Garmin Virb Elite Camera Action Bundle

The Garmin VIRB Elite is right up there with other top model HD video cameras and is making your choice now one harder. With nearly all the same features the GoPro the VIRB Elite is its closest contender. In comparison to it's smaller sibling there are few things different. First of all the Elite has built in Wi-Fi which allows connectivity to mobile phones, this enables you to control your VIRB without taking your hands off the handlebars whilst riding to either take a picture or stop recording. On the connectivity lines the Garmin VIRB Elite also comes equipped with high sensitivity GPS, accelerometer and altimeter. Having this on the Elite allows you to track your location, your speed, elevation, heart rate(monitor sold separately) and more whilst recording or taking a photo. Any data recorded can be viewed on the unit itself or can be embedded into the view screen when recording a video. As well as the GPS, Wi-Fi and other features it is compatible with ANT+ units, such as a heart rate monitor or cadence unit. For those of you that are worried about damaging the camera, whether its dropping it or even dropping it in the water, there is no need to worry. The Virb has a robust, durable and waterproof exterior, which allows those annoying knocks and scraps to happen with no worries about the internals.

The VIRB shooting quality is undeniably good. The Stills that the Virb can take are also really good quality, you have your choice of mega pixels; 16mp, 12mp and 8mp. these settings also apply for the time Lapse. With digital image stabilization, 16 megapixel CMOS processor and a wide angled lens, which you have the capability to make wide, mid shot and narrow shot with, makes this one of the best quality cameras on the market. You'll not be disappointed if you bought one of these as you are able to do so much with the unit itself. Finally the aesthetics of the camera itself aren't bad at all, its sleek and relatively light weight design looks cool and especially with the screen built in. Over all The VIRB is the next generation in a combination of camera and training device. GoPro maybe expanding on a few of those ideas next time round and vice versa. Over all whether its the Virb or the Virb elite, both cameras are really good quality and will definitely get you thinking twice between a few different options. Have your training and your filming all in one compact and clever package. The Virb Elite Bundle comes equipped with a handle bar mount, vented helmet strap and a 16 GB micro SD card. These three extra added items go a long way, as the VIRB elite and the normal VIRB do not come with these extras.
