According to our action camera expert
With the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 action camera, a voice command is sufficient to start or stop recording, thanks to the integrated microphone. The image stabilization ensures that you record video without shocks or vibrations, so that you can view the images comfortably. With the Virb app, you can use your smartphone as a remote control to start recording your adventures wirelessly. You capture recordings at a resolution of up to 4K at 30fps. The sensors in the camera provide your videos with measurements ¿¿such as altitude, location, and ambient temperature. This is useful for when you want to keep track of your windsurfing, cycling, or skiing performances.

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.

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.

Beautiful and more convenient to use than the GoPro Hero
