Why The Contour HD 1080p by VholdR Just Might Be The Best Damn Sports Cam On The Market
If you're looking for a rugged, reasonably priced helmet camera for your favorite extreme sportster, you could do far worse than the Contour HD 1080p by VholdR. In this article, I'll show you some of the pro's and con's of the Contour HD, and what you might be able to do with it! Nah, I'm sold! Where can I get it?
Let's Check This Puppy Out!
First, the pro's-
The Contour HD 1080p is a little tank of a camera, but weighs in at just 4.3 ounces. Its aluminum "body-armor" allows it to take a beating, too. VholdR has a patent-pending, slide-and-lock mounting system that will allow you to mount it where you want. With the 1080p model, you have a number of recording options as well, two at 720p, one at 960p, and the highest setting giving you a whopping 1080p for full HD recording. It's also easy to operate with a simple one-button control for 8 hours of recording. Uploading your video is simple too, and the Contour HD 1080p is compatible with both PC and Mac operating systems. Best of all is the inexpensive price tag. On Amazon, you can get one new for around 330 bucks.
Now The Con's
Wind noise is still an issue with the 1080p. Its built in microphone begins to produce a lot of wind noise at high speeds, but the fact is, all sports cams share that disability. Also, if you're uploading HD video to an older PC or Mac, expect some choppiness. That's not the camera's fault, but you still need to know and be prepared. If you purchase the Contour HD 1080p, really think about getting the mount accessory. You DON'T absolutely have to have it, but it will expand your mounting options. So, Is It Worth It?
All in all, I'd have to say the Contour HD 1080p helmet camera is a pretty sweet little performer. With the wide angle view set at 135 degrees, your sports video isn't going to have tunnel vision and the price isn't going to break the bank.
