TBH, the RCT715 video quality is very ordinary. not the same level as Fly6CE.

run time is pretty good. I do not have camera recording in a loop.

radar + camera recording (only when triggered by radar) + flashing lights, I can get 5-6 hours.

Radar + camera only - I can get up to 7 hours.

On long audax rides (radar + camera) I will top up the RCT715 from a powerbank, during lunch stops, and will just about make it to 10 hours. I usually use an external flashing rear light instead of draining the RCT715.
