bomb420 1 #3 April 19, 2011 Looks like they had cold feet. Weird they were readily showing it at NAB to everyone and now it sounds like they pushed back the press release.HYPOXIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bomb420 1 #6 April 21, 2011 Thank you for those links. I've been reading up on your posts on those forums and I was not aware of the quality issues between the GPS and the standard 1080P camera. I'll stay tuned and hope they fix it. -TrunkHYPOXIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorick 0 #7 May 12, 2011 There it is: http://contour.com/camera/contour_plus For me the most exiting feature is the 'live streaming—via HDMI and external transmitter'. Would it work when you're up in the air, and people watching on the ground? Too bad it doesn't record 1920p @ 60 fps.
