fendor1369 0 #1 December 11, 2009 Received my contourHD 1080p camera today, I am very excited to see how it performs. First impressions, very light weight which is good. In the box was the goggle mount, sticky helmet mount and a USB cable. I do not trust the sticky mount for skydiving, easy fix I am going to reinforce the mount with with two small bolts through the mount, easy day. No lens cap? It did not come with a lens cap for storage, which sucks. Ok let’s fire it up, put the battery in, switch is in HD mode cool power on. Hit record and let it run for a min. Connected it to my laptop, no insta play back kinda sucks. Np I can deal with that. Plug it in and my laptop picks it up np. Play the video with VLC, great picture quality and sound is good. Over all I am happy with it, just need to mount on my Bonehead Mamba and take it for a jump and see how it dose in freefall. So far the only cons are no insta play back and no lens cap. Anyone else have one that they have jumped? I am interested in seeing how you have it mountedJohn - D.S 1313 "I'll jump it, Np. It's all good" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 3 #2 December 11, 2009 The sticky is MORE than enough to hold the camera on. If your profile is accurate, please tell us you're not jumping with it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike524 0 #3 May 30, 2010 Hi, the sticky part holds on ok but the velcro is really bad. 2 jump and the camera gets knocked off. Lucky I had the lanyard on, but there should be no need for one. I agree with DSE, 75 jumps is "a little bit" low for jumping with a camera... blue skies Mikewww.321chutelibre.fr www.saut-en-parachute.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
