Was "2::10..9" just YOUR fastest lap, or THE fastest lap?? Did another car post the fastest overall??! THANKS again for these visual insights, LOL ^_^

[michaelskeen]

@gT3iD Well, it wasn't an officially timed session, so there's no one else to compare to. However, the lap record for the class is 2:09.9 (set in cool February weather and probably on Hoosiers, not Toyos). The fastest HC1 time on that weekend in the heat was 2:14.

What was your lap time? Like that contourHD cam?

[michaelskeen]

@AxisVonOversteer 2:10.9. Loving the ContourHD because it works...somewhat unlike the GoPro.

@michaelskeen Can I ask what issues you had with the GoPro, been using mine for a while and so far not had any issues?

[michaelskeen]

@Reaver3582 It's pretty common that the files get corrupted and sometimes the camera won't turn off (without removing battery). Even when it works correctly, turning on and starting the recording isn't intuitive, so if others do it for you, it frequently isn't right. Also, the mounting system is very annoying. The Contour is much better on both of these and I've not heard any complaints about reliability.

@michaelskeen sounds like ive been lucky then! The countour does look impressive though doesnt seem to suffer from the jello effect @1080p like the GoPro does, might have to try one out!
