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.
