Control Virb

over 2 years ago

Few months ago I raised an issue of virb recording button on control page of 1040 but button on control page itself seems deleted in the recent firmware. But as pairing is still possible and recording mode is still available so I paired 1040 and Virb360, but it won't start recording even I set recording mode as "Training" in sensor menu. My Epix gen2 watch can control as expected and widget supports not only manual start stop but also shows detailed settings. How can i enable virb cotrol with 1040 ?

    Dear Garmin developers, 

    Could you please either re-enable the button on control screen or pay back the original price of my camera? 

    When I purchased the camera it was sold as YouTube and Facebook online stream compatible, however, Garmin forgot to give this little peace of information: it is a fake feature and it does not work.

    Then they have the otherwise free Virb software that has an annoying bug: stiching picture or video in case of raw recording is only possible from directly the camera as the sw is looking for a specific device. Maybe possible if I attach a harddisk to the machine and copy files into the root of the disk.

    Now you stopped this feature and looks like you are unwilling to repair it.

    If you do not have time, why you don't ask the community for help? I mean for both 1040 firmware and virb Edit software too. 

    How importált are the customers for you in a range 1-5? 1? Maybe 2?

    HI, unfortunately still not. Older FW version showed controls for Virb but the recent version has no control items. Official spec list on Garmin website explains "Verb remote" is supported, but actually not. This is decommit of their statement of the product. I hope this function will back with next FW version.

    Seems they have removed the virb widget with newest beta fw from the 1040 series. Accidentally? because the VIRB is still available as a sensor on the edge).
