- General
- Brand: Garmin
- Model Number: 010-01529-03
- Product Name: VIRB Ultra 30 4K Water Resistant Action Camera
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Resolution (Display): 4000 x 3000 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: None (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 2x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Optical (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- 360 Degree Capture: false (The capability of the product to record an image incorporating a 360 degree point of view.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Image File Format(s): JPEG (Standardized software format(s) of storing digital images. The type of format chosen for capturing and compressing the image can determine quality, level of detail, and storage space required.)
- Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic/manual
- Focus Modes: Automatic/manual
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/2.6 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/2.6 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 2.73 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- White Balance Modes: Incandescent, Flourescent, Average Daylight, Sunny, Cloudy, Snowy (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 12 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 2.73 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 1.75 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (The measurement of the width of a screen compared to the height of a screen, expressed as a ratio.)
- Touch Screen: true (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)
- HDR Mode: true (HDR Mode uses multiple photos taken at different exposures to add more dynamic range to photographs. HDR technology displays content with greater contrast between bright and dark, resulting in clearer and more lifelike images.)
- Slow Motion Recording: false
- Video Encoding Formats: MP4 (The process of preparing the video for output, where the digital video is encoded to meet proper formats and specifications for recording and playback with the use of a compatible device.)
- Storage
- Number of Memory Card Slots: 1
- Compatibility
- Tripod/Monopod Mountable: true (A support function that allows the device to be mounted to monopods and tripods for leveling and stability.)
- Socket Size: 1/4 in.

- Features
- Face Detection: false (A function that automatically detects human faces and then sets focus and appropriate exposure to capture them.)
- Action Camera: true
- Integrated Speaker(s): true
- Night Recording: true (The ability to capture and record video in low-light conditions, typically via infrared light or intensifier tubes that amplify existing light to illuminate the scene.)
- Wind Noise Reduction: true (If you take a lot of outside videos, in windy conditions, you'll need to make sure you have wind noise reduction on your camcorder. It does just what it says it does, cuts down the noise of the wind as it hits the microphone.)
- Special Effects: yes (Image effects accomplished through software applied to images. These can change noise level, gradient, and other aspects of your image.)

Q: It looks like the mount system is a GoPro Style. Will it work with GoPro mounts?
A: Yes. I use the VIRB (in the Garmin housing) and mount it on my helmet, suction cup & extension GoPro pole ... all past Hero mounts I had handy. So you can use past GoPro mounting systems. But not the actual camera housing. Enjoy!
A: Unsure what you meant by "Will this item last for a while?" The Virb Ultra 30 is more a sports cam not a dash cam. It can be used as one and works great but you will need to find a external source if you are taking long trips as the batter life is about 2 hours and the video card will also be limited. If you are going to use it for off road or racing it should work wonderful for you with the g-matrix that it adds to the footage.
Q: Does it have a standard or wide angle lens?
A: The lens is wide angle. Depending on your video resolution setting, it allows for 1.5x or 2x times zoom. This is allowed in 1080p as an example, but not in 4k. I don't believe this feature is available in any photo mode. I shoot 4k,so I don't zoom. Good luck - James
A: Yes, this model includes image stabilization to reduce shaky video.
Q: Can it cover a baseball field from 1st base to 3rd?
A: It's does have a wide-angle view. I believe it will show you the entire field if behind home plate. The horizontal field of view is 123° in 4:3 and 118° in 16:9. That leaves approximately 30° on either side of center. Since it is 45° to 1st and 3rd base if eyes are centered on the pitchers mound (the angle at home plate created by the lines intersecting 1st & 3rd is 90°) you have 14-17° of field of view on either side if the camera is looking directly at the pitchers mound.
