A TRUE GoPro Challenger? Garmin Virb Review

2016-10-06
you ready to shoot this action camera review with me cool ok Garmin start recording that's pretty cool cooler masters master case maker five features they're freeform modular system allowing you to customize adjust and upgrade make it yours at the link below one of my biggest problems with the GoPro Hero 4 line and below in the ocean of GoPro knockoffs has always been the usability often their best mounting places are unconvenient to get to or in a place where you can't monitor them easily like the top of your helmet making it so that you can't really tell if the thing is actually recording or not without firing up the app on your phone which is inconvenient for its own reasons and your only real option in many cases is to have it record the entire event where you risk your battery dying and your SD card filling up huh now in filmmaking or video creation in general arguably the most important thing is getting the shot a big proponent of this over the last few years has been the venerable casey neistat he has said many times that gear doesn't matter story matters and to get the story you need to get the shot so with that in mind let's start with the verbs new accessibility features they are in no particular order ok Garmin start recording ok Garmin remember that ok Garmin stop recording ok Garmin take a picture start and stop recording and take a picture all rather self-explanatory what remember that does is when you go to edit your video there will be tags throughout your footage of where you told it to remember something so what you could do is just wah ok Garmin remember that all you have to say is remember that and then when you finally get to edit that footage later on you don't have to scrub through everything you filmed which could be a huge benefit when you've got a lot of footage also of note is that being able to start and stop recording with just my voice ended up being a huge battery saver over time computing the theme of usability we have a legitimately astonishing touchscreen no really it works through the water-resistant case not while it's underwater mind you and the screen isn't nearly as responsive or accurate when used in this manner but despite my complaints I did end up using it even if it was often in combination with the hardware buttons it also features live streaming when paired with an iPhone automatic multi camera sync if you're doing a more complicated shoot Bluetooth audio and ANT+ in order to connect additional sensors like heart rate sensors on top of the high sensitivity GPS accelerometer gyroscope altimeter and compass suite that they're calling G metrics and that serves as proof that you went that high road that fast etc very cool which is all fine and good as long as it doesn't look or sound like but but I'm going to pass things off to our in-house camera expert brandon lee to take a look at that jumping into image quality the verb is surprisingly solid in this department the verbs image is quite comparable to the gopro hero4 black rendering similar detail in the recording the addition of the image stabilization is a nice touch and will come in handy in certain shooting situations but it is by no means a substitute for a proper stabilizer that can be used with action cameras like this like GoPro Garmin has decided to include a flat profile in the verb when you want to capture a wider dynamic range however when using the vivid profile setting on the verb Garmin has done a good job on not making an image feel over saturated or processed in camera something that I've seen action cameras do in the past overall the image in the verb stands up to the competition in this space but with the recent release of the GoPro Hero 5 that might not be the case for much longer Thank You Brandon and the accessories Department Garmin has quite a number of options for you to scoop up but if you're drowning in GoPro mounts already never fear the mounting mechanism was shamelessly ripped off of GoPro and therefore can be used interchangeably so conclusion time it's interesting but is it worth it I'm going to give the ever annoying answer of maybe calm my conclusion is the extremely recent announcement of GoPros Hero 5 lineup which features water resistance without housing and similar voice control but not the additional sensors so I have a feeling I'll need to do my review of that before I can give a more complete conclusion there even the same price now that Garmin has lowered theirs by about a hundred dollars no word yet on whether or not early buyers will be getting a refund let's hope that is a true so awesome sensor data or almost certainly better image quality of the raw capable GoPro Hero 5 that we will check out soon let me know in the comments down below which you prefer but for now ok Garmin stop recording you know what printer's specifically the pagewide pro mfp 477 DW it offers best-in-class ISO speeds it's very quick to print the first page and can print up to 70 pages per minute on the 500 series models with double-sided print speeds of 25 pages per minute it can do single pass a double-sided scanning and allows you to spend less time and budget on scheduled maintenance with their pagewide technology it's got front USB that supports multiple file formats such as Word and PowerPoint and it's intuitive touchscreen controls allow you to navigate on the 4.3 inch display you can set up pins for receiving print jobs that are confidential in the workplace and you can print from mobile devices with Wi-Fi direct and NFC touch to print technology so there's no network required to print you get four times more prints from their extra high yield cartridges and you can check it out at the link in the video description thanks for watching this video guys if it sucked you know what to do Bru but if it was awesome hit the like button get subscribed all that fun stuff I can't believe that the GoPro Hero 5s was announced literally
