The VholdR ContourHD Action Sports Camera

With such clean and crisp High Definition video, why film with anything but the VholdR ContourHD helmet cam?

The ContourHD Firmware Upgrade (Version 1.34) is now available. Now you can alter the audio and video settings on your ContourHD camera effortlessly. This firmware allows you to configure the video bitrate, while enabling you to adjust the lighting contrast, exposure values, sharpness and light metering as your shots dictate. You are also able to fine-tune the microphone sensitivity, so you can capture the sound you want, and minimize the sounds you don't. This latest update improves the compatibility with certain 8GB MicroSD cards, including MaxFlash brand cards. With all these improved features, you can now spend more time creating awesome footage, and less time editing.

In the past, point of view helmet cameras had a specific goal of providing a convenient method of filming, rather than capturing high quality video. Our cameras could easily mount anywhere, granting riders the freedom of hands free filming during their extreme runs, tricks and jumps. The issue was simply this: the video quality had barely enough resolution to be clearly viewed on YouTube. But we have changed all that with the introduction of The VholdR ContourHD wearable camera. Now crisp HD video footage and small, lightweight mountable filming equipment go hand in hand, capturing the thrill of the ride in crystal clarity.

Incredible, High Resolution Video Quality

Prior to the release of the NEW VholdR ContourHD, our cameras filmed at a maximum resolution of 640x480. How things have changed... the ContourHD outputs at an insane resolution of 1280x720 at 30 FPS, creating breathtaking, high quality, clean and crisp playback! In addition, the high action mode shoots 848x480 at 60 FPS capturing unbelievably smooth action recordings! Now you can relive the rush again and again in pristine, DVD quality video.

A Wider Lens to Fit the Entire Scene

When it comes to filming action sports, you know how important every angle of view can be. You will never have to compromise another shot, because the VholdR ContourHD camera boasts a built-in wide angle lens. With an impressive 135° angle of view, you capture everything you want in the frame, without compromising for distortion of the landscape. This is of high importance when filming high speed, action packed scenarios, and provides a video experience that really lends a sense of being right in the middle of the action. So impress your audience with your wicked production quality, as well as with your insane riding skills.

With its unreal list of features and accessories, you are getting supreme value with the ContourHD MegaPack. This package heads the market with its HD film quality, minimal size and incomparable adaptability.

Light Weight Equipment That Won't Hold You Back

Weighing in at a mere 4 ounces, this small, lightweight helmet camera will never drag down your performance. Plus you can mount it pretty much anywhere, making it one of the most rugged and versatile cameras on the market. And because of it's durable, waterproof aluminum casing, the only thing preventing you from filming in even the most extreme conditions, is you.

Built with the rugged, outdoorsy types in mind, the ContourHD is encased in an armor of tough, anodized aluminum. This camera was designed to take a fall, as it is shock, vibration and impact resistant. In addition, you are free to hit the trails in any weather condition, as the body is water resistant. Take a run of the mill camera out in the sleet, rain or snow, and you are just asking for trouble! But when you have the right equipment, you're never held back from capturing even the sickest of tricks.

You've got No Worries With Laser Alignment

You never have to ruin a shot again, not when you have lasers to level the recording out for you! The ContourHD has a dual laser system on the front lens housing, which pinpoints and corrects the subject location and camera shooting level. Now you are free to focus on the adventure playing out in front of you, not the camera recording it.

As Easy to Mount as it is to Operate

What would be the point in building top notch, user friendly cameras, if we made the mounting system complicated? That's where our patented quick and easy trail mount system comes in. Rails along the side of the camera allow you to quickly slide and lock it into place, enabling you to get on with the action and forget about the camera. If you are looking to get even more creative, the ContourHD has loads of mounting options for you to choose from. Be it a flat surface, your goggles, a helmet or even your handlebars...it can be done, leaving you free to capture the most amazing and unique videos you could imagine! The flexibility of this camera will keep the excitement of creating fresh, one of a kind recordings alive.

High Action Recording, as Smooth as Butter

High action scenes are hard to capture, without appearing shaky. But with the VholdR ContourHD, you can film your crazy high action at a recording mode of 60 frames per second! Designed for capturing high speed action scenarios, this shooting mode will create seamlessly smooth HD videos of all of your craziest runs.

