The Fly6 GEN 3 supports FAT32 formatted microSD cards up to 128GB.

<p id="isPasted"><strong>The Fly6 GEN 3 supports&#x202F;FAT32 formatted microSD cards up to 128GB. Although higher capacity microSD cards may function it is important to note that use may also introduce stability issues.</strong></p><p>microSD cards used in Fly products must be able to write consistently and withstand regular power cycling. Typical consumer microSD cards (e.g. earlier Sandisk Extreme units) do not always meet these criteria and require regular formatting to resolve data corruption issues.</p><p>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).</p><p>microSD cards must be formatted as FAT32.

For expected runtimes depending on your settings please see below.

<h2 id="isPasted">Battery runtime is not as expected</h2><p>For expected runtimes depending on your settings please see below. If for any reason your Fly6 Generation 3 is not close to the expected runtime, please try the following:</p><ul><li>Ensure your Fly6 Generation 3 is fully charged (LED will illuminate green)</li><li><a href="https://cycliq-3fs2kxgdpwe.gorgias.help/en-US/1079374-12156cb95c234586868540694de74fac" style=" text-decoration: none;">Perform a bench test</a></li></ul><p>If the results from the bench test are well below expected runtime and your firmware is up to date, please use the button in the top right to contact our support team</p><h2 id="expected-runtime">Expected runtime</h2><p>Your Fly6 Generation 3 runtime will differ depending on your light mode and video settings. With the lights and camera active, device battery will last up to 4 hours, and will run for up to 5 hours on camera only mode.</p><p><strong>Note</strong>: Depending on the age of your unit, battery deterioration can be expected. Road conditions and scenery complexity (eg. a desert as opposed to a forest) can also affect battery runtime as the EIS and higher bitrate will consume more power. Colder temperature also affects battery runtime.</p>

Our Fly devices have different video resolutions you can choose from.

<h2 id="isPasted">My device is recording with poor quality</h2><p>Our Fly devices have different video resolutions you can choose from. For highest quality recording, please select 1080p @ 30 FPS (frames/second).</p><p>Also, ensure you check the lens of the device for any dirt or residue which may obscure the footage. When cleaning we recommend you get a wet non-abrasive cloth like a sunglasses cleaner or microfibre cloth.</p><h2 id="my-recorded-files-are-missing">My recorded files are missing</h2><p>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 Fly6 Generation 3 looping function.</p><p>Average runtime before looping depends on the video settings; this time is generally between 2.5 and 3.5 hours for a 32GB SD card. To save footage from being looped over, you can press the Q button for 2 seconds to lock the current segment of footage or tilt your bike more than 30 degrees to trigger Incident Protection mode.</p><p>To check your video recording, connect your Fly6 Generation 3 device to a computer, open the file explorer, find your device root folder and go to DCIM then 100_RIDE &#x2013; this is where the recordings are stored. Recorded segments begin with IMG, locked footage files begin with LCK. 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.</p><p>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.</p><h2 id="my-footage-is-bumpy">My footage is bumpy</h2><p>Your Fly device supports Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) which reduces the level of blur or distortion in recorded footage.</p><p>If your footage is still bumpy with DIS, please check that your mount is undamaged and firmly fastened to the seat post of your bike.</p>
