Garmin 010-11921-14 Virb Audio Video Cable

This cable/adapter does work for the Garmin Virb Ultra 30. I belive the cable has been discontinued by Garmin. The Ultra 30 can use a Bluetooth headset or microphone for external audio, so discontinuing a cable this unattractive was understandable.I was specifically looking for an adapter to use an external TRS jack style microphone on my Ultra 30.I even tried the Movo adapter for a GoPro with high hopes, but that did not work.I tried a USB-mini to USB-C adapter cable connected with a USB-C to Aux/USB-C for smartphones. It was a mess of cables!!THIS IS THE ONLY THING THAT WORKS FOR MY ULTRA 30. BUT FOR $100, BUY A GOOD QUALITY BLUETOOTH MIC AND MAKE YOUR LIFE EASY!!

I intended to get this cable for on scene playback with a small 4.3 inch portable DC 12.5V monitor because the Garmin viewfinder was inadequate for certain situations. Then Garmin just released a download upgrade allowing live external monitor capability. In addition the audio cables can be used for input or output. The quality of the camera, resolution and fast upload for processing make all this extra effort worthwhile. This set up also allows flexibility if I just want to shoot with the Virb itself. One quirk is the cable design in which there's a mess with the pigtail immediately coming out the back of the camera. I would have preferred a longer (optional) single cable extending to the 4 wire braid. Like the Garmin camera itself the Virb AV Cable is well constructed. I got more than I bargained for with this Virb accessory.

VERY HANDY TO HAVE

This is the only cable that I can get the VIRB ELITE to recognize. It works as described and is a a good item if you plan on wanting higher audio recording for your camera.

Title says it all. Garmin discontinued the basic mic adapt cable making my new Vibe Ultra 30 useless for a plug in external mic. So dumb and upsetting ! Hopefully someone makes one soon.

It was a total waste.

worked very good

Thank you

This two-way cable plugs into the mini USB port on the VIRB and provides 4 ports: 3.5mm audio in for an external mic, 3.5mm audio out, composite video out, and mini UBS port. That's to plug in the mini USB end of the VIRB's charging cable to provide power/enable charging while still using the other 3 ports. It's essentially a mini USB extension cable -very clever. The other port on the VIRB itself is a micro HDMI to connect the micro end of an HDMI cable (with a standard size HDMI at the other end) to a TV or other HDMI enabled screen in order to view video and stills in full HD.I'm happy I bought this cable array. However, there are no instructions, and it's taken some research to figure out how to use it. I hope this review help others.

Just the job

love it

Großer Mist, weil an einer kleinen Actioncam nicht zu gebrauchen. Die Kabelage, die ich gekauft habe, ist tonnenschwer und reißt mir die Verbindung zur Kamera ab.Ich habe mich selber daran gemacht und das Kabel gekürzt neu isoliert und auf das Wesentliche reduziert. Jetzt funktioniert es. Ich besitze ein Actioncam von Garmin und bin seit Jahren schon auf der Suche nach einem entsprechenden Kabel für den externen Lautsprecher, werde aber bei Garmin selber nicht fündig. Eine sehr schäbige Modellpolitik.

Generell ist dieser Adapter aber viel zu unflexibel- ich befürchte, dass auf kurz oder lang (wie anderen Leuten bereits passiert) die 10-polige Buchse im USB-Mini-Format der VIRB mal irgendwann Schaden nimmt, wenn dieser Adapter Schwingungen ausgesetzt wird.Dieser Steckverbinder erweckt kein Vertrauen der Haltbarkeit in mir. Bei fixer Verlegung sicherlich unproblematisch!
