Comparing the GoPro Hero5 Black and Garmin VIRB Ultra 30
Brent Ros compared the GoPro Hero5 Black and the Garmin VIRB Ultra 30 cameras. The Garmin has a touchscreen that works even when in the waterproof case, but the menu system is clunky and slow. The Garmin has Bluetooth and Ant Plus radio, which allows it to connect to external accessories like heart rate monitors and bicycle power meters. However, the GoPro has better image quality and color accuracy, especially in low light conditions, while the Garmin is sharper in 4K resolution. The GoPro also has better audio quality, especially for water sports. Overall, the article gives the win to the GoPro Hero5 Black due to its better image and audio quality and ease of use.
The GoPro Hero5 Session: Features and Upgrades
The GoPro Hero5 Session is an easy-to-mount camera that is physically identical to the Hero4 Session but with key upgrades to its features. It can now shoot 4K at 30 frames per second and 1080 at speeds of up to 90 frames per second. Photos have also been upgraded from 8 to 10 megapixels. It has linear view and stabilization options, voice command, and can change modes and adjust settings using the rear and top buttons. The video quality has significantly improved with more details, defined shapes, and wider dynamic range. It can also shoot smoother slow-motion videos at 90 frames per second at 1080p. The Hero5 Session is a good deal at $300 for those who need something small and easily mountable.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the GoPro Hero 5 Black and Hero 5 Session are both great options for those looking for high-quality action cameras. The Hero 5 Black offers better image and audio quality, waterproofing without a case, and a responsive touchscreen.
