Image Quality

While it may not have the image quality of your traditional HD camcorder, the ContourHD helmet camera is superb when used in good lighting. Even in low light, video images are better than expected. Any under-exposure can be corrected in post production.

For fast action sports, the 720p video at 30 fps is amazingly smooth, with excellent color rendition, exposure and contrast. Standard definition mode offers a 90-degree field of view while the 135-degree fisheye lens records with minimal distortion. The helmet cam’s SD mode can also record at 60 frames per second for an incredibly smooth, action-packed video.

Audio Performance

With its built-in, omni-directional microphone, the ContourHD camera captures sounds that go with the action. The upgraded version of the ContourHD 1080p comes with an improved microphone that minimizes wind noise, which was the biggest drawback of previous versions.

Easy to Use for Action Clips

With its long and narrow design, the ContourHD 1080p camera remains stable even at higher speeds. When the camera is first turned on, two laser beams will shoot out in order to help you align the camera. To start recording, simply slide forward the large RECORD switch on top of the camera. The camera provides a single beep when the camera starts recording. It makes a double beep when you stop recording. This helpful feature makes it easy to activate the camera without the need to take it off its mount.

Rugged Enough for All Conditions

With its tough, rugged aluminum body, the camera can take all sorts of outdoor abuse. It is water resistant but not waterproof. You can use the camera safely in snow, mud, rain, sleet to capture your epic adventures. An optional waterproof case allows the camera to handle depths up to 10 meters.

What Customers Say

With its rugged build and excellent video quality, customers say the ContourHD camera is one of the best hands-free, point-of-view HD cameras around. It’s easy to operate in outdoor conditions and can handle all the abuse that comes with extreme sports such as snowboarding, skiing, biking, bungee jumping, skydiving, etc. Just remember to get the type of mounting you need for your adventure.

A number of customers find the lack of an LCD screen worrisome. But then again, an LCD is not really practical on a helmet-mounted camera. Some customers, however, would be happy to be able to make onboard adjustments and not have to use a computer to set the camera’s recording options.

Overall, customers say this is an extraordinary HD camcorder for capturing action and sport videos on the go. The ContourHD 1080p camera is highly recommended for outdoor and sport enthusiasts who want to document their adventures and share them with everyone.
