Contour GPS records hands free 1080p video, logs location data

While audio quality leaves a little to be desired and there are limited ways to view GPS data, the camera shoots good video for its size and could be a nice compliment to extreme sports enthuiasts and outdoorsy types.

@OODATHORT power button especially ticked me off really poor design but to be fair video quality is very good

I purchased a Contour gps 4 months ago, It has been replaced 3 times by Contour and still wont work. Contour refuse refund or upgrade. POOR PRODUCT POOR AFTERSALES SERVICE. DO NOT BUY.

Try a thin piece of soft sponge over the mic opening...solved my problem.

You can download the gps info from the tools option in storyteller..ONLY while playing back the video.

I get 2h 20 mins with the standard battery and 15 mins per gig on full HD. rgds
