Full HD
Great shots
Easy to use
The VContour is not simply able to shoot film in impressive Full HD 1920 x 1080p at 30 frames per second
But also a range of other formats so that footage can be tailored to specific needs. Want slo-mo? Switch to 720p at 60 fps and the results are dream-...
The editors didn't like
No viewfinder
Need to sort settings on PC
Sadly
There's no Viewfinder on the VContour
Which is a bit of a drag when framing shots.Also
To tweak all your shooting configs
The cam needs to be connected via USB to your Mac or PC. Not ideal if you're in the great outdoors.
The ContourHD has made great improvements in video resolution (As of writing a new 1080p model has been released) but unfortunately has failed to really take audio along for the ride. Sure, the audio gain adjustment is a good start but ultimately is...

The unit is not waterproof or submersible. Low-light performance is poor.

This helmet cam is great for shooting mountain bike or skateboarding shenanigans, especially if you can steady the camera a bit – a snug helmet mount will work better than the handlebars. Although some sort of steadying device would help a lot, sinc...
Stunning image quality. Record/Stop slider switch is easy to operate, even with gloves on. Accepts up to 16 GB of microSD storage, and a 2gig card is included. Laserassisted aiming. Hell, yeah.
With no LCD, you cant review what youve shot until you jack into a computer—a problem for long trips. Video quality suffers noticeably in low light. At speeds above 30 mph, the microphone listens only to the wind.
Abstract: Here it is, action sport stars, some real POV footage taken with the VholdR ContourHD instead of the garbage office tour I took earlier in the week. Turn down the volume on your speakers! I’ve included the video that’s currently live on VholdR’s site ...
