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!

ordered. don't know if I need it but damnit, that's a good deal.

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 :)

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.
