Nice to have and then......

 

 

ANT+ and External Sensors

 

VIRB uses ANT+™ wireless connectivity so you can use a compatible Garmin device, such as fēnix, Oregon and Edge, as remote controls. And because it has Wi-Fi, you can stop and start recording or take still images wirelessly with your smart phone or compatible Garmin device so you don’t have to take your hands off the handlebars or remove the camera from the mount for that perfect shot.

 

ANT+ also works with our external sensors. Pair VIRB Elite with our tempe (wireless temperature sensor), speed/cadence bike sensor or premium heart rate monitor to include revealing information in your videos. Show how fast your heart was racing on your last bike race or while peering over the edge of the Grand Canyon. VIRB Elite also has a built-in accelerometer and altimeter for data stamping and custom filming profiles.

COOL!!

That front lens element looks mighty exposed, can see that getting scratches quite easy especially seeing its an extreme sport camera?

Same problem as the Sony

Looks like it's held on by 4 screws. Should be ok to get it replaced if it gets scratched....if lenses are available

Is this not simply the replacement lens for the dive case? So useless without the dive case?

[Shebeen]

that does look good, if it works well in it's primary function(video) then this is a serious play at grabbing some market share from GoPro.

 

wonder how well it works as an actual GPS. could you just get this and have it handlebar mounted?
