I found the mount plate fits firmly on the top of my Bell Sweep helmet. There are two straps off to the sides which go through the vents and are then clinched tight. Installation of the helmet mount was pretty straight forward. I found it pretty easy to work out the basics of operation using the Product Information Guide and I had the camera charged and all ready to go within two hours from getting it out of the box.

The record status indicator is green when the camcorder is ready red when it is recording and flashing when the memory is full or corrupt. The memory status and battery status lights change colour along with their status condition: All three of these lights are visible with the back cover closed. In terms of indicators, there is a charge indicator light (red for charging, off to indicate charged), battery status light, memory status light and a record status light. Access to the cable is via the rear cover of the camera. Off the bike so to speak the battery charging and transferring of the videos (*.mov format) is done by a USB 2 cable. Other than setting up the horizontal angle of the lens and choosing between high or low resolution there is nothing else to play with on the camera. The switch is mounted on top of the camera and appears to be easily operated. Once turned on it is a simple matter of sliding the large record switch forward to record and back to stop recording. This beeps and turns on the indictor lights to indicate all is good. The camera is turned on and off (there is an auto time out) via a soft touch switch on the back of the body. The camcorder itself is pretty straight forward with minimal operator options on it.

In addition you can configure the bitrate, lighting settings and microphone volume via the software (not on the camera in the field).įor the road cyclist you don’t get much in the box meaning that you do need to consider what additional mounts you require. The other significant feature of the camcorder is two laser lights which allow for alignment of the lens horizontally. Again there is a discrepancy in the claimed recharge time with the Product Information Guide suggesting four hours and the Contour website three hours. The battery is re-charged via a USB cable connected to a computer or a separate charger can be brought. The claimed recording time is two to three hours (battery life). The Contour website suggests up to 32 GB microSD cards can be used where as the Product Information Guide that comes with the camera indicates a maximum of 16 GB. The recording time is not the only conflicting specification.
The claimed recording time at Full HD is 15 minutes per GB according to the Easy Edit software application and 30 minutes per GB on the Contour website. My recorded weight is 125 grams for the camera with the battery fitted. The claimed weight is 116 grams and it reportedly measures 95 mm x 53 mm x 34 mm. These default settings can be set to other resolutions via the software installed on your computer. The defaults modes selectable on the camera are Full HD (H on the resolution switch) and Tall HD (L on the resolution switch).

The Contour HD 1080P is a wearable camcorder which has a 135°wide-angle lens that according to Contour “ delivers a true high quality image that captures all the action with minimal distortion or fish eye. This review reflects my usage of the Contour HD over a four month period, aka the approach.
I got a 32 GB card from Warcom for $90 so my total cost for the unit is $451.00. As the camera only comes with a 2 GB microSD card and I didn’t have a larger one I also had to purchase a card.
I purchased the Contour HD 1080 camcorder model 1300 along with a vented helmet mount in October 2010 from JensonUSA for a landed cost of AU$361. By Aushiker on 8 November 2010 in Equipment
