Hands-free helmet cameras are a common sight on slopes and trails these days, but few can match the design and simplicity, plus resolution of the Contour HD camera, now available with three full HD modes (1080p/960p/720p) capture.
The Contour HD revolutionized the way people shoot and share video by creating the first wearable HD video camera. Its secret is the low profile design mated to the patented TRail™ system that makes it easy to slide and lock to your body, helmet, equipment, or vehicle.
The camera, at only 142 grams, 5.1 ounces, is one of the smallest and lightest hands-free video camera in the world, allowing it to virtually disappear whilst wearing it. The anodised aluminum body is built tough to take your outdoor abuse, and is rated water resistant to 1 meter (up to 30 minutes) so you won’t short circuit your adventure.
Easy to operate and use. It’s as simple as sliding a single oversized switch forward to start and backwards to stop, even with a pair of gloves on. The laser level lines up your shot for perfect angles.
Replay your movies when you’re back at your computer. Contour supply a basic editing application which lets you import clips - Windows and Mac compatible - then top-and-tail them before uploading to Contour’s online community.
