Garmin Wind Block f/VIRB® Cradle

Enhance Your VIRB Footage with Crystal-Clear Audio

Capturing epic adventures on your Garmin VIRB or VIRB Elite action camera often means battling relentless wind noise that muddles your audio. Whether you're shredding trails on a mountain bike, cruising open roads on a motorcycle, or pushing limits in extreme sports, clear sound is key to reliving those moments vividly. This wind block accessory steps in as your audio savior, designed specifically to shield your camera's microphone from gusty winds without compromising the immersive video quality you expect from Garmin's rugged lineup.

Unlike basic foam covers, this precision-engineered wind block mounts seamlessly to the end of your VIRB cradle, creating a targeted barrier that cuts down turbulent airflow right at the source. Riders and adventurers swear by it for transforming noisy recordings into professional-grade tracks, letting you hear every cheer, engine rev, or natural ambient sound with remarkable fidelity.

Key Benefits for Action Camera Enthusiasts

• Superior Wind Noise Reduction: Tackles high-wind scenarios head-on, ensuring your voiceovers, commentary, or environmental audio remain crisp and undistorted.
• Easy, Secure Attachment: Snaps onto the cradle's end with an included screw for rock-solid hold during intense vibrations and speeds.
• Pack of Three: Ideal for multiple cameras, spares for wear-and-tear, or sharing with your adventure crew.
• Maintains Camera Performance: Doesn't block the lens or sensors, preserving wide-angle views and HD clarity.
• Durable Construction: Built to withstand harsh outdoor elements, from dusty trails to salty ocean sprays.

Perfect for High-Wind Adventures

Imagine mounting your VIRB on a helmet for downhill skiing, where crosswinds howl at 40+ mph, or on a drone for aerial shots in breezy conditions. This wind block shines in these setups, minimizing that infamous "whooshing" effect that plagues unprotected action cams. It's a must-have for motorcyclists documenting long hauls, kite surfers capturing massive airs, or paragliders logging flights—any scenario where wind threatens to drown out your story.

Pro tip: Pair it with your VIRB's built-in stabilization for buttery-smooth footage paired with pristine audio, elevating your edits from amateur clips to shareable highlights that rack up views on social platforms.

Quick and Hassle-Free Installation

1. Power off your VIRB and remove it from the cradle.
2. Align the wind block with the cradle's end port.
3. Secure it using the provided screw—tighten just enough for a snug fit without over-torquing.
4. Remount your camera and test in a windy spot to hear the difference instantly.

No tools beyond a basic screwdriver needed, and it's reversible if you switch setups. Expect it to stay put through bumpy rides or sudden maneuvers.

Compatibility and Longevity Tips

Fully tailored for VIRB and VIRB Elite cradles, ensuring a perfect fit without modifications. While optimized for these models, check your cradle specs if using aftermarket mounts. To maximize lifespan, rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure and store in a dry bag. Replace when foam degrades from UV or repeated impacts— the pack of three gives you plenty of runway.
