I have had the Elite for a week or so now. Surprisingly, it isn't the camera for the most part I have issue with it is the integration with the software and garmin Edge.
As a person in the IT industry, I am surprised you guys would release this product and software with so many of the obvious items not included in the Edit software that you acknowledge should be there. You are too large a company to not have mapped that out and got it completed prior to release. Somebody is holding back on the resources. Open source would have likely had you further along.
In terms of integration, my primary use is cycling. I had hoped having the Ant plus and being a Garmin device would allow telemetry to smoothly come across instead off all the work arounds and synching that have to be done with other products (open source stuff, dashware.net)
Instead, I get a device that you can't change the data shown or the look of the data. Extremely relevant data such as distance, location and total ascent can't be included which would be the case if the software would synch with the file from the other unit. Essentially, the unit can't produce the cool telemetry videos we like to make.
Without these items, the unit falls well short of expectation and will likely be returned.
Please let me know any plans to allow this other relevant data to come across before I return the unit.
I appreciate your efforts to communicate on the forum.
A few other thoughts for those that may be reading and considering:
The unit without the case weighs more than gopro with the case.
At 1080p with light off, you may get 2:15 out of the battery not 3hrs.
The shape may be "aero" but it makes it much more difficult to position on the bike.
It does not work with the gopro standard bike mount. You must have the Garmin mount.
Overall, the camera performs equal to others on the market at this price.
