Contour HD High Definition Camera Reviews

Sifting through the various reviews of the ContourHD 720p HD Action Camera, we found that most of the customers were very pleased with their purchase.  Here’s what customers are saying about their pov camera purchase.

The camera itself comes with a variety of mounting options, allowing you to mount it virtually anywhere you might want a camera. The included 2 GB microSD card allows you to require a good amount of video, and it can be upgraded up to 16 GB. The camera is built very well, and holds together under some very extreme conditions. The rotating lens will allow to capture any angle that you might want, and there’s no need to hook the camera to an external recorder.

The video in both SD and HD configurations provides a great viewing experience, and the video presents in a widescreen format allowing you to see everything that the rider or wearer would see from the perspective. The sound is another area the camera excels. One reviewer noted that even at 60 to 70 MPH, the wind was noticeable in the audio, but not overbearing. At a stop, they mention the sound quality is nothing short of impressive, especially when you realize that the recording was made by such a small piece of equipment.

We also found a few comparisons, and the overwhelming consensus was that, especially for the price point (around $250) the ContourHD was the action camera of choice. The only drawback was the lack of an external microphone, but even then the sound quality was good and the video was far superior to many other competitors.

Customers who bought the camera range from runners and mountain bike enthusiasts to motorsports enthusiasts and the majority of them are very happy with their purchases. The camera can easily be mounted almost anywhere, providing a variety of action camera options for any person looking to capture video from a moving point of view.
