GPS is all the rage with video recording these days - The good folks at Contour have embraced it, presenting all you mt. bikers, skiers, and general lovers of action video with the Contour GPS HD Helmet Camera. With the Contour GPS you'll get GPS tracking capabilities and stunning 1920 x 1080p HD video. And of course, you'll also get the security of Contour's patented TRail system.

Let's take a closer look at the GPS tracking function, shall we? The camera's built-in GPS receiver tracks your exact location numerous times each second - it also tracks your speed and elevation!

The Contour GPS captures the aforementioned 1920 x 1080/30p HD video. The camera also gives you the option to record video in a number of other modes, including: Tall HD 960p for when a taller image would work better, Action HD 720p for fast action, and Contour 720p for those times when you're running low on space but you need to get that last great moment of the day.
Aside from beautiful high definition capture, the Contour GPS also captures 5MP digital stills - allowing you to keep the dedicated still cam at home. Regardless of how you choose to capture though, the cam records to microSD cards up to 32GB. There's even a 2GB microSD card included with the camera to get you started shooting from day! Awesome, right?
If you're a lover of all things action and outdoors, with a special hankering to tag, track, and share your exploits, the Contour GPS was designed with you in mind.

Several different camera settings help you get the shot that best fits your activity. Choose between 3 resolutions, 2 frame rates, or a still photo mode
- Full HD 1080p (1920 x1080 @ 30fps) to capture those awesome moments in awesome HD resolution
- Tall HD 960p (1280 x 960 @ 30fps) for those sports like surfing that are better suited to a taller image
- Action HD 720p (1280 x 720 @ 60fps) when frame rate is more important than resolution. The perfect setting to capture the fastest action. It reduces blur and rolling shutter effect
