The image is really clear and i'm pleased with it. The contrast of the colours really pop! Ive only tested the 1080p quality.
You have to wipe the lens often tho as little spots can really distort the image on the curved lens. This was easy when I mounted it on my helmet. Ill be posting a link to a video soon once i figure out how to edit it!
Been using the Virb for a while.
After the FW upgrade things got a lot better.
I think that overall it kicks the Gopro's ass-
no fogging so far, connectivity to ANT+, connections and parts are well designed, longer battery life etc.
The Gopro does have 4K and an insane pixel count but 1080P is enough for my use.

Should NEVER fog, as it's not in a separate case!
Unless you're in the business of futzing around in post to make sure the color and white balance is right, the GoPro just looks like someone pissed on all the whites. With a lot of pixels. When you can see the whites, through all the fog...
Garmin Virb Elite and Twintip hydrofoil test video.
quality is actually much much better, have to reduce resolution due to file size limit by Vimeo.
Watch out Gopro, better catch up.
Here is a short test vid on my SUP.
Used the regular black Virb.
The Virb comes with a Gopro mount adapter so basicaly any gopro mount will fit but the Gopro mounts are crap compared to the Garmin mounts.
