The VIRB Ultra 30 is Garmin's best action camera to date-no doubt about that. We'd even go as far as saying it's a serious competitor with GoPro. It's a workhorse of a camera, but in all honesty, battery life drags it down. You're lucky if you get 45 minutes of video time with this guy.

Great media quality up to 4K at 30fps; Image stabilization; Built-in GPS; Voice commands; Mounting system compatible with GoPro

Not waterproof (need housing unit; Poor battery life when all sensors are running

We think the Virb Ultra 30 is a decent little action camera. It's incredibly easy to use, with a simple and intuitive touchscreen interface, plus it delivers excellent video and photo quality up to 4K resolution.

4K video; Shoot stills during video capture; Easy to use interface; Voice control; Range of mounts and waterproof case included

Expensive compared to closest rival without adding a true USP or undercutting on price point; No wind noise blocker; Waterproof case design not perfect

Very promising product with a lot of features, G-Metrix, image stabilization at high resolutions, advanced settings. Unfortunately it doesn't live up to the hype. *Videos recorded at 2.7K are unplayable with third party programs and cannot be played or edited in Virb Edit *Image stabilization is...

The VIRB Ultra 30 is the new flagship action camera from Garmin. Like the VIRB XE , it uses a GoPro-like form factor. But where the XE maxed out at 1,440p resolution, the Ultra 30 finally reaches 4K.
