Product Description
ContourHD is the world's first High Definition wearable camcorder that combines amazing video clarity (choose between High Definition or High Action), a wide-angle lens (135 degrees), single-button simplicity, and a click to share online experience.
Perfected for outdoor use, ContourHD can switch between crisp HD quality video (captured at 30 frames per second) or SD quality video (captured at 60 frames per second). This camera is the ideal complement to your outdoor gear with its all-in-one design ContourHD has no wires or separate recorder. Instead it records up to 8 hours of HD video to its own internal memory card (compatible with up to a 16GB microSD card). It's light (4 ounces) but armored aluminum body enables you to capture video in any weather conditions. ContourHD's Trail Mounts seamlessly attach the camera to your body, helmet, goggles, or vehicle for hands-free recording.

Really sweet product for RC Helicopter videos but the EM discharge of the heli does effect the audio.

This is a wonderful and fun little helmet cam. Videos are better than you could hope for under extreme winter conditions -- Low light, snow storm, vibration ...
Excellent construction.
Easy to use with gloves on.
Only camera battery I have owned that holds up under very low temperatures.
Most pleased.

Took it out of the box and charged it for 5 hours.
No power, no lights, no nothing.
Mounting options included in the box are too limited.
Compared to a VIO CAM this does not do the job, even if it did power up.
Plus it looks like a piece of wood with a cam mounted on the front.
Shipping time was fast, if that's important.
BRACKET BROKE and Camera Flew off my Race Bike and ended up in the middle of the RaceTrack... STILL WORKS!!! April 7, 2010

HI EVERYBODY
i received as a gift a Contour HD Camera for Christmas 2009 to record Videos while i go on the RaceTrack with my SuperBike.
In March i had the first RaceTrack Day of the Season, i entered on the RaceTrack for a Practice Session, the VideoCamera was Flat mounted on the Tank of my Motorcycle, well covered from the wind.
The Bracket was attacched with his own 3M Adhesive on the top of a Semi-Soft padding thing i made to dampening the vibrations, the padding is then glued to the tank.
After 10 minutes of Riding, i saw my Camera laying in the middle of the Asphalt in the front Straight where we normally pass at about 130-140mph.
I got back into the pits, called for a Yellow Flag before somebody got hurt and got back the Camera.
The Camera was open, it lost the Main Battery and the SD Card, fortunately i found the Battery laying about 30 feet away from where the Camera was, the Memory Card instead was lost..
The Bracketing Rails Broke... basically one of the 2 rails of the mount attached to the Bike broke, possibly due to the Vibrations, so the Camera was holding with only one rail instead of 2, but the effort was too much and the Central Rail of the Camera failed and let the Camera fell off.
The impact with the Asphalt must have been extremely hard considering that in that part of the RaceTrack we speed around 130-140mph, plus it is possible that the Camera got also ran over considering that i found it in a different spot from when i saw it the first time.
In the Impact, the ring around the lenses got ovalized, but the glass was intact, the LED Glasses of the indicators were all gone and also the little pin that holds the Battery.
AMAZINGLY the Camera still worked, once i got home i putted in a different SD Card and tried to Record a Video while holding with my finger the Battery in place, the Camera Recorded a Video just fine and even the Lasers still Worked.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
i Called the Customer Service and told them that the Bracket Broke in pieces and let the Camera fly off and that i wanted to at least have it fixed under warranty.
The answer was that they do now Warranty these devices for accidents but only for Factory problems.
I Replied that the Camera was NEW and so was the Bracket that failed after about 10 minutes of use, which i don't think that that matches with the Factory specs, especially when they commercialize that that bracket is supposed to hold the Camera even mounted standing up on the side of the Helmet... well in here it was flat mounted and it failed without having been solicited that much.
The Customer Service guy shipped me all the parts needed at his cost, he also e-mailed to me the instructions to mount the various parts which where: 2 Railings for the Camera, New Lens Ring and New Lenses even if they were intact, new back door with new LED Glasses and the Battery PIN, a new Bracket Mount to substitute the broken one.
Then i got a phone call from the Customer Support Guy which he said that he spoke with his Manager and he authorized to Refurbish the Camera under Warranty, so i mailed to Camera to Twenty20.
Meanwhile i received the Package with all the parts, and they told me that i could have kept them.
After few days they Sent me and Email stating that my Camera was one of the worse that they have ever seen after one that fell off the helmet of a Skydiving guy and one that was involved in an Airplane Crash, they were amazed by the fact that the Camera Recorded Videos perfectly and how well the casing resisted (it was all scratched, but not deformed) anyway they have Replaced all the parts that were Replaceable.
Today i got my Camera Back, it looks like New.
I AM TOTALLY SATISFIED WITH THE CUSTOMER SERVICE especially considering that this device was supposedly out of warranty.
The Camera is Super Strong, amazingly Tough, i feel confident to say that it is indestructible, unfortunately i can't say the same for the Bracket that holds it.
I suggest everybody to use some kind of safety wiring system to prevent losing the camera, other than that, this is a great device, it records great quality videos, the Audio it is not the best, but for me this is a great device that i would raccomand to everybody.
BEST REGARDS
