Garmin Virb 16MP 1080p Action Camera

The Garmin Virb is a true HD 1080p action camera that combines uncompromising durability, enhanced HD video recording and easy-to-use features. Start with the 1.4” Chroma colour display, which stays on when the camera is on, but uses minimal power.

The display lets you easily setup shots, playback video and adjust menu settings without detaching the camera from its mount. To start filming, you simply move the over-sized slider switch forward. 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 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 adjust resolution and filming speed for crisp, dramatic slow motion up to 120fps. And it’s all seen through our WideVü lens and processed through 16 megapixel CMOS sensor for the highest quality video, even before you start editing it. 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 features a class-leading 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery that has been tested at up to 3 hours recording at 1080p. Which means there’s a good chance you’ll tire out before the battery does. Recharging is as easy as connecting it to your computer or plugging it in to a wall. Extend your filming time by carrying a replacement battery (sold separately) on your all-day adventure.

Virb 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 blocky camera. So go ahead and ski or zip-line or even bobsled knowing you got the shot.

With the Digital Image Stabilization feature engaged, Virb 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 is a high-powered digital photo camera too. With 16 megapixel photo capture LDC 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.

Don’t lose a moment of video just to capture a photograph. Virb allows you to take still photos at the same time you are recording video with just a touch of the button on either your remote compatible Garmin device or on the camera itself.

Virb Edit is free desktop editing software that you can download to your computer for intuitive, robust video editing that takes advantage of Garmin inter-compatibility. For example, Virb Edit can automatically match video and your Edge bicycle computer data to add speed and cadence to your cycling video or add heart rate to your sky dive. Once you have the video you want to share, upload it to your favourite share sites for all your friends to see.
