Cooler Master's Mastercase Maker 5 features their free form modular system, allowing you to customize, adjust, and upgrade. Make it yours at the link below. One of my biggest problems with the GoPro Hero 4 line and below in the ocean of GoPro knockoffs has always been the usability. Often their best mounting places are inconvenient to get to or in a place where you can't monitor them easily, like the top of your helmet, making it so that you can't really tell if the thing is actually recording or not without firing up the app on your phone, which is inconvenient for its own reasons. And your only real option in many cases is to have it record the entire event where you risk your battery dying and your SD card filling up. Now, in film making or video creation in general, arguably the most important thing is getting the shot. A big proponent of this over the last few years has been the venerable Casey Neistat. He has said many times that gear doesn't matter. Story matters. And to get the story, you need to get the shot. So, with that in mind, let's start with the Verb's new accessibility features. They are in no particular order. Okay, Garmin, start recording. Okay, Garmin, remember that. Okay, Garmin, stop recording. Okay, Garmin, take a picture. Start and stop recording and take a picture are all rather self-explanatory. What remember that does is when you go to edit your video, there will be tags throughout your footage of where you told it to remember something. So, what you could do is just okay Garmin, remember that. All you have to say is remember that and then when you finally get to edit that footage later on, you don't have to scrub through everything you filmed, which could be a huge benefit when you've got a lot of footage. Also of note is that being able to start and stop recording with just my voice ended up being a huge battery saver over time. Continuing the theme of usability, we have a legitimately astonishing touchcreen. No, really. It works through the water resistant case. Not while it's underwater, mind you, and the screen isn't nearly as responsive or accurate when used in this manner. But despite my complaints, I did end up using it, even if it was often in combination with the hardware buttons. It also features live streaming when paired with an iPhone, automatic multi- camera sync if you're doing a more complicated shoot, Bluetooth audio, and ant plus in order to connect additional sensors like heart rate sensors on top of the high sensitivity GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, alttimeter, and compass suite that they're calling Gmetrics. And that serves as proof that you went that high, rode that fast, etc. Very cool. Which is all fine and good as long as it doesn't look or sound like butt. But I'm going to pass things off to our in-house camera expert, Brandon Lee, to take a look at that. Jumping into image quality, the Verb is surprisingly solid in this department. The Verb's image is quite comparable to the GoPro Hero4 Black, rendering similar detail in the recording. The addition of the image stabilization is a nice touch and will come in handy in certain shooting situations, but it is by no means a substitute for a proper stabilizer that can be used with action cameras like this. Like GoPro, Garmin has decided to include a flat profile in the Verb when you want to capture a wider dynamic range. However, when using the vivid profile setting on the Verb, Garmin has done a good job on not making the image feel oversaturated or processed in camera, something that I've seen action cameras do in the past. Overall, the Image and the Verb stands up to the competition in this space, but with the recent release of the GoPro Hero 5, that might not be the case for much longer. Thank you, Brandon. In the accessories department, Garmin has quite a number of options for you to scoop up. But if you're drowning in GoPro mounts already, never fear, the mounting mechanism was shamelessly ripped off of GoPro and therefore can be used interchangeably. So, conclusion time. It's interesting, but is it worth it? I'm going to give the ever annoying answer of maybe. Complicating my conclusion is the extremely recent announcement of GoPro's Hero 5 lineup, which features water resistance without housing and similar voice control, but not the additional sensors. So, I have a feeling I'll need to do my review of that before I can give a more complete conclusion. They're even the same price now that Garmin has lowered theirs by about $100. No word yet on whether or not early buyers will be getting a refund. Let's hope that is true. So, awesome sensor data or almost certainly better image quality of the raw capable GoPro Hero 5 that we will check out soon. Let me know in the comments down below which you prefer. But for now, okay, Garmin, stop recording. You know what? Printers, specifically the PageWide Pro MFP 477DW. It offers best-in-class ISO speeds. It's very quick to print the first page and can print up to 70 pages per minute. On the 500 series models with double-sided print speeds of 25 pages per minute, it can do single pass double-sided scanning and allows you to spend less time and budget on scheduled maintenance with their pagewide technology. It's got front USB that supports multiple file formats such as Word and PowerPoint. and its intuitive touchscreen controls allow you to navigate on the 4.3 inch display. You can set up pins for receiving print jobs that are confidential in the workplace and you can print from mobile devices with Wi-Fi Direct and NFC touchprint technology.
