After a close shave with an irate motorist, I decided to get a safety camera. I put a Fly6 rear camera on the seat tube, but now there's no room for the seat bag. Any suggestions for mounting both the camera and a seat bag, or for a seat bag that would fit above/behind the camera? Thanks!

I utilize Fly6 on my bikes. Transfer from bike to bike. Two have saddle bags that make me use the seat tube under the seat stays for location. Uses the area just above the caliper. Records fine, just a little hard to turn on.

Look for a hard shell seat bag (like the Lezyne Pod or Aeroclam). Those should leave enough seat post to mount the Fly.

Or use a second or third bottle cage to hold a container with a minimal road repair kit -- the Lezyne Flow or similar caddy. Keep the seat post clear for the camera and light.

In ye olden dayes of Nineteen-aught-seventywhatever, I used a little Eclipse roll up pouch for my minimal tire kit: patches, levers, multi-tool. It fit between the bottom of the saddle and saddle rails. I could strap a spare tube and even a folding tire under there and still have room on the seat post (although we had no LED lights or cameras back then). But the tricky bit is the tube and folding tire were exposed -- without the bag it takes up less room, even if it looks like heck.

Or a nylon bag that holds its shape fairly well.

For example, I like the Serfas Speed Bag and Jandd mountain wedge about equally. But the Serfas holds its shape better even empty, while the Jandd is squishy and conforms to whatever's in it. So the Jannd wouldn't be ideal for hanging a camera/light.

Add a stiff card inside the Serfas Speed Bag lid to stiffen it even more. There's a mesh pouch and key holder -- I usually keep my Lezyne glueless patch kit envelope in the pouch. That'll stiffen the lid a bit more. Then modify the accessory loop slightly to keep the camera/light from wiggling around too much. It won't be ideal but might do in a pinch. At 60 fps or better in daylight with faster shutter speeds the camera might snag enough detail on some still frames, although most will be blurred. And in dimmer light the slower shutter speed will be the main limitation.

If you have a rack, I designed a 3D printable mount to put the Fly6 down low on the rack.

This one fits the Topeak Explorer rack:

If they'll work for you, I can print them for you if you DM me. If you have a different kind of rack I can take a swing at modifying the design. I should probably shoot for a triangle mount too.

Can you mount the Fly6 on your left seat stay?

+1 on [MENTION=40124]ItsJustMe[/MENTION]'s design.

Cycliq's "One mount to rule them all" (which they then redesign) philosophy is a real hindrance. I have the Fly6 without the velcro, and use a 3D printed mount to adapt it to a GoPro style mount. A saddle rail GoPro mount and extension get my Fly6 is position on the road bike, and a 3D rack mount takes care of business on the commuter. Hopefully somebody will figure out a Fly6 V to GoPro adapter before I need it.

If I had access to a FLY6[v] I could design a GoPro mount for it. It's too bad that Cycliq decided to use such an odd mount that basically only allows one mounting option.

I mounted the Fly6 under the seat clamp with the help of some polymorph plastic. The plastic works as a spacer adapter in conjunction with the VeIlcro strap.
