Garmin Introduces VIRB Elite Aviation Bundle and Aviator Action Pack

Garmin is excited to announce an aviation-specific addition to the VIRB
action camera family. VIRB, the first true HD 1080p action camera offers
the aviation market new capabilities brought on by several new
accessories. VIRB Elite features a unique 1.4-inch Chroma™ color
display, which makes setup and playback simple and ensures pilots
capture the in-flight footage they desire. VIRB Elite offers up to three
hours of HD video to be recorded on a single charge and offers built-in
GPS, WiFi and ANT+™ connectivity for added functionality with a variety
of Garmin products.

The VIRB Elite Aviation Bundle and Aviator Action Pack offer a new
stereo headset audio cable, so pilot-to-pilot communications and air
traffic control transmissions can be heard and embedded within the
video. Also new to VIRB, a propeller filter reduces propeller distortion
created while filming video in-flight. Even while taking high quality
still photos with VIRB, propeller distortion is reduced from the photo
when the prop filter is attached. The prop filter conveniently screws on
to the front of VIRB, allowing pilots to easily remove the filter when
filming other activities.

The Aviator Action Pack includes all of the accessories in the VIRB
Elite Aviation Bundle and adds the D2 Pilot Watch. The D2 Pilot Watch
can wirelessly connect to VIRB, adding to the convenience of filming and
taking photos in-flight. When VIRB is paired with D2, pilots may
start/stop video and take photos, all VIRBHeadsetcontrolled from the D2
Pilot Watch. The seamless integration between VIRB Elite, D2, and Garmin
Pilot along with all of the accessories, gives pilots everything they
need to easily capture videos and photos in-flight in a single package –
for a great price!

In addition to the new headset cable and prop filter for aviation,
Garmin is adding a suction cup mount, 16G Class 10 microSD card, and a
free six-month trial to Garmin Pilot, to both bundles. The VIRB Elite
Aviation Bundle offers the most popular accessories used by pilots.
