to keep in mind for many riders is that many of us no longer use the actual video footage as much as we use image captures. (GoPro acknowledged this in their product release as they now downplay the "photo" feature, since few use it.) Due to Instagram and such, more typically, I will grab images of notable occasions on a ride and only occasionally use actual footage. So quality image grabs are super important to me. I used a Sony FDR-X3000 4k for years, but the past few years, I have used GoPro, which has very good images in the video footage on the last two or three models released. Not just image resolution, but great, stabilization, exposure and shadows. Our 1080p Cycliq cameras did not have good image grabs, with poor resolution, poor stabilization and poor exposure in low light. It sounds like Cycliq's current 4k model is much better. With Cycliq's long battery life and ease of use they might be a good choice for some.

I have started doing the Rockport walk test. What an easy, great way to test and compare over time. Thanks!

I agree with everything you say . Only thig is that the weights are not nearly heavy enough. Also it is better to train in a gym because training is a social thing.

I have had three fly 12 front lights which failed in wet weather. All replaced but had to cycle without a light for 3 weeks each time.

The Garmin 30 second problem - this is typical of what I've come to expect from Garmin. My old 520 had so many glitches! I remember there was 1 uphill segment it would always activate the live segment feature, despite me having it turned off, and not even being a Strava premium user. Every single time, for years!

I have a low tech rear view mirror

🙌🙌🙌

Thankyou for your videos. I am 70 and what makes me feel young is being around young people. I do a lot of weight training and running and I always train in a gym where there are lots of young people who have really good energy. All the people I know over 60 have health and mobility issues and all they talk about are their health conditions. I am a musician and I am in front of people all the time and I need to look good and to do that I need to train and have a special diet which is the same as what you describe in this video.

Had bad experiences with both front and rear Cycliq camera lights. After 2 front light failures, I gave up and got my money back. The rear didn't fail but battery life was appalling. Australian design. Don't think they're designed for UK cold/wet weather.

I've been using the Varia 515 (no video capabilities) for several years and it combined with my mirror really helps me 'see' what is behind me. The 515 can detect cars about 450 ft behind (assuming a straight road). On my head unit, the cars appear as dots moving on the side of the main display. I turned off the beeping sound. I can still see if there are cars behind me while looking forward. The best part is that it tells me when there are no cars (or anything else like a faster-moving bike) behind me if I need to pass someone in front of me. For me, the 515 is just one more layer of safety. BTW - I ride in a mixed road condition area, from busy suburban roads to rural country lanes. I'll wait for the next version of the Garmin715, which, I assume, will have a better camera, image stabilization, and editing capabilities.

I use a Varia radar/light unit and find it invaluable here in the New Forest. I often think I hear a vehicle behind me, but it's some sort of illusion. The Varia is connected to my Garmin bike computer, and that quietly shows me if there are really any cars behind. I find this reduces my stress considerably.

This video is terrific, as your comparison shows us the quality of each camera in very important aspects. Your channel is very informative and interesting! Thank you.

Thank you Simon, very interesting. I owned an earlier version of the Cycliq rear facing camera and it proved its usefulness right out of the box. Unfortunately after two years use the device simply stopped working. The customer service interaction with Cycliq at that time really put me off the brand. That said, it is a more mature product than Garmin's and I would recommend it over the current Garmin camera; ideally Cycliq has improved their customer service and quality issues by now. I am a happy user of the basic Garmin Varia light/radar unit in a dense urban area and would not ride without it. It is paired with a Garmin head unit and does not beep constantly if there are multiple vehicles queued behind to overtake. Somehow it consolidates the audible alerts with multiple vehicle detections, otherwise it would drive one mad. I find the audible alerts helpful in an urban setting given the constant scanning I must do in addition to contending with other distractions on the road. It has proven to be an invaluable tool.

There apps that will stitch together multiple, individual vid files. I’ll see if I can locate a good one for you.

Can we be clear that this is part of a series aimed at the older athlete, not someone with underlying conditions or medications which can cause bradycardia (low heart rate).

Is there a Cooper test for cyclists? I have problems with my calves when I run hard, so would rather not do the 12 minute all-out run.

Best content on KZfaq. Amazing

A great video as always. Your comment about planning a meal with a bit of wind before bedding down for the night would have bounced off this Canadian but now after a couple weeks in Scotland I totally get it Cheers from my current staging area near Inverness

Your videos are the only ones i watch at 1x speed! You have such a good vibe. I’m 39 and into the outdoors and longevity stuff. You are how i want to age!

Thumbs up from me. But would have appreciated a mention of the wind noise resistance, if any.

Another grand video and one of my most favourite spots in Northumberland. Love Simonside. Really enjoy all your content. I've also finally worked out, I think, why I recognised your voice as much. I have a feeling you might have worked with my dad at BBC Newcastle. (Apologies if wrong 😂)
