Contour Countour+ HD Overview

Contour's Contour+2 HD Action Camcorder offers high-definition video and 5-megapixel photo capture in a versatile, lipstick tube design that can be mounted nearly anywhere with a range of separately available mounting hardware. The camera simply powers on and begins recording at the slide of an On/Record switch, which is lockable to prevent accidental shut-offs. The flush lens can be rotated 270-degrees so that you can mount the camera in horizontally tilted angles and still get level shots. Moreover, a laser is built-in right above the lens to help you pin-point the correct shooting angle. The camera also captures audio via an internal mic, plus there is a 3.5mm mic port on the bottom. All capture and output settings are selectable in a free-download management software available on Contour's website or using the mobile app.

The integrated lens features a 170° ultra-wide angle that will provide you with an expansive view. Video can be captured in 1080p, 960p, or 720p HD resolutions. Still photos are captured at 5 megapixels (2592 x 1944) in intervals of 1, 3, 5, 10, 30, or 60 seconds. To choose between video or photo recording, you just have to select the desired mode in the management software. All data is recorded to microSD cards up to 32GB in capacity.

A 196' underwater housing is included, further backing up the camera's boast as a take-anywhere option. A USB cable is included for charging and file transfer, and an HDMI cable is included so you can plug the camera in and enjoy your adventures once you get home. The camera records to legacy microSD as well as microSDHC memory cards, and will accept capacities up to 32GB. A 1/4"-20 tripod socket lets you attach the camera to a plethora of tripods, suction cups, and other third-party mounting hardware - not to mention the range of dedicated accessories Contour offers.

270-Degree Rotating Lens
The lens can be manually rotated to correct if the camera is mounted in such a way the horizon isn't level. A total of 270-degrees of rotation is possible
Six Element Glass Lens with 170-Degree FOV
The ultra-wide lens design helps add to the POV feel of footage. Plus ensures you capture as much of the action happening in front of the lens as possible

Note: The effective angle of view varies depending on the resolution setting
Laser Alignment
Projects a laser from an emitter above the lens as a guide when composing your shot - helping ensure it is horizontally level. You can rotate the lens to make any corrections if the camera itself can't be moved

Live Streaming

Instant On-Record Switch

question

Is it easy to use as a hand held if I'm not on a bike or climbing, etc?
Asked by: stephen f.
I never tried it. But, generally saying, i would not recommend this camera, if you are going to use it as your helmet camera. Reasons:1. Battery life sucks even when you do not setup best video quality.2. There is no cyclic recording. I must each dsy or to reformat the nemory card.
