Garmin introduces the VIRB® 360, its first 360-degree action camera with an immersive 5.7K experience

Singapore, 19 July
2017 – Garmin Singapore today
announced the versatile VIRB 360, a compact, rugged and fully spherical
360-degree camera. The waterproof1 VIRB 360 is an easy-to-use
camera that captures impressive high-quality video up to 5.7K/30fps, with four
built-in microphones to ensure everything sounds as good as it looks in any
direction. Whether users are kayaking down river rapids or mountain biking
through rough terrain, the VIRB 360’s 4K Spherical Stabilization2 makes
every video smooth and steady.

With the VIRB 360, users capture
video with automatic in-camera stitching up to 4K/30fps. Videos are easily
uploaded for editing or sharing instantaneously. Taking advantage of its
built-in GPS and numerous other sensors, the VIRB 360 provides owners with customisable
G-Metrix™ data overlays in a captivating 360-degree augmented reality3 setting.

“The VIRB 360 lets you relive
personal experiences and share them with your friends – from a different point
of view, every single time,” said Mr. Engelhard (Al) Sundoro, Managing Director
for Garmin South Asia. “VIRB 360 owners will no longer need to worry about
trying to capture the perfect angle or setting up the perfect shot. The
camera’s easy-to-use feature set will make even the most inexperienced users look
like experts.”

Garmin offers a free
downloadable VIRB Mobile app and desktop software to edit, stabilize, share and
add data overlays to any VIRB 360 video content – features that make the VIRB
360 easier to use than most other 360 cameras. Boasting conveniently simple
one-touch button controls, the VIRB 360 also incorporates helpful voice control4 options
to start and stop recordings, snap photos and more. And to make the most of
“in-the-moment” experiences, the VIRB 360 features livestream5 capabilities
to post to YouTube™ or Facebook Live with a compatible smartphone or tablet.

The VIRB 360 offers a
rechargeable, one-hour battery life while recording. Even more impressive,
whether it’s a family event or a rigorous journey, the VIRB 360 is built to
withstand overheating and wet conditions. Beyond video, the VIRB 360 can take
stitched-in-camera, 360-degree, 15 megapixel spherical photos. Photo modes
include single capture, burst shooting, and time lapse. Additionally, the
camera is equipped with a sunlight-readable display for users to identify
battery life, storage capacity and video modes. The VIRB 360 supports Wi-Fi®,
Bluetooth®, ANT+®, and NFC (one-tap connection with
Android™ devices) connectivity.

Offering a wealth of flexibility
and range, the VIRB 360 is compatible with industry-leading virtual reality
headsets and live playback through the free VIRB Mobile app. What’s more, the
camera is compatible with Apple® and Android devices, and comes
with its own unique tripod/handgrip. The VIRB 360 uses replaceable microSD
memory6 cards of up to 128GB (sold separately).
