I am glad you guys are giving GoPro some competition, but so far GoPro really has the edge; especially now that the 3D GoPro has hit. But this VOD was good regardless, a few more actual POV shots would be better. Any camera can get outside the action but what makes these cameras special is that you can get in the action.

Contour (Apr 24, 2011 at 11:05)

Thanks Sheeshkah. We get a lot of mixed feedback on more POV vs. less POV so we try to mix it up a bit. What we're really trying to show is what the camera can do, whether you use it for POV or as a lone camera doing lots of different angles and shots.

SHEESHKAH (May 1, 2011 at 11:59)

I personally say more POV. And thank you for actually replying, it is refreshing.

Contour (Apr 17, 2011 at 18:24)

Hey Jay- The GPS camera will take photos too!

jay5129 (Apr 18, 2011 at 5:25)

fatlarry (Apr 18, 2011 at 9:26)

Pretty sure the fist pump is Kyle Jameson.

Contour (Apr 18, 2011 at 10:11)

I'm pretty sure the fist pump is Paul B.

Seems way better quality than the video posted of Cam Zink last week, could that be related to recording settings etc. Good contrast, good quality, no stuttery, washy looking video. Looking way better Contour.

FLY1NGF1SH (Apr 18, 2011 at 10:14)

that's because they are using different cameras for most of the video. if you look at the POV stuff, it's quality isn't as good as the rest of it. not to say the quality isn't still good, it's just that most of the video isn't filmed with the contour cameras.

Contour (Apr 18, 2011 at 10:15)

Actually- this video is pretty much all Contour. We used a jib w/ a Contour mounted for almost every single shot. There are a couple shots that are pointing back at the drop in that were shot from a long lens, but everything is is all Contour.

Daire (Apr 18, 2011 at 10:19)

ya it really varies from video to video. If you go watch the Rampage footage from Contour its better looking than most GoPro footage ive seen. Then some videos look terrible like Zinks. Must be down to camera set-up.

FLY1NGF1SH (Apr 18, 2011 at 10:20)

yeah its the jib that threw me off. still sick footage

jdavidson (Apr 17, 2011 at 19:35)

can they be mounted on top of the helmet?

Contour (Apr 17, 2011 at 20:16)

Yep. You can put them pretty much anywhere you want.

jdavidson (Apr 17, 2011 at 23:59)

oh nice. i've just always wondered why everyone rocked them on the sides of their helmet!

tom-cuthbert (Apr 18, 2011 at 0:49)

Because it gives eye-level view, and you can see your cockpit as well as the trail ahead. Looks far better.

austens (Apr 18, 2011 at 10:55)
