Contour Contour HD Waterproof Camcorder Case - 2009 BCS

The Contour Camera waterproof case is boss! It is easy to use with good on/off and record/stop recording buttons. I have used it during whitewater rafting adventures as well as during a water balloon fight and swimming party at a friend of my young son's birthday party. The Contour camera is so easy to use that my son has shot video with it! The screen has not shown any signs of scratching and cleans easily. The case opens and closes easily and securely. I have not had any water penetrate the case. I have been using the case all the time that I am shooting outdoors to keep dirt and grit out of the camera. The picture does not show any signs of degradation with the case on as the window is clear!

Bottom line...a great waterproof case for an amazing camera!

This waterproof case does what it is designed to do, protect your camera from the elements or underwater use. The case seals tight and your mount set-up is the same on the case as the camera. The record switch is a magnet and the switch does not actually move. There is also a ON/OFF button in the back of the case for controlling your camera.

One huge benefit that isn't usually discussed is wind noise. This unit elimates wind noise for use on the bike or motorcycle.

Does exactly what it is supposed to do. Used it while jetskiing over the summer, and as a little handheld camera while at the beach with friends. The case adds a little bulk & weight so it makes it cumbersome for goggle mounting. Still trying to figure out a good stable solution for that because my main intention was to use it head mounted for watersports and paintball. Unless you do a lot of faceplanting, you don't really need to bother using the waterproof case for skiing/snowboarding... My friend and I used his camera for snowboarding last season without this case and had no issues at all.

Oh, and maybe I'm just dumb, but at first I thought the case wasn't compatible because I thought the magnet on the switch would mechanically move the switch on the camera as well.

So when you put the camera in the case, be sure its not on record. When ready to record slide the orange switch, and though the switch on the camera doesn't move, don't worry, it has been triggered within the camera to begin recording.
