While a photo may be worth a thousand words, having video footage of a crash or near hit can be priceless. Magicshine’s new Seemee DV is their first combination taillight and camera which acts like a rear dashcam for your bicycle. As with other Magicshine products, the Seemee DV undercuts the pricing of popular Garmin and Cycliq camera taillight while adding features. The Seemee DV retails for only $ and combines a 1080P HD camera with a 30 lumen COB LED taillight. Video footage is saved onto a removable MicroSD card, an 8gb card included but the Seemee DV supports up to 128gb cards, with smart video looping. A built-in accelerometer detects any potential accidents and saves 60 seconds of footage to a non-overridable location for reviewing. Magicshine utilizes a miniaturized Garmin style quarter turn mount that is molded into the rear of the Seemee DV. This uses the familiar two-tab design and quarter turn rotation to lock onto the included seat post mount. It’s a simple plastic and rubber strap mount design that feels durable and secure on the bike. There is a large angled rubber pad to prevent it from scratching the seatpost as well as multiple cutouts in the rubber to accommodate D-shaped, rounded and even aero seatposts. With the Seemee DV being dimensionally close to the Magicshine Seemee 508 radar, you’ll want to make sure to place it further up on the seatpost for an optimal field of view. Those with short seatposts and large saddlebags may have issues positioning the taillight and camera combination as there is no saddlebag clip included. Despite being part of Magicshine’s Seemee taillight product line, the Seemee DV has an all new design that visually looks quite different from the existing models. The Seemee DV has a large triangular design that conceals a high-capacity 3400mAh battery inside it with the camera prominently placed on top and lighting elements below it. Although it’s fairly bulky, the streamlined design looks unique and has an aluminum upper housing with what feels like plastic on the bottom half. The camera is prominently positioned at the top of the housing with the lens sticking out slightly for optimal visibility. Below that there are three LED strips for the taillight illumination position on the center and each side. ...
