The VIRB is also built to be rugged and waterproof to IPX7 standards so you can use it in up to 1 metre depth of water for up to 30 minutes.

If you intend to use the Garmin virb for activities that involve water immersion then it is advised that you buy the Dive case which allows you to use in water up to 50 meters in depth.

As a guide, you can record up to 3 hours at 1080pixels. Extend the time you can use/record with the VIRB by buying an extra battery.

You can also take photos with the Garmin VIRB at either 16 megapixels, 12 megapixels or 8 megapixels. You can take photos one at a time, using Photo Burst (6/s) or Time lapse (various intervals). Also photos are taken with a 16 megapixel CMOS processor, providing manageable file sizes.

It is easy to know you are recording even if wearing gloves because there is a slide switch. Whats more there are preset recording profiles available. For example, in ski mode, the device will record during the run and then pause when you reach the bottom of the slope.

You can adjust the settings on the device using on-screen menu settings. There is a Digital image stabilisation mode which ensures you record a smoother video adjusting for bumpy conditions, for example. Lens distortion correction further helps to enhance the quality of videos.
