In 2003, two undergraduate students took on a challenge to compete in the University of Washington business plan. Passionate about skiing, Marc Barros and Jason Green wanted to create a helmet camera that will allow them to share their explorations with other ski enthusiast, family and friends. They knew it was impossible to hold a camera while traveling at such rapid speeds downhill while encountering other obstacle such as trees. Knowing what the camera would be exposed to, the design and features must be suitable for extreme temperatures and durable enough to withstand falls. With much thought and consideration came the design and feature of the Contour Camera which was formally known as the VholdR.
The ContourGPS will film crisp 1080p videos and uses a 135° wide-angle rotating lens. Your Contour Camera will produce quality footage with little distortion and fish-eye. Contour also understands that their camera will be used during multiple activities and provides several different setting to accommodate for the various activities. With a Contour Camera, you will get quality videos that will tell capture your adventure as it unravels.
Revolutionizing the way we share our adventures, ContourHD has capture a new element without jeopardizing quality of the film or tying up hands . With the Contour GPS, you will be able to track your trails, adventures and even share it with your family and friends. The Contour Cameras are wearable, lightweight and durable which will allow you to take it on all your adventures. Also the Patented Trail System will allow the camera to lock onto any person, any type of equipment or vehicle.
Weighting an astonishing 5.2 ounces, make the Contour the smallest and lightest hands-free camera on the market. Contour makes filming a simple yet an enjoyable task; equipped with two lasers and rotating lens will let you adjust and center the camera to the desire location. Also an oversized sliding switch will activate the camera to start filming (easy to use with or without gloves). Contour engineered their cameras to be user simple and we know it will be perfect for your next adventure.
