I promise y'all had a cracking Father's Day weekend. Over the weekend, I tested the Garmin Virb 360's underwater capabilities inwards a swimming pool. Here are videos together with photos.
The Garmin Virb 360 is waterproof upwardly to x meters, without needing a housing. The Virb is solely the minute 360 photographic tv set camera for consumers to create that (the outset was the Nikon Keymission 360).
Of course, only because a photographic tv set camera is waterproof does non negate the laws of physics. In particular, refraction volition frequently hold upwardly an issue. That is why in my listing of 12 things to know virtually the Virb earlier ordering, I warned that Garmin had non posted whatever underwater photos or videos, together with that at that spot would probable hold upwardly refraction underwater.
I took the Virb 360 to a swimming puddle to notice out. As expected at that spot was refraction. Nonetheless, the stitching looked amend than the other 360 cameras I've used underwater, such every bit the Keymission 360 (see these samples past times Young360), the Elecam 360 amongst its housing (see these samples from Elecam), the Gear 360 2017 (with an water-resistant case), the 2016 Gear 360, together with the Nano, Xiaomi Mi Sphere. (Please banker's complaint the H2O atmospheric condition were non identical.)
In the example of the Virb, every bit long every bit the photographic tv set camera is vertical together with nada is passing over the sew line, it looks smooth. If the photographic tv set camera is vertical, the stitching looks weird. And manifestly if anything passes over the sew draw of piece of job it volition facial expression dissever because of refraction.
Anyway hither is the video:
Here are total resolution underwater photos (along amongst other photos):
Without an underwater housing amongst spherical lenses, I mean value this is every bit proficient every bit it gets.
