I feel the gopro 2 is the better all around camera as the capture features but the contour has better fun features. Out of the 2 which is your favorite?

@mrmidnight32 oohh.. thats a hard one.. I like how strong the GoPro is, but i love the shape of the Contour. I cant decide, you see I get to play with both of them and when I'm out on a shoot I alway have both. If i am helmet mounting.. it's the Contour. If I am Chest mounting it's the GoPro, they are both such reliable cameras now that both produce amazing image.. I really can pick one over the other. It all depends on what feature are most important to you.

Im a paintball player that really needs a helmet cam! I cant decide on if I should get the GoPro Hero 2 or the Contour Roam. The camera is going to have plenty of abuse. I like that the Contour has a app to view the camera on a smart phone but I like that the GoPro has a head strap the goes on the forhead unlike how the contour head strap goes to the side.

Please Help! Thank you

@helipad14399 If you want low pro, then the contour will be closer to your head. You can mount it on the top of your head. Lay it flat on the top of you helmet and rotate the lens. If your paint balling i would think you would want the camera as close to your head as possible. On the other hand maybe you want a square target for your opposing team to try and snipe while engaging them? haha, i would rock out the contour if I were you for this particular sport.

i own a GoPro HD Hero and i´m very satisfied. highly recomended for speedjunkies like myself :D

@mrmidnight32 I've used both, primarily for auto cross. I like the mounts and adjustability of the Contour plus the bluetooth preview is awesome. The GoPro captures a slightly better image but the Contour is very adjustable from phone app or computer. The GoPro captured better engine and exhaust sounds, The Contour had lots of wind noise depending on the mounting location.

Overall I choose Contour and currently use 1 Contour+ and 1 ContourROAM

Vancouver BC, so beautiful!

[mrmidnight32]

@PointOfViewCameras What about for my applications. Im looking to strap on my moto/helmet and car for track days surf board and take snowboarding. One would be a better choice for all around than the other or still both still hard to choose.

@REDCAMCREWproduction Thanks for the Help! I already bought the Hero 2 and love it!

Cool vid! I've got a Hero HD, and seem to have a hard time getting the clarity that you're getting when uploading to youtube. What resolution are you shooting, what editing program are you using and how exactly are you rendering your videos? (Settings, format, etc...)

Thanks!

@helipad14399: I recommend getting the contour roam model 1600. It can take allot of damage and if you want you can get a cover for it so the paintballs won't get on it, and the cover makes the camera waterproof. But the gopro is still good but i would go for the contour!

the contour appears to have better (more natural) natural light levels. Why does every person with a GoPro strapped to their head look like a douchebag?

AND the contour+ has GPS, AND you can use your iPhone/Droid as a VIEWFINDER and change settings on it!!
