Comments about Contour ROAM Wearable Camcorder:

This camera is easy to use and a great design. I'd prefer to be able to change the settings without having to use a PC, but I rarely want to change them, so it's no big deal.

Overall it's a great camera and is a lot sleeker than the competitor's cam. Super easy to use!

Comments about Contour ROAM Wearable Camcorder:

The User Manual offers no help with understanding how to use the software so you have to use a lot of trial and error to figure things out. And the software seems to treat the camera like any other flash drive for importing recordings. I'd also like to be able to turn GPS off to save battery time.

Comments about Contour ROAM Wearable Camcorder:

GoPro really dominates the small HD portable video market. But contour has carved a niche with its simple and quick rail system. the camera slides onto mounts as opposed to having to screw different attachments to the GoPro. Also the GoPro has a cumbersome waterproof case that you have to remove it from to get the card and other features. I love that this thing has an on/off switch and a laser guide button. you can ride around and hit the switch and reliably capture the moment. The GoPro that a friend had this weekend was not recording when we thought it was because it has a button that you can not tell what state it is without reading a display. in the gopro's favor it has a screen attachment and a few high end features if you are shooting a movie. read thoroughly...