One Button to Record AND Focus

VholdR has really taken the guess work out of filming action sports. The ContourHD has one button right on top, to start and stop recording, as well as to focus. No more groping at your helmet to blindly find the right button... now it's easy to keep your mind focused on the sport... even when wearing bulky, awkward gloves.

Shoot Continuously for Hours

Wires and tapes are a worry of the past, because the ContourHD can produce up to 3 hours of continuous filming off a single, rechargeable lithium battery. Always be on top of your game without being concerned about running low on storage space, the ContourHD can support up to a 16GB MicroSD (SDHC compatible) memory card. In HD mode you are shooting 30min per GB or 60min per GB in SD mode...so you can record hours of stellar footage and edit out what you don't need later.

Simple Editing Software for Every Platform

With the ContourHD, it is as simple as ever to edit, tag and share. Simply connect the camera to your computer, download your videos, clip out what you want to post, and share it online. In seconds, your wicked ride will be available for viewing by anyone...freeing up loads of time for you to get back to filming your stunts.

Not SD, but not HD (3.5) Review by DHbiker

Rating

Let's start by the obvious : For this price tag, the quality is amazing. It looks a lot better than your standard camcorder and you should get it as it is the best bang for your bucks. Now, the ugly. I used it with the goggle mount while riding downhill / freeride bike and the image is blurry when you look at it frame by frame and the still images you extract for it aren't great (I know, it's not a digital camera). Optical or software image stabilization should be implemented in future version. The goggle mount is tough and never felled, but move with every bumps of the terrain (my goggle strap were tightened a lot to reduce this) and adds to the blurriness of the image. Colors are good, but nothing impressive : I shooted in the woods, at Fall, with a lot of natural lights, and it doesn't come out with that much colors. With that said, I repeat : this product is pretty good, but don't be fooled : it's a cheap near HD helmetcam (720i according to my editing software). I'm looking forward for the ContourHD 1080P and don't regret my purchase. Just wanted to give my 2 cents on this. (Posted on 09-10-22)
good to go Review by nic

Great camera, awesome picture, it takes a little when going in and out of the sun to adjust for the light conditions. As for the wind noise, just use a cap froma bic pen to put over the mike. I notice the record button gets a little sticky with use in dusty conditions. Overall great design and very versatile, long battery life, easy to charge with mini usb, using your car phone charger or laptop. I give it 4+ because there's always room for improvement!

Great Picture Quality Review by CR Scoob

The video quality is great! So smooth, clear and crisp! It's easy to operate and is so light you don't even know it's there. The sound is still a problem when it's windy or when you get on the open road but on tight trails or when not moving, the sound is great. I attached a piece of foam with 2-sided tape (with small hole so not to cover the mic hole with tape) and it drastically reduced the wind noise. It also made the wind noise more of a low muffle instead of the loud sharp "crackling", which I find offensive to the ears.

If I was to use the stick-on mount, I would attach the tether to the helmet, and not the stick-on mount so you don't end up like the guy in the first review. I used the goggle mount and found it to work pretty good. They should have shaped both mounts to fit the curvature of helmets tho. I stuck some rubber on the ends (helmet side) of the goggle mount to make it contoured to sits firmly on the helmet without chance of movement or "rocking". This worked very well.

I have used the camera 4 times now and I'm very happy with it. One ride we were caught in a BIG rainstorm and the ContourHD worked well. No ill effects from all the water and when the picture was obscured by a raindrop, it cleared within 5-10 seconds.

I use a Transcend 16GB micro SDHC class 6 memory card. The only thing to remember is to power the ContourHD ON, prior to connecting it to your PC. Otherwise, it won't recognize the camera on the PC.

I completely endorse this helmet camera and for the money, you cant beat the quality. PLUS: NO WIRES!!! I think if VholdR spends a little time on their mounting systems, and offered a optional clear lens protector that could be easily replaced when scratched, or damaged, I would be completely satisfied with this product. If not for the mounting issues, I would give the ContourHD a 5 out of 5! (Posted on 09-06-26)
