If you are looking for a simple to use, high-quality, action camcorder \u2013 be sure to look at the Garmin VIRB.<\/span>\u00a0 This bullet shaped, rugged little camera takes great 1080p HD video or 16MP stills and is extremely easy to operate.<\/p>\n

Load it with a micro SD card of your choice, charge the battery and start shooting.\u00a0 The small LCD screen lets you pick from a menu of selections but I find that mine all stay the same each time I use it with one exception.<\/p>\n

You have the option of shooting normally or upside down, and that\u2019s the one thing I change. When using the tripod mount, I obviously use the normal mode. When biking, kayaking and the like, I have the helmet mount attached to the side of my helmet to get it to eyelevel.\u00a0 In that case, the camera hangs upside down and the menu reverses the video. No need to worry about a little rain, the unit is water resistant (IPX7).<\/p>\n

The operation couldn\u2019t be simpler.\u00a0 You can turn it on with the power button, check the menu and then start shooting, or you can simply slide the \u201crecord\u201d slide forward and it turns on the camera and starts shooting within seconds.<\/p>\n
