I wouldn’t have thought it was a big deal, but if you look at DC Rainmaker’s comparative glass still photography and my videos (which could pass for an earthquake simulation), it’s clear that aerobars get a lot of vibration. The problem is that the end of aerobars gets a lot of vibrations.
I had to mount the camera way up front on my aero bars to get a clean unobstructed view– if I moved it anywhere else, I get my shifters in the frame (disclaimer: I have not tested every conceivable location but mostly those that would impact aerodynamics the least). In an earlier post, I demonstrated using the Virb on a recent training ride with my TT bike. I’ve seen the dark side so, while I have a healthy respect for photographers, I don’t want to be one. And it means dad absolutely had to bring a crap ton of really expensive photographic equipment absolutely everywhere because … you… just … never… knew … where that perfect next shot would be coming from. It means having a room in your house that is “dad’s secret lab” (filled with enlarging equipment, strange trays, and weird chemicals, etc) that could cause you instantaneous death if you entered while said dad was developing film and enlarging photographs. It means sitting through endless slide shows after dinner reliving recent vacations. That should pretty much explain it all right there, but, just in case you’re young and don’t fully understand what that means to someone of my generation, let me fill you in. Let me say right up front that I am not a camera guy. This review is intended as a supplement– my thoughts about how I can see using the Virb day-to-day and what I like and don’t like.
He does a far better job at explaining products and thoroughly testing them than I ever could. For that, I refer my dear readers to DC Rainmaker’s review of the Garmin Virb and Virb Elite.

This review isn’t really intended as a full product review. It’s been a fun week or so playing with it. I’ve been having some fun with the Garmin Virb that I bought to liven up this blog.
