Pros

This was the obvious next step in helmet cam technology and boy does it look nice. The improved 1080p video at a smooth 30 frames per second will please even the most demanding videophiles, as will the amazing color rendition, excellent exposure, and great contrast. The variety of video modes provided allows the consumer to capture video at frame sizes and rates to fit their needs. The 720p (1280 x 720) @ 60 fps is an absolute dream to watch when played back in slow motion! It features four HD settings (1080p, 960p, and two at 720p) with two frame rates (30fps and 60fps) and four configurable settings (metering, contrast, exposure, and microphone sensitivity). But most importantly, the ContourHD software will share your adventures in “Lifelike” 1080p video to VholdR.com.

The all new image censor and video processing chipset focuses on motion and color so that the watcher has a like-like experience during viewing. The resulting HD footage is a true pleasure to watch whether it’s in it’s native video state – or viewed online at VholdR.com. Another new addition to the mix is the abiltity to adjust Contrast levels, Light Metering, Exposure and Microphone Sensitivity. The settings can be easily adjusted when the ContourHD 1080p is connected to your PC or MAC via the USB cable using the included Easy Edit software. In addition to powerful video settings and enhanced color saturation, the ContourHD1080p is also equipped with a 135-degree fisheye lens to record the entire scene without over-distorting the video. The overall video quality in the ContourHD 1080p has AGAIN improved significantly.

So that users have a wealth of video to choose from, the ContourHD has an internal microSD memory card that easily stores up to eight hours of HD footage and is compatible with up to 16GB memory cards. The ContourHD1080p also features an upgraded microphone that records all of the action, without the wind noise due to its ability to adjust the microphone sensitivity.

VholdR not only designed the ContourHD1080p to capture exceptional quality video, they also designed the camcorder for ease of use. The camera features a single, oversized record button, which you can slide forward to begin recording and slide back to stop. A rotating 192-degree lens and two lasers help users accurately align shots. Users simply rotate the lens until the lasers are lined up horizontally.

Capture HD video anywhere and from any angle with this versatile camcorder. The ContourHD1080p is compatible with VholdR’s TRail^TM Mounts, which provide a variety of options, including mounts for goggles, handlebars, helmets, and vehicles. Included with the camera are the helmet mount and goggle strap mount. The helmet mount is super versatile and can be attached to most helmets and hard surfaces. The goggle strap mount provides cool point of view and is very convienent to use.

With all of these features, users might expect a delicate or cumbersome camcorder. However, the revolutionary Contour HD is light (4oz, 116g), compact, and durable. The camcorder’s water-resistant body is made of anodized aluminum and rigorously tested to withstand dirt, dust, mud, and snow. Additionally, the ContourHD1080p is impact, shock, and vibration resistant, and the all-in-one design of the Contour HD means that users don’t have to fumble with multiple wires.

The audio has also been greatly improved on this model. Wind noise is minimal and you can hear most ambient sounds. For those of you ninjas hoping to record without making a sound, you’re in luck. If you start the camera up with the switch set to record, there will be no beeps confirming power up, recording, stopping etc.

Another cool upgrade from the VholdR is the car charger. This handy little device can charge your ContourHD1080p off of any 12 volt power source while recording. Paired with an 8 or 16 GB card, you could record some serious footage!

The ContourHD1080p makes it as easy to share videos as it does to record them. Thanks to VholdR’s Easy Edit^TM software (PC and Mac compatible) users can easily edit, upload, and share their videos with friends, family, and the world.

Cons
The VholdR Contour HD wearable camcorder is equipped with numerous features and upgrades to ensure that outdoor enthusiasts and adventure-seekers capture the best footage in HD. However, there are some limitations. As with most camcorders, battery life is an issue; the ContourHD1080p is no exception. The largercamcorder features a rechargeable lithium ion battery and testing revealed that the Contour HD only had approximately two hours of battery life. To avoid missing any shot, backup batteries are a great idea.

While the ability to capture 60 frames per second is exciting, it isn’t particularly useful for distributing video footage because YouTube and DVDs do not support 60 frames per second. VholdR’s video sharing portal will support 60 frames per second. For those not using of VholdR’s sharing portal, a potential solution is to stretch out sections of the video to 30 frames per second resulting in super smooth slow mo.

A quick start guide is included with the ContourHD1080p.

Pros

The GoPro Helmet HERO Wide camera’s compact, cable-free design encourages new filming opportunities through creative mounting locations that are unhindered by proximity to the user, such as the stern of a 15-foot sea kayak, the nose of a long-board surfboard, the wheel well of a stock car, or the front fender of a motorcross bike. Waterproof to 100 feet, the Helmet HERO Wide can even scuba dive.

The GoPro Helmet HERO Wide camera provides a wearable video system that allows users to capture the most sought-after shots, regardless of location.

Mounting Options

The Helmet HERO Wide comes impressively equipped with multiple hardware mounting options:

1. Headband mount: No bulkier or heavier than a high-powered headlamp, this strap configuration keeps the camera firmly attached to the user’s forehead for more accurate video capture. The sturdy headband mount allows users to quickly and easily remove the unit to check its status, change menu options, or store it for later use. The mount can even be worn outside of some helmets, especially those designed to accept headlamps. Although it is not as dignified as a lipstick camera, the headband mount makes up in usability what it lacks in style.

