Fabulous piece of support engineering for a tandem, giving the stoker a view up front.
Riding for 4000 km round France this spring on our tandem, we fitted this camera the "wrong" way round, to give my partner on the back (the "stoker" in English) a view of the road ahead that wasn't just obscured by my back as the "captain" blocking her view in the front.So, the camera on our tandem is mounted facing forward, not back, on the handlebars at the front, and the screen is on the stoker handlebars just under the front seat. See pictures.Even if there isn't all that much detail on such a small screen, and the viewer on the back has to get used to the idea that the image is mirrored, left being right, and the right side of the view ahead being on the left, it worked brilliantly. The brain, interestingly, does adjust.The battery life was good, though keeping the screen plugged into a powerbank is NOT a good idea as you're riding, since with us this ended up breaking the screen's charger port. For the back end of our six-week trip the device couldn't be used.However, the reason I'm happy to give this item a full five-star review reflects its basic design, its light weight, its long life, its simplicity of mounting, and the superb customer service of Parkvision who replaced the defective screen not just with one item but three! Meaning that if the charging port goes south again, we can have a backup.It does seem that this item can be bought a little more cheaply from other sellers in China. But if you're looking for excellent support and a team that clearly cares how customers experience them and their procucts, then it's probably worth the extra expense.

Gives a clear, real time view of the road behind.
I just bought two of these, one for each of our e-bikes. Myself and my wife are both past our prime and had low confidence in going out on the public roads on bikes. Most of that is the vehicles coming up behind and the fact that stiff shoulder and neck muscles makes turning round to check difficult. The units arrived on time well packaged and in perfect condition. They are easy to fit to the bikes, if I have a complaint it is that the bracket that carried the camera has insufficient range of size. It is clearly intended to be fitted to a seat post but both of our bikes have luggage racks and it would have been much more convenient to fit the cameras to them, however the tubing typically used on racks is smaller than can be accomodated in the camera clamp. I fixed this for my wife's bike by stealing one of the 'gaskets' from my own, and using that as a 'packer'. Reason is her bag would have obscured a camera on her seat post. Small point, but could be important for some, and could be fixed simply by supplying an additonal set of thicker gaskets to use if required. So in use they are easy to set up, the screen brightness is adjustable. I found that at the setting it comes with, bright sunshine made the image difficult to see, but raising the brightness number from 50 to 70 on the scale fixed that problem, though I imagine it may reduce battery time. This is a simple unit does what it says very well at a very reasonable price and I recomend them.

Brilliant for the dough.
Used for my motorcycle. Very easy to install, clear view of road users behind. You still need a lifesaver and not get complacent. recommended.

Superb for safety
UPDATE May 2024:In addition to the review I wrote (below) after purchasing this bike camera 8 months ago - I have to say that the customer service has been outstanding. I needed a new bracket for the camera and the Parkview team could not have been more helpful, courteous and speedy with the assistance they gave. 5 STAR customer service!!!This product is a must for safety! It gives superb vision for vehicles approaching from behind. Very sharp colour pictures and easy to install. I have already recommended it to colleagues who also cycle to work in London.The safety factor is also about seeing potential muggers approaching from behind which led me to buy this in the first place. I couple of guys wearing balaclavas came from behind on an electric bike to mug me of my Brompton. There was no way of seeing them first. This camera allows me to glance and look behind easily. FYI thanks to a brave passer by, the muggers were unsuccessful!

Quality product
Well made, monitor is a nice size with decent brackets for attaching. Adjustable for brightness and contrast, also can be switched on and off. You are able to charge it up for independent use or plug into a USB port for permanent fitting which I've done as its fitted to a motorcycle.

Doesn't fit!!!!!!.
would be great if i could fit it to my bike the rubber grommets that are supplied don't fit my bike and without any it still doesn't fit, why don't you get different sizes to fit your bike i've now got to make my own!!!!!.
