This is a must have if you own a compatible device. Totally accurate and can save your life. Best cycling related purchase I've ever made. Price is lower than I've seen ever too. There is another without the light, which does work, but would advise to get this one with it.
Newest one with camera that's gonna get the plate number of the car that hits you is 400$. But then again, half the time driver isn't faulted for hitting cyclist.
Probably because a new one with camera has just been announced.
As mentioned by @UltraLazer, the new one with camera is going to be $399. I also read it's battery life is only going to be approximately 6 hours which is less than half of the RTL515.

Yep it's $399, shorter battery life (if using the camera, which is the whole point of that model), more bulky, different/unique mount (if that matters to you), and the camera functionality leaves a LOT to be desired it sounds like...check out DC Rainmaker's thorough and thoughtful review that just came out for more info: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2022/...eview.html
As for the Varia 515 from this deal (radar + light), I've had it for a little over a year and absolutely love it. Got mine on a sale for $160 in March 2021, and would happily pay that even today; at $150 for the current deal, it's a must-buy if you're even remotely interested in a cycling radar.
The Varia is on sale in a lot of places not just Buydig. Check REI, Garmin, Best Buy, Amazon.
Last time the non-light version of this was on sale Crutchfield was the best deal thanks to a sweet little extension that has an option where you buy a gift card and pay with that at a discount. I checked just now and saw an option with an effective $14 discount

I picked it up from them last time they had a coupon.
