Garmin Virb XE cycling bundleGarmin launches Virb XE action camera cycling bundle
Garmin has announced a new cycling bundle for its Virb XE action camera that we told you about earlier in the year.
As well as the items that are included in the standard Virb XE package – sticky mounts, batteries and adapters – this cycling bundle includes a microSD card, small and large tube mounts, a vented helmet strap, and Garmin’s new cycling combo mount. That lot is priced at £349.99.
The cycling combo mount allows you to fit both a Garmin Edge and the Virb XE to your bars – the Edge attaches to the top, the camera attaches to the bottom.
Several compatible Garmin Edge units can also be used as a remote control for Virb XE, as long as the software is up to date.
Pair up the camera and an Edge via ANT+, and you can easily start and stop recording while maintaining a heads-up position, no matter if the camera is mounted on your handlebars, helmet or under the saddle.
For more info on the Virb XE and what it offers, go to our original story.

Interesting. I've never had an issue with either my base or premium Garmin HRMs.
And their customer service is not great.
sneakerfrfreak, are you suggesting that my Garmin measured peak HR of 261 might be inaccurate?
I hate to be the one to break it to you but yeah that sounds rather high, it's probably closer to 230
For their next project perhaps they'd like to design a reliable HR strap.
For some strange reason their bog standard HRM seems farily well liked and reliable whereas the 'premium' model gets slated for contact issues, damp ingress, wacko readings (probably not unrelated) and general fally-apartness. Go figure...
Yeah mines the "premium" strap.
Ordered a Polar strap yesterday, apparently the monitor pops straight on, and was amazed by the amount of reviews stating that they'd bought it to replace their Garmin "premium" strap.
Apologies this is way off topic.
Achievable goals and all that...... they gave up on that and bringing out fully developed products many many years ago..
