Garmin Virb 360

On paper, the Virb 360 has everything – from ruggedness and quality to smart features and data overlays – but it’s pretty bulky and pretty expensive too, which dents its appeal somewhat compared to newer cameras like the GoPro Max and smaller, simpler models like the Insta360 One X.

The Virb 360 comes with clip-on cradles for both a regular tripod mount and a GoPro mount. You can operate it as a standalone camera via a small mono display and three multi-function buttons, or you can control it via the Virb app.

The Virb’s stills show average sharpness, but with little colour fringing, and well-blended seams where the two hemispherical images are stitched. Its 5.7K capture should yield better results, but you need a computer for that. In-app stitching is restricted to 4K.

The app offers simple but efficient tools for adding smooth camera pans and angle of view changes to create separate standalone movies for saving and sharing. The in-built GPS and G-Metrix sensors also offer data overlays for extreme sports fans who want their viewers to see this extra data. If you like your adventures rugged, this is the tool for job, but newer cameras like the GoPro Max and Insta360 models mean the Virb 360 now feels a little bulky and expensive.
