Garmin Virb 360

£649.99, buy.garmin.com I’m guessing this is a camera?

You guess correctly – the Garmin Virb 360 is a waterproof, adventureready, 360-degree camera capable of capturing super-high-res video and 15MP stills (extracted from unstitched 5.7K-res video).

Whoa! Tell me more.

Easy there. The Virb 360 records up to 5.7K/30fps unstitched and 4K/30fps with in-camera stitching of the 360-degree footage. It has four built-in mics to capture surround audio, with three modes of 4K spherical stabilisation ensuring smooth footage no matter how much the camera moves.

So does this mean I can take it white-water rafting?

The Virb 360 is waterproof to 10 metres. That spherical stabilisation tech we mentioned will smooth quick movements and reduce vibration, with the camera seeing what you see, capturing a complete sphere (horizontally and vertically) of high-res video and audio. Try not to swear.

Can I livestream with this camera?

Aye, via the Virb mobile app you can livestream to YouTube and Facebook. You can also view your 360-degree videos in VR (you’ll need a virtual reality headset, natch), helping you to relieve those scary white-water moments.

Any data capture?

The camera has a series of sensors, including GPS and GLONASS, barometer and accelerometer, to provide customisable G-Metrix data overlay options. Select from a template of data points and overlay will be displayed in your video.
