tommcb6016 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Are they the HD one as the quality doesn't look great? or is it just uploaded at a lower quality? Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArcusFlyer Posted October 25, 2009 Author Share Posted October 25, 2009 No, the camera's are not HD. They are bringing out an HD version soon. But it'll be quite a bit more expensive. Had I not got a v cheap price I think I would have shopped around for a normal HD camcorder and bought a wide lens for it. I'm not blown away by the quality of these but its pretty small + convenient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommcb6016 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 I use a Panisonic DMC-TZ7 thats quite good for video and not too expensive. Here is a vid I took in Spain it's quite a boring vid but only uploaded it to see what the quality is like,and I have yet to figure out how to edit video It's so jumpy because I used velcro to fix it to the top of the reserve... Bad idea if you want still video [youtubevideo]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQFkWJ2_sWY[/youtubevideo] Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surrey-dad Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 A couple of brightness issues. Not going to win any oscars but a good days flying! Great first attempt though. But was always going to be a challenge from that viewpoint with a bright sky as background. As with any camera, practice makes perfect, and probably just needs you to play around taking clips from other viewpoints and angles. Anyway do please keep sharing your adventures on video, as provides inspiration for us newbies - still firmly rooted to the ground !

surrey-dad Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 ....Ive got one as well from last week [youtubevideo] [/youtubevideo]Cracking video Gary ! Beautiful area - whereabouts were you flying ? Especially liked the clips along the deserted beach. Thanks for sharing, and look forward to your next upload.

zxbob Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I purchased a Go Pro Wide from dogcam just the other day and I had a light issues as well so sent it back and paid the extra for the Contour HD and found it a lot better.

cambodia Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 What about the Go Pro wide HD, Does this also have light issues. I want to get the best for Paramotoring and can't decide between the HD Go Pro or the HD Contour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neders Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I would be interested to hear Bobs opinion of the Contour HD , the pros and cons etc, as this is a camera that I am interested in myself . Regards Alistair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zxbob Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The Contour HD is easier to use and more compact big slide switch on top for record with a nice beep 2 laser light for alignment and will take bigger memory card the the hero. the one I have is 720HD Bob..

surrey-dad Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 ...and will take bigger memory card the the hero.Bob.. According to Contours own comparison Tech Spec page, the Contour HD max memory is 16GB vs the GoPro HD max of 32GB.But on the upside, the Contour comes with 2GB, whereas the GoPro provides no memory...

cambodia Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 If you look at the footage shown on there web sites the Go Pro does seem to be a much higher picture quality. Look at that surfing guy on the Go Pro site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macey2kk Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 am i correct in reading on the tech spec, that the countour only has 2 hour battery life on a full charge? that kinda puts the max memory card size a little irrelevant for me..... unless i misunderstood?
