Garmin VIRB Ultra 30
Garmin has launched the new VIRB Ultra
30, a US$ 500 4K action camera that competes squarely against the GoPro Hero4.
The VIRB Ultra 30 has a few interesting
features up its sleeve. It is voice controlled, so you can say "Okay
Garmin, start recording" and the camera will record without you having to
press a single button, convenient when the camera is mounted in a way that
makes it difficult to access. It also has a high sensitivity microphone that
works well through the waterproof case. The 3-axis electronic image
stabilization helps stabilize your shaky footage.
The VIRB Ultra 30 also includes GPS,
which with the G-Metrix feature calculates your elevation and speed and
overlays that on your videos. The display on the back is a touchscreen that
also works through the case. Lastly, along with the mobile app, you can also
live stream directly to YouTube. The Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 is priced at US$ 499.99 and available on Amazon.
