gopro wins i see no difference in quality but the gopros sound is remarkable and the contour is horride

[streamdvd]

I think the go pro has a very neutral picture but the Contour is more detailed

[MattWayman]

contour does not have "disposable" casings like the gopro. the gopro has a wider/larger capture than the contour. the contour does not stabilize the image as well as the gopro in my experiences. gopro is definitely the winner for me.

Is anyone else having problems viewing this in 1080P? It feels like 0.5fps.

@awesomeness1367 Although you can get the ContourHD for $150 dollars cheaper than the GoPro on Amazon.

@Monsterenergy8771 Go pro. It comes with a waterproof case right out of the box. It's more durable for dirtbiking if you ever crash and hit it hard. For dirtbiking and underwater, Go Pro is the best choice.

i mean seriously the gopro is the first in of it's kind. Personally i like it better because of that. Don't be hating on other cameras, just keep it to yourselves. *What other helmet camera has its own commercials?*

i think the countour"s quality is better but the sound does suck but for what i am using it for music will be added so i dont care about sound

[sk863cuz]

the contour sounds like a steaming tea pot haha

[exotime]

the gopro has a retarded form factor. its like having a side-wise brick strapped to your head - this video is completely over-compressed and full of artifacts.

@Monsterenergy8771 get the gopro definatly if u get the contour you probly wouldnt be able to even hear your bike. and the gopro is an all around better camera
