Just needs to be a wider angle lens.

The GoPro is cheaper and not as hi res, but at least you can see the whole world.
The ContourHD is great 720p picture quality, you just seem to be looking at your feet all day long.

A lot better than I thought it would be. Thanks Robb!

I have a couple of shots from the dirt jumps that I am working on where I held the cam in my hand and I also have a sequence that is going to be posted on robbsutton.com that is from my flight in a Cessna yesterday.

I am going to use the vented helmet mount and surface mount (on the full face) to get rid of the twitching. The goggle mount just isn’t secure enough for the gardens.

The comparative will be interesting. I am just waiting on the other two to get back from a Tulsa, OK road race.

I will end up reviewing more tech based…non cycling specific…products on robbsutton.com.

nice video & nice single-track
can you please include a video shot when not mounted on the helmet. One of the things I’m thinking about is using it as a regular camera. It looks like it has very good shooting quality and I would like to see it the results while shooting riding friends from the side.

I knew I was going to be getting one of these awesome little cams the second I read that they were being made. Not bad for a first ride. I’m definitely looking forward to seeing more good stuff!

The circular twitching is interesting, I hadn’t considered that as a possibility and thought a helmet mount would be ideal. But maybe that’s because I’ve only done handlebar mounted video so far?

Either way, the new cam is bitchin!
