        Comments about Contour ROAM HD Camcorder:

        I like this product a lot. A few things that are great:
        -Simple design. 1 switch simultaneously turns on and hits "record". The audible beep never leaves you guessing. Don't worry about removing your gloves, no need. Big plus.

        -Helmet Mount is really simple. Again, slide on and off without removing helmet or gloves which is nice so you don't look like a d bag while you're in the lift line.

        -Seems durable and bombproof. Hard to say for sure until I take a big fall but so far so good.

        -wide angle recording grabs a lot in your line of sight. very nice.

        -comes with appropriate USB cable

        Here are a few cons:
        1) Watch for ice on your lense. Since there isn't a viewfinder, you can spend an entire day filming and not realize the lense is iced over (I've done it)

        2) Battery life could be longer. I think if you let it sit for a few days without using it the battery drains. A fresh charge gives plenty of runway (probably at least 2 hours of filming) but if you let it sit for a week and then take it up, it only seems to last for about 20-30 minutes.

        Overall it's fantastic. I haven't even used the GPS yet but plan to. Also still need to try out their software but it was easy enough to download and install.

        Comments about Contour ROAM HD Camcorder:

        I bought the the ContourHD after my friend received one as a gift. I saw the quality and reliability of the camera and the videos it made and decided I needed one. I was between the Contour and the GoPro and I had done my research on both, but in the end the Contour sold itself to me. I mean really, who wants a bulky sail catching air on top of their head haha. I've used the Contour for everything, shooting, wake boarding, tubing, shooting/hunting, skiing, and cliff jumping. With different accessories this camera can be used for anything. I've currently owned one for 2 and half years and its still workin strong. I would definitely buy another if this one were to die.

            Comments about Contour ROAM HD Camcorder:

            I mounted this to the side of my Pro Tec helmet and have been overall happy with it's performance. While it is the only helmet cam I've ever owned, I must say that it is incredibly easy to use. The big slider switch is a snap to operate with gloves on and the audio 'beep' is a nice indicator that the cam is/isn't recording.

            The cam also seems pretty sturdy and I don't worry about it breaking on me.

            Video quality is good but not superb and I haven't been very happy with Contours "Story Teller" software. It's easy to upload directly from the cam folder on your computer to YouTube which is what I do most.

            This sounds stupid, but opening the back of the cam to plug it in is not intuitive. You have to first slide the back up (towards the switch) and then it hinges open.
