Garmin Entering The Video Marketplace

I would like to purchase a video setup like many have here for my Maule.

GoPro seems to be the most popular, but I just noticed that Garmin has now entered the fray with their own camera.

Has anyone seen or used one yet? Garmin indicates it will be widely available this month.

Here is the link :

Hence the sudden price drop of the Go-Pro. :shock:

Interesting, very interesting. Only a side by side comparison of the image quality with a GoPro would sell me.

I'll be curious to see how the integrated display and battery life are.

That commercial was oddly devoid of aviation, save for the skydiver. :x
