garmin are garbage,
over priced, buggy software, unreliable, poor customer support, servicing only avail in taiwan,
will sell you or with warantee use second hand parts as new parts

DO NOT BUY GARBAGEMIN

all 4 products (including a verb cam) i bought lasted around 18 months, a very costly lesson for me. be warned.

I have the Vurb Ultra 30 along with many other Garmin products in other categories and I've had the opposite experience. I have experienced a couple of software bugs (not on the Ultra 30, just on the other products) but they are usually fixed quickly with a software update. I had to RMA my Forerunner watch one time. The service center here in the States is in KS and even though the shipping wasn't exactly "ASAP", they covered everything no questions asked.

I have that camera. I like it a great deal.

Linked with my heart rate monitor. Adjust the quality to 1440p HD if it doesn't auto do it for you.

Also have the Virb Ultra 30 and have had no issues so far. The Garmin video editing software is the weak point but slowly improving with each update.

Synced my the heart rate monitor and the the camera does the rest. The jump detection does not work very well but lap times and course layout seem accurate.

Those 360 cameras are dope when you watch in a VR headset.

Thanks everyone, the lap timer was one of the main things I was concerned about!

yes well when youve sunk around $1500 and they all gave trouble and they all broke and servicing is only by sending them to taiwan, you dont think highly of the company.

go check the garmin forum and look at all thr issues with so many products if you dont beleive me..

im trying warn people that their products a not worth what you pay for them.
