Garmin Virb Ultra 30 GPS 4K Action Camera Case w/ Powered Mount Case & Wiring

The Virb Ultra 30 Action Camera is Garmin's simplest, cleanest, smartest and most connected camera yet. First off, the most noticeable difference from previous models is the 1.75-inch touchscreen display that shows whatever HD 4k/30fps footage you might be filming. It's small, weighing next to nothing, waterproof, and can sync performance data with G-Metrix technology. This means speed, altitude, G-force, and even heart rate is measured with the Ultra when connected with Garmin devices. The built-in Garmin GPS (10 Hz) and other sensors automatically record data so you can easily overlay gauges and graphs onto your footage using the G-Metrix technology and Garmin connected sensors. A built-in electronic gyroscope reduces shakiness and keeps things smooth with 3-axis video stabilization. You can talk to it too! Simple commands like "start recording" or "take a picture" enable you to operate the camera truly hands-free. You can quickly view, edit, and share your videos, time lapses, and photos using the free VIRB® Mobile App connected to Youtube or other social media apps. 

A common problem with high-definition action cameras is battery life. Many manufactures claim their cameras may run for about 2 hours, but sometimes using these cameras it feels like the juice runs out sooner than 2 hours. If you're planning on filming an activity that you know lasts more than about 2 hours, you can make edits 'on the fly' by turning on and recording for interesting parts of the activity. That can be dangerous, and you shouldn't have to worry about battery life while you're enjoying and filming an activity. Garmin thought of something for this problem.

Using this case and the included wiring, you can use another battery to extend the battery life of the Virb Ultra 30. This is possible thanks to the water proof case with a sealed power chord connected to the case which keeps the camera charging. You can connect the included power cable to an external battery to keep the Virb rolling. The powered mount case keeps your camera rolling while its connected to the power supply as long as things don't get too hot. The camera can over-heat (113°F is the limit) is one of when its filming while being charged and things can get humid in the case, but don't worry about it -- there are some humidity indicator adhesives that determine the degree of moisture in the case.
