1080p HD video recording with 16 megapixel CMOS image processor. Chroma display: colour, high-resolution; easier control of setup, playback and adjustments. High-sensitivity GPS, accelerometer and barometric altimeter. Wi-Fi connectivity; use with free mobile applications for iPhone® and Android™. Rechargeable, 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery, record up to 3 hours at 1080p.
The Virb Elite is a true HD 1080p action camera that combines enhanced HD video recording with Wi-Fi capability and advanced GPS functions like preset recording profiles. For example, the Ski profile automatically records during the run but pauses when you get to the bottom. Virb Elite features a built-in 1.4” Chroma colour display that stays on when the camera is on, but uses minimal power.
The display lets you easily setup/preview/playback video and adjust menu settings without detaching it from its mount. Record at 1080p for up to 3 hours with the rechargeable lithium-ion battery. And video enhancement features like Digital Image Stabilization and Lens Distortion Correction ensure footage looks great, even before you start editing.
Virb Elite records true HD 1080p video that lets you relive every minute of your adventure in full, high-contrast, undistorted detail. In addition to 1080p@30fps, you can adjust resolution and filming speed for crisp, dramatic slow motion up to 120fps. And it’s all processed through a 16 megapixel CMOS sensor so you get the highest quality video and a more manageable file size for editing and sharing. Multiple HD video modes: 1080p@30fps, 960p@48fps, 720p@30/60fps, 848x480@120fps.
Why mash a button and hope you got the shot when you can set-up, preview and playback video on a built-in, full-colour Chroma display? The 1.4" display on the Virb is also your window into the menu settings. Check your shot before you leap, choose slow motion, or even switch between video and still photography. It’s always on the screen and the screen is always on (but uses minimal power).
Virb Elite features a class-leading 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery that has been tested at nearly 3 hours recording at 1080p. Which means there’s a good chance you’ll tire out before the battery does. And with multiple charging options (sold separately) you’ll have plenty of juice. Extend your filming time by carrying a replacement battery (sold separately) on your all-day adventure.
Virb Elite is equipped with Wi-Fi for wireless communication to your smartphone or computer. Wi-Fi enables you to see the image preview and adjust camera settings.
Virb Elite features high-sensitivity GPS for data stamping and GPS-based “smart” recording profiles like Skiing Mode, which automatically records your downhill runs and stops recording while you’re getting hot cocoa or waiting in the lift line.
Virb Elite was engineered for ease-of-use with a large, instant record slider switch on the side of the camera. The slide and click of the switch makes it easy to know that you are recording, even if you’re wearing gloves. The overall design of the camera is both sleek and rugged which helps you integrate Virb into your activity without having to work around a bulky camera body. So go ahead and ski or zip-line or even bobsled knowing you got the shot (and maybe the best time).
Virb Elite uses ANT+™ wireless connectivity to enable you to use your compatible Garmin product like fenix™, Oregon® and Edge® as remote controls. With Virb Elite, you also gain the advantage of Wi-Fi so you can stop and start recording or take still images wirelessly with your smart phone or compatible Garmin device. Now, you don’t have to take your hands off the handlebars or remove the camera from the mount for that perfect shot.
With the Digital Image Stabilization feature engaged, Virb Elite adds a little stability to bumpy rides and adventures so you can share a smoother video with your friends. Plus Lens Distortion Correction (LDC) works to enhance the quality of your video, even before you start editing.
Virb Elite is a high-powered digital photo camera too. With 16 megapixel photo capture LDC plus a WideVü lens (Wide/Medium/Narrow) to make your photos sharper, clearer and less distorted. Shoot 16 megapixel, 12 megapixel, or 8 megapixel as a single shot (on-camera button or controlled remotely) or choose Photo Burst (6/s)or Time Lapse at various intervals. And it’s all processed through a 16 megapixel CMOS processor for high quality images and more manageable file sizes.
Don’t lose a moment of video just to capture a photograph. Virb Elite allows you to take still photos at the same time you are recording video with just a touch of the button on either your compatible Garmin device or on the camera itself.

Garmin VIRB.
This was ordered at 6 PM, or thereabouts, it was promptly delivered within three minutes of the predicted time the very next day. This was excellent service from a company that I never used before. I was initially attracted by the price of the camera but was also reassured by the quality and culture of the company as it appeared online. The camera is excellent and works very well. The initial issue with the battery not appearing to hold its charge was solved when a forum discussion suggested running the camera absolutely flat and then charging the battery up overnight from a mains USB charger. This would appear to have done the trick and the battery now lasts over 2 1/2 hours. I use it on the side of my motorcycle helmet, you do notice the weight initially but after a couple of minutes it becomes unnoticeable. The quality of images outstanding, stability is also excellent the only downside, which is obvious on a motorcycle, is with noise from the wind. I am considering buying a waterproof case and mounting the camera actually on the bike to use as a safety camera. This will then get rid of the wind noise and also allow me to use a USB cable and not have to worry about battery length. A really good piece of kit, very easy to use. If there is one drawback, with my eyesight I find screen quite hard to read unless I get it in good ambient light as there is no backlight facility. Very pleased with it and the service from the company.

After initial glitches, a GoPro challenger
6 months after buying a VIRB Elite, my opinion on the camera has only improved. Pros include: A high quality image with plenty of recording options. An on-screen "spirit level" to assist lining up the camera. Screen display options, including the live image or a dashboard to show ride data. ANT+ compatibility to record heart rate, cadence etc. GPS to enable recording of ride details for combining with the video later. Cons: It was quite common for the camera to freeze in the early days, but subsequent firmware updates seem to have all but eliminated that. The otherwise excellent VIRB Edit software, which can overlay your ride data from the camera or from another GPS device such as a Garmin EDGE GPS, can't save the detailed map shown in the software onto the resulting video, due to Garmin not paying for the rights to the map data. All you can have is an overlaid line depicting your route, with no map to put it into context. VIRB Edit can lock up, forcing you to exit and restart, although you won't lose your progress in the current edit. It's more of a time-waster than anything. I find I have to tell the VIRB to search for a new Heart Rate Monitor before each use as it doesn't pair automatically. It pairs fine with the cadence sensor without being told. Although compact, it's still a reasonably large device, but more streamlined than a GoPro, and wouldn't look so dorky on top of a helmet if I actually used it there. It's a pity that the camera image can only be flipped 180 degrees (for mounting upside down) and not at least by 90 degrees - and preferably other angles - as well (for fitting more flush against the side of a helmet. All in all though, an excellent camera, and good enough that I'm considering a standard VIRB as a rear-facing camera, as they can both be triggered to start and stop together via my EDGE 800.
