![]() The best resolution we were able to view our footage on YouTube is 1440P, beyond that it looks very low quality (which you can see in Garmin's own video further down in the review). However, i f we want to watch 4K videos in 4K resolution, we'd need a 4K monitor. Up to 4k 30fps the video is automatically stitched and ready to be uploaded straight onto a 360-compatible platform - like YouTube or Facebook. The camera records two different videos, one from each lens (offering a resolution of up to 5.7K 30fps depending), and automatically stitches the overlapping clips together if you select to record in any resolution up to 4K - which is high enough quality for most purposes. The two large CMOS sensors are 12-megapixel, each with 201.8-degree field-of-view. There are buttons on the device as well as a small LCD touchscreen menu to let you flick through settings like timelapse, or to choose to use one of the lenses rather than both. There is a microSD slot for storage (though the VIRB 360 doesn't come with a microSD supplied). These look like they could be damaged fairly easily if you’re not careful, but Garmin sells a replacement kit which can be fitted in seconds. The camera itself is a fairly small and lightweight device, with fisheye lenses protruding from the front and rear. In the box, we get the VIRB 360 camera, a charging cable, a lithium-ion battery, a tripod, an action cradle and an instruction booklet. And it’s packed with features, including live streaming, WiFi and built-in GPS - great for showing your friends where you are and just how fast you’re going. Technology like this is expensive, but Garmin reckons its VIRB 360 - which retails for around £650 - hits the sweet spot between amateur enthusiast and serious filmmaker. But Garmin also supplies action cameras, like this 360-degree camera. Most people know Garmin for its sat navs and, more recently, its range of fitness products. ![]()
