Alternatively, you can press record using the button on the companion app for the phone. The other side of the unit is the recording button slider, as soon as you slide it forward the camera will begin recording. As an example, we shot a 5-minute test video with auto stitching at 4K which recorded at 3.15GB before editing. Suffice it to say you’ll need a Micro SD card with high-speed write capabilities. We recommend this card mainly as haven’t had a single recording issue yet. Garmin has also included a micro HDMI port which can be used to output live video from the camera to an external device. This area holds the micro SD card and is also where you can plug the micro USB charging cable. The side of the unit has a clip open panel. The camera is waterproof and rated for 10m. The dimensions of the unit are H39.0 x 59.3W x 69.8D (mm) and weigh 160g. Now to the reason you clicked this post, the VIRB 360 is a surprisingly compact unit given its capabilities. Speaking of charging, from the factory settings, the unit takes 2 hours to 80% and 3 hours to full 100%. Personally, I’ve been using an extension USB cable as I need the distance to get to the USB ports on my computer. The cord is quite short, so depending on your setup at home this might require a different longer cord or an extension. Having a Micro-USB is useful as most consumers have access to this cables for phones or other Garmin devices. The charging cable for the unit is a micro-USB. It’s great as a little stand for shooting time-lapse or a handle if you’re like me and wanting to walk looking like some crazed scientist testing the video. The included Tripod I think, is a very handy little addition to the package. We haven't used the 5.7K shooting mode yet, we're waiting for Garmin to add the stitching capability to their VIRB edit software. Cootha using the VIRB 360 below We shot at the auto-stitched 4K resolution, this was our first major test with the VIRB 360 so plenty refinements that could be made to neaten it up. We've included some footage we shot at Mt. The sensors built into the camera that you'll be able to overlay with the G-Metrix overlays via the App or software are Barometric Altimeter (Elevation), Accelerometer (Force and Motion, Gyroscope (Rotation), Compass Bearing and GPS (GLONASS 10HZ Data Capture). This should give you quick idea of the memory consumption this unit will compute so make sure you're equipped for a day of full shooting with large MicroSD cards or a couple of spares. At 4K the camera records about 9.3MB a second or 560MB a minute. The camera also has multiple photo modes including single, burst (20 frames in one second) and time-lapse. It can also shoot video only via the front and rear lenses. The VIRB 360 can shoot 5.7K Raw, 360 Auto Stitched 4K and 360 1080p. Best Bitsĭon’t have time for the whole article, just read this for a quick summary. I’ll go into detail on the camera’s specification later but with 5.7K capable RAW shooting and 4K shooting with auto stitching it establishes itself as a leader in the premium consumer product range of 360 cameras. The price point for the VIRB places it between the area of professional and consumer grade 360 cameras. Moving into the professional range is a significant investment and not an option for the average consumer. On the other end of the spectrum, professional 360 cameras can cost from $2000 up to $60,000 (360Precision I’m looking at you). The VIRB 360 at this point retails for $1099. Garmin has arguably taken the middle road in the 360 market, entry level 360 cameras can range from $360 (Samsung Gear360) – to the Nikon KeyMission 360 Action Camera ($699). Garmin has now entered the 360 market with their latest addition to the VIRB action camera series the VIRB 360. They offer audiences a unique scene in which they can take full viewing control and watch the video the way they want. 360 Spherical cameras have come onto the camera market in a big way.
