About The Garmin Varia Vue Cycling Camera and Headlight

See the Road Ahead, and Keep a Record of It

The Garmin Varia Vue Cycling Camera and Headlight is a 600-lumen smart headlight and 4K camera in one unit, with incident detection that saves footage automatically.

Overview

The Garmin Varia Vue combines a bright smart headlight with a forward-facing 4K camera. It lights your way, makes you visible to traffic up to a mile away, and records the ride in front of you. If its accelerometer detects an incident, the Vue locks that footage automatically so it can’t be overwritten (microSD card required, sold separately; jurisdiction restrictions may apply).

Paired with a compatible Garmin Edge® cycling computer, the Vue works as part of your cockpit. It adjusts brightness to your speed and the ambient light, uses a cutoff beam to avoid blinding oncoming riders and drivers, and can be controlled from your head unit. Add the Varia™ RCT715 radar camera tail light and you can record front and rear footage at the same time.

Key Features

  • 4K video with stabilization: Record in 4K30, 1440p30, 1080p30 or 1080p60. Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) smooths out road buzz.
  • Automatic incident protection: The built-in accelerometer detects an incident and locks the footage so it’s preserved.
  • Up to 600 lumens: Five light modes (high, medium, low, night flash, day flash), with side illumination for visibility from more angles and a daytime visibility range of up to 1 mile.
  • Smart light control: Auto brightness adjusts to your speed and light conditions, and a cutoff beam shapes the light, both when paired with a compatible Edge.
  • Radar-activated recording: When paired with a compatible Varia rearview radar, the camera can begin recording when vehicles approach from behind.
  • Ride data in your footage: Overlay GPS speed and location when paired with a compatible Garmin Edge, Garmin smartwatch or the Varia app.
  • Full app control: Use the Varia app to control light and camera functions, transfer and edit video, and add data overlays.
  • Secure cloud storage: With a Garmin Vault subscription, locked footage uploads automatically over Wi-Fi®. A free trial is available for new users.
  • Built for weather: IPX7 water rating for rides in rain and wet roads.

Who It’s For

The Varia Vue is for riders who spend real time on shared roads: commuters, early-morning and evening trainers, and anyone who wants a dependable front light and an objective record of the ride. It fits especially well in a Garmin setup. Riders already using an Edge or Varia radar get the most from its automation.

The Victory Perspective

A headlight camera only helps if it’s positioned well and set up properly. Our team can mount the Vue so the beam and camera angle suit your bike and riding position. We can pair it with your Edge and Varia radar and configure recording modes for how you ride. Ask us during your next visit or fit appointment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer free shipping?

We do offer free shipping on non-bike orders over $100. We do not offer free shipping for bicycles unless it is a one time promotion. Generally, bike shipping will cost $150 and that covers just the shipping of the bike with no assembly. If you were to bring that bike to your local mechanic or bike store, you would pay them their assembly fee. If you choose our Professional Assembly option for $200, our service technicians would assemble the bike before shipping and then re-pack the bike safely for transit. When you receive the bike you would attach the front wheel, attach the seatpost/saddle, and raise the handlebars and clamp them. Those three items do have to be detached to minimize or eliminate the chance of damage in transit.

How much does shipping cost?

For orders of parts, accessories, apparel, etc. on orders under $100, shipping is a flat rate of $9.99. Regular bike shipping without assembly is $150, bike shipping with Professional Assembly is an additional $200 (so $350 in total which includes the $150 of regular shipping). Our White Glove Delivery option is $699 and that will cover the assembly of the bike and our White Glove Delivery partner delivering your dream bike to your front door, ready to ride!

How can I track my order?

When you place your online order, you will receive an instantaneous email update with your order number and order details, and shortly after, you will receive a follow up order email with the tracking number for your order.  If you still need assistance with your order, feel free to email us at online@victorybicyclestudio.com and we will respond asap.
