Review is 10 out of 10.

Best action cam of the moment.

Good price for the ultimate action cam of the moment.
User-friendly
Extensive possibilities with G-Metrix overlays, works accurately.
Battery life is not long, logical with all sensors etc, but something to take into account. Extra battery is a must have.

Garmin has made a great action cam that surpasses the Gopro 5. Media quality of the Virb Ultra 30 is comparable to the Gopro 5, but the Virb is 100 Euros cheaper and literally has more to offer than the Gopro 5. Where the Virb has a GPS, accelerometer and a barometer, Gopro only has to use GPS do which results in a much less accurate measurement. Virb Ultra 30 is the best action cam right now, period.

Top camera for capturing your sports activities

Makes sharp and clear images
Is solidly built
Can be paired wirelessly with other Garmin devices (ANT+)
battery life

I've had this action camera for a few weeks now. It is mainly used on the bike and is attached to the same holder that my Garmin Edge 820 is attached to. I had to buy the combi bicycle mount, because the original mount for the Edge 820 does not have this option. With the supplied mounting accessories, it was not possible to properly mount the camera on a bicycle. The camera makes beautiful, sharp images that are free from vibrations, thanks to the 3-axis image stabilization. In addition, my Virb Ultra 30 is wirelessly linked via ANT+ to the Garmin Edge 820 for operation (start and stop of the recording), the associated sensors (speed and cadence), as well as to my Garmin Fenix 5 watch (heart rate monitor). Afterwards, all this data can be displayed during playback of the recordings by using the Virb Edit program. The only thing I don't like is the battery life. While Garmin claims on its website that the battery should last about 2h15 when shooting at 1080p/30fps, I notice that under these conditions the battery is empty after ± 1h40. The various ANT+ links may be the cause of this increased consumption. One or more spare batteries are recommended for longer use.
