Note that the entire thing detaches just above where it says ‘Garmin’. This allows you to import in your files afterwards, as well as charge the unit. Next, we’ve got the ever exciting USB cable. On the right, we have a mount that changes the orientation of the camera 90* (different than the mount seen attached to the camera above). In addition, to the left we have a GoPro compatible mount, so you can snap it into any GoPro accessory out there. Looking at the mounts, you can see how you’ll twist lock it down first into the base, and then the little ridges (teeth) will lock it in place. The VIRB’s major claim to fame is it’s longer life battery than the GoPro, largely achieved through simply a longer battery.

And then the manuals to the right of that.įirst up, the battery. On the left you see the battery, then the USB charging cable (standard mini-USB), then two adhesive mounts (one flat, one curved), followed to the right by a GoPro compatible adapter, and then a second mounting piece for orientation changes. Inside the box, you’ll have an assortment of parts. This gives you a bit of practice in how the mounts work. You’ll detach it by simply rotating the top portion of the mount away. This is a not so subtle hint to not throw away said mount. The VIRB will actually be attached to the box, using one of its own mounts. Once you remove the inner shell from the outer shell, you’ll find the unit hanging out inside: Perhaps with enough illegal drugs it might, but not by itself. See that glorious looking color screen below on the box shot? I promise you, it never looks like that.

In fact, externally the only visible difference is the color. When push comes to shove, the VIRB Elite and VIRB regular contain the exact same components within the box. So – with that intro, let’s get into things.

Also, because the technology world constantly changes, I try and go back and update these reviews as new features and functionality are added – or if bugs are fixed. But, if I’ve missed something or if you spot something that doesn’t quite jive – just let me know and I’ll be happy to get it all sorted out. I write these reviews because I’m inherently a curious person with a technology background, and thus I try and be as complete as I can. Lastly, at the end of the day keep in mind I’m just like any other regular athlete out there. Most of my ordered ones have since come in, and their box of mounts will head back shortly – just like always. They also sent over a box of mounts to start with until my retail mounts came in. That VIRB has already gone back to Garmin. Garmin had sent me over a VIRB Elite to start testing with until retail availability. In the case of this review, I own all the VIRB’s seen here (bought myself). Thus, much of this review will be focused on whether or not Garmin has been able to execute on that vision – and thus by extension whether or not they can realistically take any of GoPro’s pie. Where Garmin has the potential though to differentiate is the inroads in sports and fitness that primarily audio/video companies lack. There’s plenty of others much larger than Garmin, take Sony and JVC for example. Of course, large companies focusing their attention on the now billion-dollar business of GoPro is nothing new. Most notable however, is that they’re squaring off directly against the biggest player in the industry: GoPro.

Did you have any idea if it's possible to convert a GPX file which has the speed tag to a fit file? I tried this website but it doesn't convert the speed, only route.Īlso, if you know a GPS Video Overlay software which can take advantage of the speed tag of a GPX file, let me know.When Garmin announced the VIRB action camera late this past summer, it represented further expansion into the outdoor market, due to it’s significant product tie-ins with other Garmin products. From that file Virb Edit can take advantage of the recorded speed within the file. Well, at least I heard of this tool, which is amazing, I can't believe how much work was put into it and how smart are the people working on it.Ī second option would be to use a. The big problem is that, Virb Edit, the software I tried to use to add the Speed overlay, is not supporting the speed tag from GPX at all, so all this research was for nothing. Using the commands from above, I managed to export a GPX file which includes the speed tag. I don't think would be a problem to convert miles per hour to meters per second.

As you can see in my attached file (out), the file also contain the speed in mph.Īs you can see here, GPX supports a tag called speed, which must be in meters per second.

The problem is that is exporting only lat, long and time.

There is already a piece of software made by Garmin called Garmin Dash Cam Player which allows you to export GPX from the MP4 file. The speed calculated by time and distance is not correct. I'm looking for reported speed by the camera which is the correct one.
