This week, sports camera maker Contour has unveiled its latest addition to their range in the form of the waterproof ContourROAM sports camcorder. The new ContourROAM can accept up to 32GB MicroSD cards, enabling it to record up to 8 hours of movie footage when shooting in full 1080p mode. If you need more space, the cards can easily be popped out and swapped if required.
The new sports camcorder is waterproof up to 1m and is also equipped with a multi-direction microphone designed to capture the ambient audio of all your adventures. When combined with its 1080p video (25 or 30 fps) and stills using its 5-megapixel sensor, you shouldn’t miss anything.
Advanced Features and Usability
The ContourROAM comes supplied with Contour’s Storyteller App, which allows you to easily transfer your video footage to either Mac or PC systems, providing easy upload to your website for bragging rights. This app is particularly user-friendly, making it simple for even novice users to edit and share their adventures online. The app also offers basic editing tools, allowing you to trim and stitch your footage before sharing it on social media platforms.
The ContourROAM is equipped with a 170-degree field of view, ensuring that you capture a wide perspective of your surroundings. This wide-angle lens is perfect for action shots, whether you’re skiing down a mountain, biking through rugged trails, or surfing the waves. The camera’s lightweight design, weighing just 5.1 ounces (145 grams), makes it easy to carry around without feeling cumbersome. It will run for around 3 hours on a fully charged battery, giving you ample time to capture your adventures.
Durability and Versatility
One of the standout features of the ContourROAM is its durability. The camera is built to withstand the elements, making it an ideal choice for outdoor enthusiasts. Its waterproof capability up to 1 meter means you can take it swimming, kayaking, or even snorkeling without worrying about water damage. However, it’s important to note that while the camera is waterproof, it is not designed for deep-sea diving.
The ContourROAM also features a rugged exterior that can handle bumps and drops, making it a reliable companion for extreme sports. The camera’s mounting system is versatile, allowing you to attach it to helmets, handlebars, or even your body, depending on your activity. This flexibility ensures that you can capture the best angles and perspectives, no matter what you’re doing.
The ContourROAM Waterproof Sports Camcorder is now available to buy for $200, making it an affordable option for those looking to document their outdoor adventures. Its combination of high-quality video, durability, and ease of use makes it a strong contender in the sports camera market.
