Thoughts or experiences with action cameras

I have been using the original Garmin Virb Elite when biking and it works great.

Pros:

  • takes standalone geotagged jpegs, easy to upload afterwards
  • regular GoPro mount compatible
  • if you want to record video, the GPS trace and video are in sync
  • battery time is great, I never run out of battery before my legs give up :wink:

Cons:

  • the fastest it can do is 2s intervals
  • GPS lock takes longer than phone (because not using cellular to lock)

I have high hopes for future 360 action cams but none of the promising models are shipping yet.
