Contour ContourHD 1080p Full HD Helmet Camera review


The good folks at Contour bring us a successor to the ContourHD, named the ContourHD 1080p Full HD Helmet Camera. That's right - a full 1920 x 1080p camcorder for recording all your adventures on land, in the air, on the side of a mountain.... pretty much wherever you feel the need to explore. The ContourHD 1080p not only records in 1080p, but also offers up 4 other resolution choices depending on your needs: 1280 x 960p at 30fps, 1280 x 720p at 60fps, 1280 x 720p at 30fps, and standard definition 848 x 480 at 60fps. Record whatever your heart desires with this extremely lightweight and easy to use 5MP camcorder.
If your computer is more than a couple of years old then you will be better off choosing the original ContourHD 720p camera which still gives superb video quality and is more than adequate for the average user.
Because of the file sizes that are created when recording 1080p video you might want to consider purchasing a higher capacity memory card. The 2gb card supplied with the ContourHD 1080p will only hold 1/2 an hour at it's highest quality setting.
