The main feature, and the selling point for the VIRB Elite, is the ability to overlay the data over your footage. The free edit suite can be downloaded here. Admittedly I do not have anything to compare to - I would certainly like to compare the quality to that of a GoPro at some stage. As soon as I arrived home I loaded the edit suite on my laptop, connected the camera (using the same provided USB cable) and downloaded the footage. I captured some footage from the car on the way home. Of course I was dying to see what the quality of the footage was going to be like. Having said that, the unit is pretty easy to operate, and I could work the basics out without referring to a manual at all. The Quickstart Manual included in the box is just that and it is worth downloading the full Owner’s Manual here. Don’t be a chop like me and forget to put the battery pack into the unit before plugging it in! The initial charge took about 5 hours, but I believe the normal charging time is less than that. I used the provided USB cable and my laptop. Luckily I work for a tech company and I could have one on my desk by the next morning. So first mistake I made was not checking to see what else I needed to order the unit needs a microSD card to operate and this is not included. So when I saw a special for a Garmin VIRB Elite online I jumped at the opportunity. I have put off buying an action camera for years now, mainly due to pricing.
