Reviews around customer support (5.00 of 5)

  • After many days of communication with garmin customer support it has been determined that the camera is most likely defective since I have been unable to pair it with the fenix 2 after many attempts at troubleshooting with customer support.
  • I have owned Garmin GPS devices over the years and always found them to be durable, well designed and Garmin has great customer support
  • I am still a fan of the camera and Garmin's customer support but it is frustrating to be going on my 3rd camera in less than 90 days.

Reviews around image (4.47 of 5)

  • To most the image looks boring and flat
  • At first I was put off by the barrel distortion but selecting the option to correct lens distortion in both camera and video modes now give nice rectangular images without objectionable bowing
  • i love it , a very usefully sport camera, very handing and the best image .the data of the movement is AWESOME !!
  • The camera works great, provides a nice stabilized image, and the prop filter does remove the spinning prop/focal point.
  • I'd avoid using it entirely, except it's necessary for integrating all the nifty G-Metrix data into the video.
