Garmin VIRB Elite 16MP Action Camera with Wi-Fi and GPS

High Definition Recording
VIRB records true HD 1080p video that lets you relive every minute of your adventure in full, high-contrast, undistorted detail. Adjust resolution and filming speed for crisp, dramatic slow motion up to 120fps. And it's all seen through the WideVu lens and processed through 16 megapixel CMOS sensor for the highest quality video, even before you start editing it. Set multiple HD video modes: 1080p at 30fps, 960p at 48fps, 720p at 30/60fps, 848x480 at 120fps.

Resolution, frame rate
We love action cameras. The very idea of a POV camera that shoots high-resolution footage in whatever rugged conditions they encounter is great. But in practice, it wasn't enough. That's why they set out to build a better action camera. they built a sleek, aerodynamic frame with an easy switch to start and stop recording. And a 1.4" display, so they could preview their shot and make adjustments on the fly.

But they are not just engineers, they are Garmin engineers - whatever Garmin built couldn't just work, it had to multitask. It had to both specialize - with features a snowboarder or cyclist, pilot or boat captain needed - and generalize with features multisport families could appreciate.

Add Meaningful Data
Use VIRB's built-in sensors or wirelessly access data from an entire family of compatible Garmin devices to add new depth and perspective to your action camera footage. Then use your free VIRB Edit desktop software to overlay the data onto your video.

Speed
VIRB's internal sensors calculate speed through accelerometer and GPS data. You can also use data from compatible Garmin cycling and fitness devices as digital overlays.

Altitude
VIRB's built-in barometric altimeter and GPS calculate elevation and supports related metrics like descent speed on the ski slope.

Gps Position
VIRB uses built-in Garmin high-sensitivity GPS to track you so you can overlay a route on your video. You can even navigate through clips on VIRB Edit by moving a curser through your route diagram.

Heart Rate
VIRB wirelessly syncs to Garmin heart rate monitors like the HRM-Run so you can include heart rate in your sports and outdoor videos.

Lock it in and Take it Anywhere
VIRB has mounts galore: curved and flat mounts for deck and dash, multi-use strap and mounts for wrist, helmet, handlebars, surfboard, boat or the wing of your plane. You can even mount VIRB on your dog to get his or her point-of-view. There's also an adaptor to fit industry standard mounts.

High Definition Video
Capture the moment at full speed HD or in ultra-slow-motion video modes depending on how you want to play it back: 1080p@30fps, 960p@48fps, 720p@30/60fps

Quality Images
Shoot still images with 16 MP with a 1/2.3-inch CMOS image sensor for full-frame, full-color processing, even while you are recording video.

Photo Burst
• 3/second @16MP
• 6/second @16MP
• 5/second @12MP
• 10/second @8MP
• Time Lapse
• Choose your interval: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds

Thoughtfully Designed
• 1.4-inch Chroma display shows video preview and playback and lets you easily change menu settings.
• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery records up to 3 hours at 1080p.
• Rugged, durable and water-rated to IPX7.
• Includes smart recording profiles such as Ski Mode, which automatically records your downhills and stops when you're in the lift line.

Why mash a button and hope you got the shot when you can set-up, preview and playback video on a built-in, full-color Chroma display? The 1.4"" display on VIRB Elite 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).

Long-life Battery
VIRB Elite features a class-leading 2000 mAh lithium-ion battery that tested up to 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.

GPS and Wi-Fi
VIRB Elite has high-sensitivity GPS for data stamping and GPS-based "smart" recording profiles such as Skiing Mode, which automatically records your downhill runs and stops recording while you're getting hot cocoa or waiting in the lift line.

It's also equipped with Wi-Fi for wireless communication to your smartphone or computer. So you can see the image preview, adjust camera settings and record and stop the camera or remotely snap still photos, even while the camera is filming.

ANT+ and External Sensors
VIRB uses ANT+ wireless connectivity so you can use a compatible Garmin device, such as fenix, Oregon and Edge, as remote controls. And because it has Wi-Fi, you can stop and start recording or take still images wirelessly with your smart phone or compatible Garmin device so you don't have to take your hands off the handlebars or remove the camera from the mount for that perfect shot.

ANT+ also works with their external sensors. Pair VIRB Elite with their tempe (wireless temperature sensor), speed/cadence bike sensor or premium heart rate monitor to include revealing information in your videos. Show how fast your heart was racing on your last bike race or while peering over the edge of the Grand Canyon. VIRB Elite also has a built-in accelerometer and altimeter for data stamping and custom filming profiles.

Sleek and Easy-to-use
VIRB Elite was engineered for easy operation 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 Elite into your activity without having to work around a bulky camera body. So go ahead and ski, zip-line or bobsled, knowing you got the shot.

Digital Stabilization
With the Digital 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.

High Definition Photography
VIRB Elite 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 or Time Lapse at various intervals. And it's all processed through a 16 megapixel CMOS processor for high quality images. Turn on VIRB's built-in digital stabilization and take the edge off the road chatter and other vibration.

Video and Photographs at the Same Time
Don't lose a moment of video just to capture a photograph. VIRB Elite lets you take still photos at the same time you are recording video with just a touch of the button on either your remote Garmin device or on the camera itself.

Editing Made Easy
VIRB Edit is free desktop editing software that you can download to your computer for intuitive, robust video editing that takes advantage of VIRB Elite's compatibility with external and built-in sensors and other Garmin devices. Include your speed and heart rate on your motorcycle video or accelerometer and altitude on your sky dive video. Once you have the video you want to share, upload it for all your friends to see.

Mounts
A variety of mounts let you firmly lock the camera in position, virtually anywhere. From curved, flat deck and dash mounts to handlebar, helmet, shoulder and multi-use strap mounts, their mounts have you covered. Mounts have interlocking joints that grip in place instead of relying solely on tension for a more durable, anti-vibration locking performance. They even have an adapter to use VIRB Elite with other industry mounts.

Optional Dive Case
VIRB Elite is rugged and water resistant to IPX7 right out of the box, meaning the device will withstand incidental exposure to water of up to 1 meter in depth for up to 30 minutes. For all activities that involve water immersion, the optional Dive Case is required. The Dive Case increases the water resistance rating to 50 meters and features a flat front lens for clear underwater imaging.
