Some experiences have to be seen to be believed, but not every experience is suitable to having a camera in your hands. The ContourHD1080p is a wearable 1080p camera that you can strap to a helmet or just your bare head if you so desire. The camera uses MicroSD cards so there isn’t some cable attached to the camera to a memory unit. It’s a self-contained barrel shaped camera.
The Contour comes with video editing software so you can show off your adventures. VholdR knows that this camera will be in some different situations so it has a laser alignment setup so you can tell the camera that it is level. Plus, there’s a big record switch (no tiny buttons here) so you can hit record even if you are wearing gloves. The ContourHD1080p also has an aluminum body so it can handle some drops and it is also weather and dust resistant (note – it is not water or dust proof). The camera costs $329.99 and will be available mid-October 2009.
