This video is the result of many weeks of in-depth testing of three cycling rear radars - The Magicshine Seeme R300, Giant Recon Plus TL300R, and iGPSport SR30. All have been tested individually and head-to-head against the trusted Garmin Varia RTL515. Despite being marketed as safety devices, these radars frequently produced false positives or failed to detect vehicles, undermining their core function. My position at this point in time is for a product recall on all of these devices until the companies can reduce (or ideally RESOLVE) all the false positives (and the two false negatives) encountered. While the RTL515 isn't perfect, the three radars in focus here are well below acceptable in their operation.
