Gear Review - Garmin VIRB vs GoPro

Want a POV action camera but not sold on the GoPro, take a look at Garmin's answer.

Big thanks goes out to my friend Marc for letting tag a long to the dirt jumping and paragliding excursions, thanks dude. Look forward to more like them!

=============================

So Garmin's done a pretty bang up job on this action camera. It's growing on me every day, take a look at the official South African seller of Garmin Products:

⌦ Navworld

⌦ Garmin VIRB

⌦ Garmin Montana 600

⌦ GoPro Hero 3 Silver Edition

Here is the link to the Videomaker article on the POV's

Hey Karl Reith - would it be possible to get a video with some split framing of the 2 cameras?  it'd be awesome be able to see the difference in color vibrancy and shadows and such.

thanks!

Hello Karl,

Great video very insightful and useful for my purchase decision. This is slightly off topic however I am a complete amateur video editor, it is just a bit of fun for me. Can I ask what you used to create this video, more importantly my interest is how did you at 0.30 have the Garmin Camera appear in the top right, with no frame or background ? 

Thanks in advance.
