Capture crisp ride footage and light your path with the Varia™ Vue cycling camera headlight
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I just started using the new Varia Vue, and right away it feels like a big step forward in ride safety and visibility. The 4K video is super sharp, and I love that it starts saving footage automatically if something goes wrong. Pairing it with my Edge computer took seconds, and the auto-adjusting headlight is surprisingly smart—especially when riding through changing light."
When we’re chasing sunsets or navigating dawn patrol rides, having gear that multitasks like the Garmin Varia™ Vue keeps us confident and focused. Garmin packed this compact device with a sharp 4K camera and a bright, adaptive headlight so we can light up the road ahead and capture everything in our path—whether it’s an epic group ride or a close call.
The Varia Vue automatically adjusts brightness based on our speed and light conditions when synced with a compatible Edge® computer. It records continuously and even saves footage before, during, and after an incident, thanks to its built-in smart sensors. With up to 7 hours of battery life in day flash mode and seamless control through the Varia™ app or Edge device, it’s a smart, streamlined way to enhance our ride footage and safety all at once.

Overweight, unreliable, and total waste
- Familiarity:
- I've used it several times
I purchased this specifically for RAAM 2025. I used it successfully at home for just over two weeks for testing, then it stopped syncing with the app. I reset it multiple times and it sporadically just stopped ring recognized by the app. I contacted their tech support and they said “oh yeah, we’re getting report of this problem….you’ll need to send it back for replacement….sorry for the inconvenience” so here I am 1,000 miles into RAAM and the only thing this piece of crap is being used for is a night light in the van. Well, at least I was able to use the mount so I can use my Reliable GoPro for FPV records of descents like Glass Elevator” DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY, you’ll be sorry. Also, the thing weighs something like 3lbs, it’s like mounting a brick on your bike, and it strains the out front garmin mount. You think they’d actually realize that their heavy camera combined with a head unit is too much for their out front garmin mount Another poor product from Garmin. I’ll stick with MagicShine moving forward
