Garmin VIRB XE Built-in GPS Waterproof Action HD Camera
Re: Garmin VIRB XE Built-in GPS Waterproof Action HD Camera
No idea about the company.
I've got the 1st generation Virb & have been pleased with it. The XE should give at least as good results & has more features (& will link to external sensors). There's a good in-depth review at DC Rainmaker. The free Virb edit software is very good for tidying up your video afterwards & lets you overlay data embedded in the video (I have to import it with my original Virb). Having a camera that is waterproof without extra casing is useful on the bike & the X/XE charging cable should let you power/charge without opening anything up. I've used mine plugged into a battery pack on a wet day without problem but that involves leaving a rubber flap open which isn't ideal.
This is a short sample of footage, with just a couple of data overlays, from my Virb when we took the tandem to the Peak district for the weekend. The camera was mounted on the handlebars & I used the in camera stabilisation.
