IGPSport SR Mini Radar Tail Light

[DavidG]

Anyone using this light/radar?

Considering it myself over the Varia. I like its small compact size.

I've had it for about a month now, but only ~15 hours of road riding because I've been either sick or riding gravel but I'm pretty happy with it.
No false positive yet and only 2 or 3 false negatives that were understandable because of low speed difference/sharp turn.
Setting up in the app is more finnicky than expected, it doesn't remember your last light setting when you turn it off.
It connects to my IGS800 for data fields (something the magene L508 didn't - but it connected to a magene C606) to give battery percentage. It says ~18 hours with light off which is I think a little optimistic but 15 hours is still very good.
I kept the L508 mount on my seatpost as I prefer it to the SR mini mount that uses your saddle clamps, which is not compatible with some of my bikes with saddle as forward as possible, and the angle adjustment is always too loose no matter how much I tighten it, it will often point down

Still overall a clear upgrade over the magene L508 in my opinion

did 300kms with it so far, no issue, 2-3 false negatives.
I notice something, if the car drives at the same speed as you, because they cannot over take you, the radar does not detect them anymore.
Set up on the phone was easy and i was able to pair it with my garmin 1040.
Also I noticed I was able to pair it with my wife bsc200s at the same time. So 1 radar connected to 2 gps.
overall very happy with it, it is small, charge fast.
agreeing with kbernstein, around 15h battery. You can also use it without light so it will increase thebattery a little.

Used it more or less exclusively since Juli/August on the road - maybe 500km.
Would not change my previous good review; recognition is good (just watched a new video from gplama, he explained, that all Radars have this issue of detecting cars that stroll behind you). Very few false positives (One narrow metal bridge in 1/3 times gives one a false positives). Sometimes the distance is very good, like the dot on the Wahoo is not even visible (>130m or so), sometimes the warning comes a little late (<100m). As I have no back-cam I cannot say what's the factors are, such as curves, speed differential, road furniture etc.
Very light (50g + 28g mount), didn't use their app in the last 2 months, so I have no recollection of it - but surely it's not the best part, as kbernstein mentioned.
Also the price is very good for this package I would say.

This is a problem with all the radar units. They detect the presence of an object by relative position. If an object stays the same distance from you (moving at same speed) it is essentially invisible.

Just placed an order after seeing the positive reviews. From the US I used this link https://us.igpsport.com/products/sr-mini where it's 79.99usd AND they have a 10% off sale happening with free shipping.

Compared to 140.00usd thru aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256808493548381.html

Just be patient and use coupons

 I just bought myself one today. I should be getting it early next week. Bought from Bikeinn instead of AliExpress. They have for 83eur which isn't too bad imo.

What do you guys use for seatpost amount?

[cramy]

What do you guys use for seatpost amount?

I used the saddle clamp provided with it

What do you guys use for seatpost amount?

Same here. The mount is very robust so far. On the other hand you can use any Wahoo compatible (Garmin + 90deg) one, for example the mount for Magene L508 is not perfect but workable. The mount is 28g.

I went out with the radar for the very first time today. I was out with a friend of mine and the radar seemed to be picking quite few times when he was moving a bit around behind me.....not sure if he was dropping and catching up but the radar would flag him. Is this common enogh for you guys too when you ride with more people?

[DavidG]

By the way, did you all update the firmware?

[cramy]

yes updated to latest fw

Thats the point of a radar. If an object is coming up to you at speed, the radar will pick that up. It will then level off when the object is going the same speed. This is why its always a good idea to NOT rely on the radar and still do a shoulder check when changing lanes or turning.
