Pre-review

Two issues that I have notice before any actual on mountain usage:
1) Fish eye effect in every mode but completely 1080p. Based on that alone, I am considering returning it.
2) Camera came with an incomplete goggle mount. Only one baseplate is included - and it was attached to the helmet mount. Goggle mount is empty.

While these issues are unacceptable, I'll give more info after I actually use it on the mountain.

Nate. The base plate is removable. Attach the camera and give a firm pull, to remove it from the helmet mount.. Then you insert/clip it into the goggle mount.

Whats the cam to mount fit like with the Vhold 1080p. Have read

Whats the cam to mount fit like with the Vhold 1080p.

Have read there's alot of vibration/movement when attached to some mounts.

Looking to get a cam for dirtbike racing/riding.

Either the VholdR1080p or the POV 1.5. Wonder when the POV HD1080p cam will come out. Will it be compatable with the POV 1.5 equipment ???

Anyone ......

Well Worth It

By:
January 29, 2010

Just uploaded my first video that I took with this while snowboarding and they are great. Great quality (I got the 1080p version), a little shaky at times but that I think had more to do with what I was doing and how tight I had my goggles that it was connected to. Uploading video is easy and they can be played with quicktime. The easy edit software that you can download will only work with the lower quality videos so you would have to find another video editor. Very light, hardly noticed I was wearing it. Battery life isn't great and the 2GB memory card that comes with it doesn't hold much video so you'll probably want to buy an extra battery and bigger memory card. You'll also need a pretty good computer if you go with the full 1080p model as the video files are pretty big. Definitely worth the money though, can't wait to use it again.

Write your question here... Can you attach music to the sound

Write your question here... Can you attach music to the sound file? Do you have to have a new computer to view the video ?

to be more specific - yes you can attach music to it, either using the included software or your preferred video editor. As for the latter question, it's hard to say. it is a 1080p mp4 file that we're talking about, so it will take a decent chunk of power. If you have a fairly powerful older computer with a decent video card, you probably can view it.

Love this camera. Super easy to use, images are awesome. Use iMovie 09, best way to do easy editing. The only small issue is that the back sometimes pops open when disengaging the record mechanism. Overall though, phenomenal camera for the price.

awesome camera. So easy to use, looks good and is low profile, and the video is ridiculously crisp and smooth. Love it, ready for more snow use...

What is the weatherproof rating of this video recorder? It advertises

What is the weatherproof rating of this video recorder? It advertises as being usable on goggles and helmets but doesn't mention anything how waterproofness, shock resistance, etc. Any info is greatly appreciated.

It is Water resistant, i.e. - enough to keep moisture out when skiing or snowboarding and light rain but not submersible... My friend has the 720P Version of this camera and it has made it through a few Mud Holes and rain storms on ATV.... I am ordering the 1080P version to replace my old helmet camera... It video is Quality!!! But you should prob have a newer machine to view and edit...

Waterproof cases for the ContourHD and ContourHD 1080p are on the way - they're perfect for taking the ContourHD out wakeboarding, kayaking, all that good stuff. They will be available in about 10 days.

I would be getting a waterproof case, just to make sure. Check the accessories.

He means the IP rating for the level of waterproofness, etc.

I looked up the manufacturer's site and it is pretty poor on tech specs. Even the manual (http://vholdr.com/support/files/Contourhd_Usermanual.pdf) doesn't provide much. I suggest emailing the manufacturer at the support page: http://www.vholdr.com/support/contact

good stuff!

the image quality is pretty impressive for such a light weight camera. I used to have the Oregon Scientific one, and so far I like this way better. Gotta love the rechargeable battery, the mounts are nice and stable, and you can actually manually adjust some of the settings. (though that has to be done ahead of time on your computer.) The giant record button and laser sights make it really easy to use even though you can't see it. A great little toy over all!

Awsome Camera

By:

Easy to use, takes very good video and affordable. I've used it in bad weather (70 mph winds and snow), with no problems and it has been hit a few times by various items most notably rocks, poles and tree branches... Very good build quality. I'm stoked on it.

Great camera. compact and super easy to use. great quality picture and sound. captures awesome moments when your boarding down a hard black piste in Switzerland or through the backwoods in western NY. My laptop is a bit older the the video plays choppy but a newer machine with HD capabilities makes for a sweet show.
