Still making their great 1080HD version


.....coming to the market the 1080hd verision with built in GPS to track your speed, elevation and location while filming!

My only issue to this point is wind noise. How is everyone else dealing with this?

I'm not very Happy with My Contour HD, picture Quality is very poor, for 720, and the rubber "hinges" for the memory card/battery access are broken, wishing now I went with the Go Pro Hero HD. Just My $0.2

hey rev kev, do you want to sell your camera then since you don't like it.

thanks mike

Kind of a weak spot on the unit (rubber door and hinges) but if you contact them you will have a new rubber door and hinges and installation instructions in a matter of days.

Comparing the cheapest contour unit with the most expensive GorproHD unit?

can you still use quick straps for your goggles?

I have a Thor helmet and it seems like I have already used up the 2 flat spots on my helmet sides with the mounts for the quickstraps.

Worried about buying a 300 camera and not having a spot to mount it to my helmet that would suck

Thx

I have been happy with mine.my only issue is the cover lense getting wet or foggy.I talked to the count our guys at the hang town moto,they said it was normal.
I guess u could use a non fog cloth.
Tudizzle is a lot of your footage shot at Sonora pass?

Yes...some comes from SP.

I ride an extended Presidents day weekend out there every year.

5-6 days at a friends backcountry cabin.

Fantastic terrain for riding.

Going thru my winter gear and getting everything ready.

Ripped that rubber door off the back of the camera...I said it was a weak spot. But once again their customer service is not!

Sent Contour a note late last night and explained the situation including my mailing address. First thing this am they sent me an email letting me know that the new door was already on it's way and to expect it in a couple days.

What a great company to deal with!

The Contour comes with 2 mounts in its basic kit.

The flat or fixed mount. Which is a plastic disc that is hard mounted to a flat surface. The camera then clips in and out of that disc.

Then it also comes with a mount that attaches to your goggle strap. This is the mount I use on my helmet. Its a plastic sleeve that you fit around your strap and that the camera clips in and out of.

I do not use quick straps but as long as you have about 1.5-2 inches of strap you should be able to use.

You can also purchase some other mounts like a suction cup mount or handle bar clamp...and they make a universal adapter so the camera fits onto any standard tripod mount making the options limitless

What brand of board was that? I haven't seen anything that short, is it tougher to ride? Video looks great do they have any kind of filter or setting to elininate the wind?

Just got my new ContourGPS, wanted to see what you guys do for settings. When in 1080 mode you have the option quality of poor, medium, highest. And it shows shortest battery life for highest, etc. Do you guys use 1080 at highest or more like 1080 poor?

Just curious to see.

720 action wide is the best setting for snowmobiling..IMO

wider field of view....60 fps and it will fill your whole screen (no black sides)
