Introducing the VIRB® 360: An immersive 360-degree 5.7K camera experience from Garmin®

Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), today
announced the versatile VIRB 360, a compact, rugged and fully spherical
360-degree camera. The waterproof1 VIRB 360 is an easy-to-use
camera that captures impressive high-quality video up to 5.7K/30fps,
with four built-in microphones to ensure everything sounds as good as it
looks in any direction. Whether users are kayaking down river rapids or
mountain biking through rough terrain, the VIRB 360’s 4K Spherical
Stabilization2 makes every video smooth and steady.

With the VIRB 360, users capture video with automatic in-camera
stitching up to 4K/30fps. Videos are easily uploaded for editing or
sharing instantaneously. Taking advantage of its built-in GPS and
numerous other sensors, the VIRB 360 provides owners with customizable
G-Metrix™ data overlays in a captivating 360-degree augmented reality3
setting.

“The VIRB 360 lets you relive personal experiences and share them with
your friends – from a different point of view, every single time,” said
Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “VIRB 360
owners will no longer need to worry about trying to capture the perfect
angle or setting up the perfect shot. The camera’s easy-to-use feature
set will make even the most inexperienced users look like experts.”

Garmin offers a free downloadable VIRB Mobile app and desktop software
to edit, stabilize, share and add data overlays to any VIRB 360 video
content – features that make the VIRB 360 easier to use than most other
360 cameras. Boasting conveniently simple one-touch button controls, the
VIRB 360 also incorporates helpful voice control4 options to
start and stop recordings, snap photos and more. And to make the most of
“in-the-moment” experiences, the VIRB 360 features livestream5
capabilities to post to YouTube™ or Facebook Live with a compatible
smartphone or tablet.

The VIRB 360 offers a rechargeable, one-hour battery life while
recording. Even more impressive, whether it’s a family event or a
rigorous journey, the VIRB 360 is built to withstand overheating and wet
conditions. Beyond video, the VIRB 360 can take stitched-in-camera,
360-degree, 15 megapixel spherical photos. Photo modes include single
capture, burst shooting, and time lapse. Additionally, the camera is
equipped with a sunlight-readable display for users to identify battery
life, storage capacity and video modes. The VIRB 360 supports Wi-Fi®,
Bluetooth®, ANT+®, and NFC (one-tap connection
with Android™ devices) connectivity.

Offering a wealth of flexibility and range, the VIRB 360 is compatible
