VIRB® Ultra 30

4K Action Camera with Voice Control and Data Overlays

Can your action camera do this — record on command? VIRB Ultra 30 can. This waterproof³ ultra HD action camera features voice control so you can tell the camera to start, stop and “remember that.” That means more hands-free selfies when you’re looking fearless — and easier editing when the action’s all done. It’s small, weighs next to nothing, and it’s ready to take on any dare or adventure, thanks to the included waterproof case.

LCD Color Touchscreen

A 1.75-inch display lets you see what you’re recording and even works inside the waterproof case.
