When it comes to 360-degree cameras the Garmin VIRB 360 is one of the best in the business – pricey at around £650, but loaded with an array of fantastic features, it’s perfect for capturing action in water, land and air.
Rugged and waterproof the VIRB 360 can take a complete sphere of high-resolution video, audio and photos. Four built-in microphones ensure high quality 360-degree audio, while the camera’s ability to capturing 5.7K/30 frames per second, and 360-degree photos, burst shots and time lapse up to 15 megapixels ensures high quality video and photographs.
Three modes of 4K spherical stabilization ensures a smooth video regardless of camera movement. Stabilize-mode smooths quick movements and vibrations without overriding camera orientation.
