Contour Roam HD camera - $89 with free next-day shipping

Post by complacent »

This is a smoking deal. I have no idea how long it will last, but if you're in the market, Amazon is selling it for half price, with free next-day shipping.

Go to the link above and add to your cart. When checking out, apply the following discount code: 89ROAM89

I've been on the fence for a while now... This price, coupled with living 30 minutes away from eden, and I jumped. Will post full review when I get to break it in!

In other news....anybody know of a cat that needs a new home? Because I found half off cat food and couldn't resist.

That is impressively cheap. Too bad I already have two.
Wish they would do something like that for the Contour +. That thing is sooo geeked out.

I wonder how they compare to a GoProHD. Is the image stabilization as good? The wind noise reduction? I REALLY like the GPS one :)

Damn nice find BTW :)

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

The POV shots from the last ski film were from the Contour line.
From what I have read, the GoPro has higher dynamic range and light adjustment capability. The Contour HD that I have requires that you connect it to a computer and change the lighting/sensitivity settings through the software interface.
Wind noise is an issue.
But at this price, it is tough to beat.

so...I got mine. A few things....you need to order an SD Micro card; it doesn't come with one. The mounts for the camera that come in the box only work on the siderails; nothing to use to set the camera on something (i.e. your dash). It does have a 1/4" threaded adapter on the bottom for a standard camera mount (i.e tripod, etc).

Not sure how I plan on using this but it certainly isn't useful out of the box unless you're sticking it on a helmet.

Mine came with a 16 gig card, goggle strap mount, and hard surface mount.
Sounds like this deal was for the stripped down version.

I have a few at home actually. I still need a mount for it...it's not usable in my car or anywhere at the moment, unless I walk around with it.
