Replay XD 1080
The Contour+ (Contour Plus) is Contour's newest top of the line helmet camera and maintains the same slim, lightweight (only 5.2 ounces) yet rugged case. Perfect for all kinds of action sports thanks to its versatile mounting options you get amazing HD video where ever you are. Now with a wider and faster lens and improved GPS you can now capture even more of the entire scene without creating a fisheye effect like some other cameras.
With an improved higher performance GPS receiver at 4Ghz. The Contour + along with the Contour GPS are the only helmet cameras with this feature that adds a whole new data dimension to your point of view videos. Capture your location, altitude and speed multiple times per second, store that data in the video and show it off via an interactive map and video player where you can start, pause and stop the action any time you want.
GPS is not the only refinement of the Contour+, think of it as the Contour GPS on steroids. A combination of improvements and subtle fine tuning all add up to a much enhanced overall user experience and the ability to take better quality video.
Among the changes and improvements over the GPS version include:
The Contour+ offers you multiple HD recording modes to give you maximum recording flexibility. With an improved 170 degree lens you can capture a wider scene than ever before. All you get is a full HD recording of your adventures without compromise.
Contour+ offers you the following HD options so you can choose whatever suits your needs.
The Contour + offers still image capture in addition to all of these HD modes. You can get photo stills timed at 3, 5, 10, 30 or 60 second intervals. Snap away in search of the perfect shot or make a time lapse video - without having to carry around a separate camera strictly for still photography!
With the Contour+ you get your choice four different frame rates. By selecting from either 30 or 60 frames per second or PAL formats in either 25fps or 50fps, you control the speed and quality of your HD recordings. More options mean more artistic ability to control your videos.
The Contour+ records GPS date, time, latitude, longitude, elevation, velocity, and heading at a frequency of 1, 2 or 4 times per second. At 4Ghz it is double the previous Contour GPS receiver.
Contour makes it easy for videographers to quickly adjust camera settings wirelessly! This innovative feature only available natively on the Contour+. With the built in bluetooth radio and free downloadable iphone app (soon for other smartphones) you can use the phone you already own into the largest and sharpest viewfinder of any action cam.
That's not all, you can also change the following camera controls on your phone:
Expert action videographers know all about using a wider lens to capture all the action and giving the viewer a more exciting immersive experience. The Contour+ improves on the previous camera's 135° bumping the lens angle up to 170° providing a much wider field of view. The lens is flush mounted with a front glass, making it less prone to collecting dirt and dust.
With a 270 degree rotating lens, the Contour+ will maintain leveled even if the camera is mounted upside down. The older front lens rotated only 192 degrees. Now you can mount the camera on any surface and then rotate the lens to ensure a level shot every time.
You can record up to 16 hours of continuous High Definition footage on the Contour+. This all-in-one wearable HD camcorder records onto an internal MicroSD memory card and can take up to a 32GB card. Never worry about missing the perfect moment again because you ran out of tape, or pulled a connection!
Again, the Contour+ is all about options. You can use the internal microphone to record your audio or if you want stereo sound quality use an external mic. Contour has wisely included a 2.5mm microphone jack (The camera comes with a cable with a 2.5mm plug on the camera end and a 3.5mm female jack on the end.) on the bottom of this videocam so you can plug in a larger outside microphone for optimal audio recording to go with your video.
Need to get some interesting angles for your videos? Get as creative as you want with your mounting techniques. The Contour plus can be mounted pretty much anywhere with the "slide and lock" TRail Mounts. Create memorable shots from your handlebars, goggles, helmet, vehicle...or wherever you want. Connections are quick and easy. Even better, using the Connect View with bluetooth, you can preview your shots on your mount.
Frustrated with the multitude tiny buttons of other helmet cameras? Contour + makes too many buttons unnecessary. Quick and easy access is what you need when you're hitting the trails hard. That is why the Contour+ camera has only one button. Simply slide the giant record switch forward to start recording and slide it back to stop. You don't even need to remove your glove. You can also have a silent mode, if the beeps are too distracting for you.
At only 5.2 ounces the Contour+ is one of the lightest HD helmet cams available. Encased in a water-resistant anodized aluminum body, the Contour+ can record in most weather conditions. Additionally, it is shock, vibration and impact resistant. No matter what the environment throws at you, dust, mud, wind, rain or snow, this camera always has your back - you have nothing to worry about, besides that steep drop up ahead.
No more bulky AA batteries. The Contour+ HD cam uses a small thin removable cell phone rechargeable battery pack that enables you to record for a solid four hours, without requiring a battery change. You can easily slip an extra battery in even the smallest of pockets.
The inclusion of an type C HDMI port on the Contour+ is a boon for pro filmmakers who want to stream the video output live to a monitor or computer for reviewing footage while recording or for playback.
You can:
Plug the Contour Plus directly into your HDMI HDTV or monitor immediately afterwards to review your wild sports antics. Pause, play, fast forward to the best parts.
Now you can both charge and output HDMI video at the same time. The improved back panel has pass through outlets for both USB and HDMI. Recharge via USB wall or car charger while recording. Use the HDMI out without opening the back panel for quick and easy access.
The OS wars are over, whatever your computer preference the included Storyteller software is easy to use and compatible with both platforms. After connecting your camera use the software to quickly and easily edit your video then upload them to your provided Contour.com account. Show off your slick moves and share your videos with all your friends in a community of likeminded action video fans.
