The Fly12 Sport supports FAT32 formatted microSD cards up to 256GB.

The Fly12 Sport supports&#x202F;FAT32 formatted microSD cards up to 256GB. Although higher capacity microSD cards may function it is important to note that use may also introduce stability issues.MicroSD cards used in all Cycliq Fly products and must be able to write consistently and withstand regular power cycling. Some consumer microSD cards do not always meet these criteria and require regular formatting to resolve data corruption issues.A class 10 microSD card is the minimum required speed class. However, to achieve optimum performance the microSD card in your Fly product should be specifically designed for use in dashcams (e.g. Sandisk Endurance, Kingston Endurance).MicroSD cards must be formatted as FAT32. Learn how to format your microSD card as FAT32 by visiting the&#xA0;<a href="https://cycliq-3fs2kxgdpwe.gorgias.help/en-US/1079349-49368ecc7a4641f9b03685bd6ce09569" style=" text-decoration: none;">How to format your microSD card</a> page.

Recording Issues

If for any reason your Fly12 Sport is not lasting for the expected runtime, please try the following.

<h2 id="isPasted">Battery runtime is not as expected</h2>For expected runtimes depending on your usage, please see below. If for any reason your Fly12 Sport is not lasting for the expected runtime, please try the following:<ul><li>Ensure your Fly12 Sport is fully charged (LED will illuminate green)</li><li><a href="https://cycliq-3fs2kxgdpwe.gorgias.help/en-US/1079348-9c3b667aa0f44da1a519b4f04ebe47d5" style=" text-decoration: none;">Update your Fly12 Sport firmware</a></li><li><a href="https://cycliq-3fs2kxgdpwe.gorgias.help/en-US/how-to-perform-a-bench-test-1079350" style=" text-decoration: none;">Perform a bench test</a></li></ul>Once fully charged, place the unit on top of a flat surface and turn it on. We recommend turning off the LED lights so you can check how long the battery lasts in default mode. Note the time you switch the unit on and the time the unit switches off to determine the battery life.If the results from the bench test are well below expected runtime, please create a support ticket with our Customer Support team.<h2 id="expected-runtime">Expected runtime</h2>Your Fly12 Sport runtime will differ depending on your light mode and video settings.Expected runtimes are listed below with the following settings; 1440p@30fps with EIS off.<table width="935"><thead><tr><th>Light and camera mode</th><th>Expected run time</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Camera only</td><td>7 hours</td></tr><tr><td>camera on + low pulse light</td><td>6 hours and 45 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>camera on + low flash light</td><td>5 hours and 45 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>camera on + high pulse light</td><td>5 hours and 15 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>camera on + low solid light</td><td>5 hours and 15 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>camera on + organic light</td><td>4 hours and 15 minutes</td></tr><tr><td>camera on + high solid light</td><td>3 hours and 45 minutes</td></tr></tbody></table>

Battery Issues

The Fly12 Sport has different video resolutions you can choose from.

<h2 id="isPasted">My device is recording with poor quality</h2>The Fly12 Sport has different video resolutions you can choose from.For highest quality recording chose 1440p @30fps. These settings will maximise colour quality, video smoothness and image stabilisation.You can also switch on the Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) for greater stability. Note that enabling EIS will reduce your battery runtime (<a href="https://cycliq-3fs2kxgdpwe.gorgias.help/en-US/battery-issues-1079357" style=" text-decoration: none;">see expected runtimes here</a>).If you think the quality of your footage is poor, check the lens for dirt. When cleaning we recommend a moist, non-abrasive cloth like a sunglasses cleaner or microfibre cloth.<h2 id="my-recorded-files-are-missing">My recorded files are missing</h2>If you notice that you have missing files and you have not deleted them manually, it may be that the recording was looped over by the Fly12 Sport looping function. Average runtime before looping depends on the video settings and number of locked files; this time is generally between 2.45 and 4 hours on 64GB SD card.To save footage from being looped over, press the Q button for 2 seconds to lock that segment.To check your video recording, connect your Fly12 Sport to a computer, open the file explorer, find your device folder and go to DCIM &#x2013; this is where the recordings are stored.You can arrange these recordings in chronological order to ensure all files are visible. If you&#x2019;ve recently formatted your SD card, all files will be erased.If your recorded files are missing and it&#x2019;s not possible that they have been wiped or looped over, please use the button in the top right to contact our support team.<h2 id="my-footage-is-bumpy">My footage is bumpy</h2>Your Fly12 Sport has an Electronic Image Stabilisation (EIS) feature. If your footage is bumpy, it could be because EIS is not enabled. Use the CycliqPlus to toggle EIS on/off by opening the app and connecting your Fly12 Sport. From there go to settings -&gt; video -&gt; EIS.If your footage is still bumpy with EIS enabled, please check your mount.<h2 id="my-footage-is-the-wrong-way-up">My footage is the wrong way up</h2>Your Fly12 Sport will come set up to mount above the handlebar as default. To ensure correct recording orientation please:<ul><li>Ensure that the Fly12 Sport icon is displaying in the correct orientation on the OLED screen when you have your device mounted to your bike.</li><li>If the icon is displaying in the correct orientation, and the footage is still the wrong way up, <a href="https://cycliq-3fs2kxgdpwe.gorgias.help/en-US/how-to-master-reset-your-fly12-sport-1079342" style=" text-decoration: none;">try a master reset</a>.</li></ul> If the video is still the wrong way up, please use the button in the top right to contact our support team.
