Reviews of the VholdR ContourHD wearable camcorder
-
CNET Review
The Good: The ContourHD records high-definition video at 720p. Laser sights and a rotating lens help to aim the camera while mounted without the need for a viewfinder. Simple, one-handed operation and the included 2GB microSD card and rechargeable battery make this one of the most easy-to-use helmet cams we've tested.
The Bad: The unit is not waterproof or submersible. Low-light performance is poor.
The Bottom Line: While not as rugged as its competition, the ContourHD features video quality and user-friendliness that is far better than any other helmet cam that we've tested.
