Contour GPS HD Camera
« on: March 05, 2012, 07:52:15 PM »

Anyone have one and what do you think? I am torn between this camera and the GoPro Hero 2.

They are both similar but I like the idea of the GPS and being able to track your location and speed. Also connecting with the bluetooth is nice too. I got the Iphone 4S so i can plug it into the ipod harness for charging and now to control the camera via a free APP sounds nice too.

Any feedback on this camera would be appreciated. I know there are a few members that are very happy with the GoPro2 so lets hear about the Contour.

I have the Contour Plus. It's a little more spendy but the quality is excellent. Just started using it and have the 4S as well. As you are watching the video the gps is showing where you are at on a sidebar next to the video. Once I get her going and shoot more video I will post.

One thing to be careful with. While riding and you decide to pull the lens cover and start shooting pull the cover straight off and not with any twisting motion. I have accidently turned the lens and shot video upside down. It can be corrected but something to look out for.
