In the case of Garmin, you see that with features like the ability to save and share settings across cameras. That’s in part because GoPro has added features that these companies need to work with large numbers of cameras and integrate that footage into their workflow. You’ve of course seen that GoPro’s are ubiquitous in TV productions these days, such as MythBusters. but there’s also a number of little features that have been added that will make it more appealing to production companies. Of course, it’ll be great for the average consumer – just like a GoPro is. In using the cameras, it becomes clear that Garmin is aiming for more than just the ‘average consumer’ crowd with this unit. Ability to save/export settings to share with multiple camerasĪs you can see, that’s quite the list.Samples and records internal sensor data at up to 100 times a second (100 Hz) for overlay later, and GPS data at 10 Hz.Actually works with some 3rd party gimbals now.Added image stabilization in-camera up to 1440p (reduces shake).Voice controls for photo, video, highlights (‘OK Garmin, take a picture’).New Travelapse mode: Like a timelapse mode, but distance triggered vs time-triggered.New VIRB Edit apps support higher resolution footage now (i.e.Added ability to playback via Miracast to TV’s in your house wirelessly.Added Ability to connect to dedicated WiFi networks (MiFi access points, home networks, etc…), plus phones of course.Added YouTube Live Streaming (iOS only).Added a new ‘frame/skeleton’ style case as an option.New hardshell case also allows wind-reduction and sound underwater.New hardshell case still allows clear audio and touchscreen to work when camera is in it.Separate waterproof case from camera, leaving naked camera virtually identical to GoPro Hero4 Black/Silver size.Added overexposure displays onto touch screen live view (to see if exposure is washed out).Added framing overlays onto touch screen live view (i.e.

Slow-mo modes up to 240fps at 720p, and 120fps at 1080p.

Essentially, there’s almost nothing that GoPro has in the Hero4 lineup that this doesn’t.īut before we dive too deeply, let’s just go with a bulleted list of what’s new and unique/different compared to the past VIRB series cameras.

So it’s got all the 4K/30fps capabilities, as well as the 240fps 720p slow-mo options. The easiest way to think of the photo/video specs (resolutions) of this unit, is that it’s basically a GoPro Hero4 Black. Whereas this unit is extremely competitive to GoPro units, especially in light of last week’s leaks about the upcoming GoPro Hero5. I felt like it just missed the mark in so many ways in terms of being competitive to GoPro units. Regular readers will remember I was ‘not impressed’ with the previous VIRB X/XE offering. I’ve been using various iterations of the camera for quite a while now – and I’ve gotta say this is the most impressed I’ve been with a Garmin product in some time. If you found this review useful, you can hit up the links at the bottom of the post to support the site. Garmin sent out both that and pre-prod units for evaluation, and like usual, they’ll go back to Garmin shortly. The more you dig into the camera, the more new features you discover.Īs noted above, I’ve been on a few versions of this camera, but this review is written based on a final production unit.

Plus of course all the usual stuff from the past like GPS, ANT+ and Bluetooth sensor support, and much more. Not to mention higher end manual photo/video controls, a color touchscreen display that even works in the hard-shell waterproof case, and new travelling time-lapse options.

This new VIRB includes everything from voice control (‘Ok Garmin, take a picture.’) to 4K video recording, to YouTube live streaming. They created what might possibly best both GoPro’s current and even upcoming offerings. To summarize this 50-million word in-depth review in the most succinct manner possible: Someone at Garmin finally got it. Last week, Garmin announced and released their newest action cam – the VIRB Ultra 30.
