Frosty Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 I hardly shoot video for the entire duration. Perhaps only a few minutes of downhill sections or where it could be interesting. For the 947, I recorded time lapse photos every 2 seconds. 6800 photos @ +/- 2.5MB per photo. Can't remember the settings off hand, but I'll check the settings tonight and edit the post Edit: Setting 1: 2h10Resolution: 1080Frames/sec: 50Angle: Wide Settimg 2: 2h10Resolution: 1440Frames/sec: 48Angle: Wide Setting 3: 1h27Resolution: 2.7KFrames/sec: 25Angle: Wide http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/12/15/83e787945b9af3e63290e38c2a112157.jpg
Frosty Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Hi geraldm24,Which do you think is better and more practical? To carry the Red-E powerbank with you or just one or two spare batteries?If it's on the bike mount, I'd say... powerbank. No need to change or fiddle while riding. Only problem is that you habe to use the skeleton mount, so rain/water crossing could be a problem. If mounted on helmet or chesty... spare batteries. I

Help will be great!Nice!Yeah class 10 is always recommended for anything that records at 1080p or greater.I have a few 32GB and they seem to be fine for me.
V12man Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 You can use the go-pro adapter that comes in the box to hook to any gopro mount - plenty of gopro mounts available pretry easily http://www.takealot.com/cameras/all?qsearch=rayne&via=suggestions http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2014/08/garmingopro-pioneer-aerodynamic.html and many others
BIERSTEKER Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Hi, Anyone know who will support the VIRB in future? GARMIN discontinued this model. Concerned re extra battery and warranty claim if needed...

Harryn Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 Anton, I think I think you will find this more useful. I am going to go buy the extra mounts from Garmin,andgive. This a shot in the holidays http://youtu.be/9Bo8bgzzixs
sawystertrance Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I have both the Virb (not elite) and the Go pro hero 2, a tad outdated but stil a fabulous little hd camera. I prefer the virb. Battery life is longer, picture is every bit as good as the GPro and most importantly when using for the purpose intended, the start recording button is fool proof. On the Go pro, (old ones) it was quite fiddly to get it to the setting you wanted before starting to record... On the garmin.. there is one big fat button that you slide forward. You know when you are recording and when not. A mate took me for a spin in his chopper, between St Francis and Jay bay.. was awesome, recorded the whole thing on the Go pro. Was fantastic until I got home and realised that the camera was on still picture setting so I only had one photo. The worst was I looked like a complete chop holding the camera in just the right position for the entire trip. FAIL. Wont have that on the Garmin.On the GoPro4 they have sorted that out with QuickCapture. If you enable that, it boots immediately into the function of your choice. I have set mine up to boot stright to video and have set the "On" button default to photo. That means I now have 2 startup options. If I press the top button, the camera immediately start recording video and if I boot using the bottom button it starts into the default mode which I have set to photo. https://gopro.com/support/articles/what-is-quikcapture-and-how-does-it-work PM me for details if you like..