2. Helmet vent-hole strap mount: For activities that warrant a helmet with air ventilation holes, this non-adhesive mount is an easy method for attaching the camera to helmet surfaces. Furthermore, it is easily transferrable to a different set of ventilation holes on the same helmet or to a different helmet entirely. It has the benefit of being an adhesive-less and easy way to attach the camera to the helmet surface, as well as being easily transferable to a different set of vent holes or to a different helmet. Using vent holes located in the front of the helmet has the advantage of keeping the camera low profile and safe from clothes lines, tree branches, and other yard dangers during the occasional wipeout. The vent-hole strap mount provides the least risk of the camera being ripped from the mount. The straps are solid, yet there is enough slippage and flex to absorb some impact when necessary.

3. Base mount with single pivot: This mount provides numerous camera mounting options courtesy of the well-built pivot mechanism, which ensures that your footage will be captured in the angle that you desire. After sticking the base to a smooth surface with the provided adhesive patches, sliding the quick release camera mount onto the base, and pivoting the camera to the desired field of view, simply tighten the knob (by hand or using the recessed screw head improved strength).

4. Base mount with double pivot: When a helmet isn’t the ideal mount to capture the best footage, the double pivot mount is useful for the side of a bike, car, four-wheeler, or similar places. The second pivot simply returns the camera to a horizontal position, while the camera’s menu settings give users the option to rotate images 180 degrees or 90 degrees.

In addition to these mounting options, users should also take advantage of other mounts from GoPro, including handlebar/seatpost, chest harness, roll bar, and surfboard mounts.

Usability

The Helmet HERO Wide scores high in overall usability. It has a simple one-page manual for quick reference or easy (partial) memorization. The two-button configuration is ideal for adjusting settings or using different modes, such as video, triple shot sequence, photo every five seconds (up to 700 photos on a 2 GB SD card), and self-timer photography, all of which are displayed on the unit’s compact LCD screen. A single camera cord is used as an A/V cable connector (NTSC and PAL), as well as a USB connector to a computer. Both Mac and Windows users can seamlessly upload and edit files. The open design of the camera and two-button configuration make it simple to record. Additionally, two different flashing LEDs display recording status on both sides of the camera.

The Case

The camera’s waterproof case (up to 100 feet) is one its most impressive features. Inside the case, the camera is durable enough to be placed on a keychain, attached to a backpack, or clipped to a climbing harness, making it easily accessible for capturing great footage. The 100-foot waterproof rating combined with the graceful movements of snorkeling or scuba diving make it ideal for underwater pictures or videos.

Super Small

Outside of its case, the Helmet HERO Wide is exceptionally small. In fact, the camera can fit easily inside a closed fist, yet it can hold approximtely an hour of video footage.

Cons

While the Helmet HERO Wide is a strong, versatile camera, there are some drawbacks that users should keep in mind. One drawback centers on the video quality, which is not adequate for producing high-quality professional videos. However, the quality is perfect for the Web or standard television viewing.

Another significant problem with the camera is its short battery life. During testing, the Helmet HERO Wide only provided about two hours of recording time using NiMH rechargeable batteries and three hours using lithium batteries. Alkaline batteries produced even shorter recording times.

Many users have also found the upside-down LCD screen cumbersome. It should be noted that the design was intended to benefit users viewing the screen while upside-down. The camera also does not include a video monitor for reviewing footage, thus footage can only be reviewed using a video monitor, such as a computer.

Angle reference marks on the camera would be a useful addition to the camera because it would allow users to switch angles for different applications.

The basic codec settings for the GoPro Helmet HERO Wide are as follows:

Video: MJPEG, 30 fps, saved as .AVI file

Audio: 8kHz, mono

Here are a few sample videos that have been uploaded and compressed through Vimeo and are intended to give you a feel for the ultra-wide field of view and overall video quality.

The GoPro Helmet HERO Wide has removable SD card storage for up to 2GB SD cards, which allows users to record up to 56 minutes of video or capture up to 700 photos.

The GoPro Helmet HERO Wide camera requires 2 AAA batteries. For best results, the manufacturer strongly recommends lithium batteries, which provide up to three hours of battery life. Using NiMH batteries, users can record up to two hours.

GoPro provides a one-year manufacturer’s warranty on the device. Returns are only accepted for defective or unopened packages.

Helmet Camera Central is here to assist with any issues that may arise with any products that have been purchased from us.

A software bundle is not available with the GoPro Helmet HERO Wide.

With the new wide angle lens and numerous mounting options, the GoPro Digital Helmet HERO Wide is designed to meet the needs of consumers searching for a quality camera at a great price.

The durable bomber case provides ample protection from the elements to ensure the longevity of the camera.

Helmet Camera Central recommends this unit to cost conscious consumers looking for a sturdy, reliable helmet camera for capturing events and posting them on the Web. This unit is not recommended for a videographer or consumers looking for production equipment to produce DVD quality video.
