Come on. This just looks like an ad for Gopro. I want to see a true comparison with someone talking on camera. BTW, Contours mounts are great. Tell us about the pros and cons of both cameras...or change the title of your video.
@mfinaly - I was just joking because of all the debates. IMO one is as good as the other. I needed a chest mount for a particular shoot so I bought a couple Gopros. If I was going to mount them on a helmet I would probably buy the Contour. Either one works as well as the other so my honest advice is pick the one that fits your needs as to how you mount them.
I find the fish eye distortion that goes with the wider GoPro FOV isn't worth it. I prefer the Contour HD1080p for that reason. (usually shoot in 1080, smaller resolutions change the FOV I think).
@eloctocs13 thanks, I was trying to decide which camera to go with and just happened to find a deal on a used Gopro and it fit my personal needs more than the Contour did. Camera is easy to use but tends to overexpose in and out of shadows. One plus is being able to change modes from 720p to 1080p without having to hook it up to a computer (or smart phone with the Contour GPS or Contour+) I needed something that would chest mount, was waterproof and I could change modes without external devices
