I use the Garmin Virb Ultra 30 camera (with Bluetooth audio & sensors) and am aware that Garmin also makes a 360 Camera but it has no external audio capability. I understand that it uses its own microphones to capture surround audio and the camera gets good reviews. What I don’t understand is two things:
- Why hasn’t Garmin equipped it with Bluetooth audio to record from the several BT capable Garmin audio panels? I think we can agree that capturing real-time cockpit audio is the easiest way to produce videos.
- It also needs the sensor capability like the Virb Ultra 30 to be able to start & stop recording as is now done with Garmin Aera 660 GPS menu.
Anyone know future developments at the Garmin skunkworks? Seems it wouldn’t be too hard to incorporate these 2 upgrades in future models. With the popularity of 360 degree cameras I think there is a definite market for sales of Garmin 360 cameras with the above features to the aviation community.
Garmin what say you?
