Garmin Varia Vue Camera Headlight: 4K Front Light and Dash Cam (£459.99)
The Garmin Varia Vue combines a front bike light with a camera that records video as you ride. We have not tested it ourselves. This page collects the listed specs, the Tredz price and where a camera light makes sense for triathlon training.
Available now: Garmin Varia Vue Camera Headlight — £459.99 at Tredz, correct at time of writing, 3 October 2026.

Where it fits a triathlete’s training
The points below are our reading of the listed specs, not test results.
- Dark-morning and winter rides. A bright light with auto-save when it detects an incident covers early sessions on open roads.
- Group and solo evidence. A forward camera records close passes and incidents for reporting.
- Race rules. Cameras can be restricted at races; see our note on IRONMAN 2026 camera rules before racing with it.
- Price. At £459.99 it costs much more than a plain light. Our guide to bike lights for early-morning training covers cheaper options.
