Where the new VIRBs fall short is top-end resolution GoPro and Sony’s top models recording modes up to 4K resolution, and even at 1440p, GoPro’s Hero4 has up to a 48fps capture rate. There are also new slow-motion capture rates, with the VIRB XE offering 240fps at a resolution of 480p.Īnd of course they also shoot still photos, including a 30fps burst mode and a photo time lapse mode.

The VIRB XE boosts maximum resolution to 1440p at 30 frames per second, and a lower-res but still full HD 1080p at 60fps. Where they diverge is in features and recording resolution. To blend in all those data streams, you’ll need to use Garmin’s proprietary editing software, VIRB Edit. GPS offers data streams for location, speed, elevation and distance, among others along with ANT+ data streams from sensors like a heart rate strap, or your power meter, you get a data-rich overlay on the video footage. That’s the core feature set and the focus of Garmin’s push here. What’s more, for most uses you won’t need a case both units are rated as waterproof to 50 meters.īoth VIRBs are Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi-enabled, have GPS and accelerometer sensors and will communicate with other sensors, like Garmin’s Vector power meter pedals, via ANT+.

It also may be more stable previous VIRB mounts proved somewhat shaky. That’s a welcome change it means many more mount offerings, from Garmin, GoPro, and aftermarket makers who primarily focus on GoPro’s mount standard.
