Garmin is the world's leading GPS navigation manufacturer, committed to the development of GPS and outdoor sports products. In the eyes of many outdoor extreme sports enthusiasts and adventure enthusiasts, Garmin's status is not inferior to GoPro.
 
The biggest feature of Garmin action cameras is that they have a variety of built-in sensors, which can record speed, altitude, acceleration, direction, GPS and other data during shooting. Among them, the GPS recording function is fundamentally different from the GPS function of GoPro. The former is to record the complete movement trajectory during the shooting process and generate a trajectory map, while the latter is only to record the GPS positioning point at the beginning of the shooting. In contrast, Garmin's recorded trajectory is more helpful for professionals to conduct post-workout analysis, and is more functional, suitable for paragliding, skiing, and cycling enthusiasts.
 
Garmin currently sells three action cameras: the VIRB 360 for 360-degree panoramic shooting, the VIRB Ultra30 for 4K UHD shooting, and the VIRB XE for regular HD shooting.
 
Among them, the VIRB Ultra 30 is Garmin's flagship product, with a 15-million-pixel camera to ensure excellent picture clarity, but it still lags behind mainstream flagships in terms of performance at up to 4K 30 fps. WIFI, Bluetooth, RAW format, voice control and other practical functions are relatively complete. Its price is 2908 yuan, which is not as cost-effective as Xiaoyi, but the advantage is that it uses most of GoPro's accessories, and the convenience and playability are greatly increased.
 
The VIRB 360, on the other hand, offers best-in-class image quality in a panoramic camera, with the usual hidden selfie stick function and voice control function. In the 360-degree photo, the stitching processing effect is excellent, the deformation of the stitching is not obvious, and the wide-angle distortion at the edge is corrected, the appearance is more comfortable, and the panoramic restoration degree is high. Its price is 5980 yuan, which is 800 yuan more expensive than GoPro Fusion, if you don't value its function of recording sports data, GoPro and Xiaoyi's panoramic camera is more cost-effective.
 
The VIRB XE, which is priced at 2080 yuan, does not have a framing screen, and only supports recording with a maximum of 1440P 30 frames of image quality, and the camera is only 1200W pixels, which is less cost-effective in this price range, so it is not recommended to buy.
