Features of the ContourHD Helmet Camera by VholdR

Are you thinking about buying a helmet camera to shoot some videos while you are out doing your thing? Check out these fantastic features:

• Full HD recording (1080p) – 1920×1080 pixels – 30fps for super smooth and crisp videos
• 5 Megapixel sensor
• Internal microphone
• Removable Lithium-Ion battery; records up to 4 hours before charging is needed
• Aluminum and fiberglass water resistant body

Did you read that last one correctly? Water resistant body. That means you can shoot in a variety of environments without worrying about your new toy getting killed by some rain or the splash of a puddle. That is some seriously cool technology.

135 degrees
The camera captures 135 degrees in front of you so, unlike some other helmet cameras, you are going to be showing people pretty much everything that you see. That is very important for most video camera fans, especially if you want to upload videos to the internet and Youtube where quality and widescreen are now very important to viewers.

Super tiny and lightweight
The last thing you want on your head is a heavy camera. Don’t worry about it here. This video camera fits in the palm of your hand and weighs close to zero. Literally, you wouldn’t feel this camera on your head and as such your neck will be protected.

Mounting on lots of things
The helmet camera comes with its own mounting technology that will allow you to mount it onto goggles, helmets, etc. Some people were worried that the camera would slide off during a bike ride but it is so secure that the worries vanishes after a few seconds. It is a great slide and lock system that keeps your new camcorder very tightly attached.

Up to 8 hours of footage
Another feature that blows us away is that you can capture up to 8 hours of footage on this tiny little camera and then upload it to PC or Mac in just a flash. It works on all Windows versions (including 7) so you don’t have to worry about any compatibility issues when trying to share the videos on Facebook or Youtube.
