Contour, Inc ContourROAM 32 MB Camcorder - Black

I purchased this product to use during trips on my motorcycle but has also been used for many other things, pushbike riding, kids on skateborads etc. The best thing about this camera is it is very simple to use, is small and when it is mounted on a helmet is doesn't stand out too much. I have found the footage and sound quality to be excellent and the software used to get the videos onto the computer is also very simple. One of the downsides is that you need to plug it into a computer to make many of the changes to the settings but I have found once you get them right then there is no need to keep fiddling with it. One button record / Off is the best and it is easy to use with gloves on. It can also be mounted on either side of the helmet or on top because you can rotate the lense so the footage is always the right way up. I prefer this over the Go Pro mainly because of its simplicity, I just want to have it there ready to use when I need it and not to have to mess around with it too much, I have heard that the Go Pro footage is better and there are more things you can do with it (Editing & Accessories) but I have found that this camera is perfect for what I want to do with it.

Excellent Product. Has been easy and fun to use. The product battery life is good. I have used it for an entire day of skiing and had no problem. If you do have a problem just turn it off when not used and start it before your run. Even worked well in cold temperatures. Would recommend the product.

It has many good properties of action camera: full HD video support, good form, wide angle lens 170°.
But it has a lot of negatives: max 25fps, camera's mount made of fragile plastic and it is easy to break it, also there were only two mount iside the box.
It is middle quality camera with its advantages and disadvantages with other camera.

We purchased this as a review unit for our motocross review website mviewz.com

This was a great little camera. The rotating lens and included roating mount were great. The unit itself is beautiful brushed alloy. It has super simple operation with one huge on/off switch. The video is great - looks beautiful in 1080p with minimal rolling shutter jello.

While it was super easy to use with just on/off, it does require plugging into a computer to adjust any settings - so catch 22. It also has a sealed battery so you can't change it once one is flat or if the battery goes dodgy. For those reasons 'ease of use & battery' suffered as there is not other category in this review layout.

We put it against the Gopro and Drift units to see what the best. To find out you'll have to look us up.

Good camera, good lifts, the sound could be louder, the instruction manual is very sparse. Overall pleased with purchase
