marca Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 Garmin has announced a new action video camera to compete with GoPro and similar products called the "VIRB". Their top of the line model has a GPS receiver plus Wi-Fi. It will be interesting to see how the video quality compares.

flounder Posted August 20, 2013 Report Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) A few things where I see them having a bit of an edge if they can pull it off. Being able to tie into ANT+ devices such as heart rate, alt, and speed will be a big hit for the adrenaline junkies. Imaging being able to see your speeds around a track, speed and heart rate while skydiving, etc. That is pretty cool. where I think they will struggle a bit is its size. It looks 2X-3X bigger than the new go pro. That means more weight and space which will deter some. It will also be interesting to see the mounting options for it.

Jester_ Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Looks like its $300. Seems like it would be worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
