Competition is a good thing. When a worthy challenger arises, it forces the old guard to up its game. If you believe this, stay tuned for some seriously awesome GoPro cameras. The Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 is one of the first truly worthy adversaries to the first name in action cameras. The pint-sized action cam boasts a 1.75″ LCD touchscreen, superior image stabilization, the ability to live stream to YouTube, and it records in 4K. On top of that, it offers voice control, so you can simply tell it to record and it will do so, which is a nice feature for when you’re in the midst of some epic action. It’s equipped with sensors and GPS (it is Garmin, after all) to display data like speed, elevation, heart rate, and G-force. It comes in waterproof casing and houses a high-sensitivity mic. If you’re in the market for an action camera, it’s worth considering.
