Garmin VIRB 360 POV cam goes to 5.7K
This new camera features four microphones and built-in stabilization.
Garmin’s new VIRB 360 POV camera offers a dizzying array of features. At the heart of the device is a spherical lens designed to capture 360-degree images. It’s also capable of shooting 5.7K at 30FPS and can stitch 4K 30FPS footage in camera. Here’s a look at what it can do.

The camera has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ANT+ and NFC connectivity. If you’re so inclined, you can overlay this data onto footage during the editing process.
In photo mode, the VIRB can take 15 megapixel spherical images. It can also be set to single capture, burst mode, or time lapse. Controlling the camera is possible via simple one touch buttons, voice controls, or a free mobile smartphone app. This app allows you edit, stabilize, and share video. There’s even an option to livestream via Facebook. Here’s a look at the 4K Spherical Stabilization,

Aside from price, the VIRB has an Achilles heel. Garmin claims it can only shoot for an hour when recording.
If this camera sounds like it’s packed with features not found in most competitors, you’re right. But all that awesome comes at a price. Retail for the Garmin is $800. If it makes things any better, that price does include a convertible handgrip/tripod.
