    Hi everybody I am hoping someone can help me with this, I bought a rear light/camera unit from Aldi (complete rip off of the fly 6) but unlike the fly this unit turns itself off when on long journeys.

    Any suggestions (within reason knowing some of the comments on this site) would be appriciated.

    BTW at the moment I am running it with a 8gb micro sdhc card will be changing up to a 32gb shortly.

    The longest ride I’ve done so far is 2.5 hours with no problems.

    I don’t think that the capacity of the sd card is relevant, if it’s full it records over what was recorded previously.

     

    I don’t think the Aldi one does Loop recording, just the Fly 6

    I was riding late last night and at one point there’s a 25 minute rural climb. It was pitch black behind me with no cars passing and no street lights and the camera beeped three times as I reached the summit. I thought it was just hitting the 50% charge mark which is also 3 beeps. I got home 30 minutes later and found it had switched off, INCLUDING THE LIGHTS.

    Somewhat dissapointed that it might be broken and that I’d been riding with the main rear light off, I read the manual. No clues.

    Then I read the Fly 6 manual. The Fly 6 switches off after 15 minutes of inactivity. I tested this on the Aldi light. It does this also. I guessed that 15 minutes of pitch black is “inactivity”.
