The Garmin Varia™ Vue is a cycling camera and smart headlight designed to capture the ride while improving visibility. This configuration records crisp 4K video (memory card required; not included) and automatically saves footage before, during and after an event if an incident is detected.
Built around a superbright headlight with up to 600 lumens and multiple light modes, Varia Vue suits road cyclists and commuters who want clear video playback, adaptable lighting and streamlined control. It’s compatible with Edge® flush out-front mounts and can be managed from a compatible Edge® cycling computer or through the Varia™ smartphone app for quick adjustments while riding.
Audio
Varia Vue records in 4K30 as well as 1440p30, 1080p30 and 1080p60, helping preserve clear footage for playback. Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS) supports smoother-looking video, and a built-in microphone captures audio to complement what the camera sees on the road.
Display
The integrated headlight offers high, medium, low, night flash and day flash modes, with output up to 600 lumens in day flash. Auto brightness control adjusts to speed and light conditions, and the cutoff beam design helps minimize light intensity above the cutoff line to preserve the vision of oncoming traffic.
Navigation
Camera and light settings can be adjusted from a compatible Edge® bike computer or in the Varia™ app. ANT+® and BLE support bike lights and camera control, and GPS speed and location info can be added in video when paired to a compatible Garmin Edge, Garmin smartwatch or the Varia App.
When an incident is detected, the onboard accelerometer triggers autolock so video is automatically saved before, during and after the event. This hands-off capture is designed for real-world riding, where it can be difficult to react quickly. Video recording and storage require a memory card (not included); see the specifications below for supported microSD™ requirements and details.
Varia Vue battery life varies by recording resolution and light mode. With 1080p30 recording, it provides 1.5 hours high, 2.5 hours medium or night flash, 4.5 hours low, 7 hours day flash, and 9 hours camera only. With 4K recording, it provides 1.25 hours high, 2 hours medium or night flash, 3.5 hours low, 5 hours day flash, and 6 hours camera only.
For riders building a broader view of the ride, Varia Vue can be paired for multi-angle capture. It can simultaneously record rear-facing footage with the Varia™ RCT715 radar camera tail light to match up with front-facing footage from the Varia Vue headlight camera. Camera modes also include radar-activated operation when paired with compatible Varia™ rearview radar.
