Bad324 Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I have heard of them and seen them at extremely cheap prices but I don't know anyone that has ventured on getting one and then seeing footage of it. I think woot or groupon runs these all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdonn Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 Well the HD runs for 99 bucks as compared to 250 for Hero2... Idk, it might be worth trying. I can't find reviews for it anywhere though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmanlyst Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 After seeing the SD video quality I would spring for the HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buildit Posted August 30, 2012 Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 For $50 it actually not bad considering the old Oregon Scientific cameras were $100 and had way worse quality. My roam hasn't been to bad considering the start up issues I had at first and the $200 it cost. I guess it is a case of get what you pay for.

jdonn Posted August 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2012 I think the quality of the SD is as the reviewer on youTube stated, its okay considering the price. The wallmart special bundle price has run out online so I can't go that route... Not sure, I'll have to look for more videos on youTube... Thanks guys!!!

8Rider6 Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 I was going to say, if you're serious about an action camera, either get a GoPro or Contour. However, from the Youtube review that camera really doesn't seem bad for the price. I got a Contour +2 about 3 months ago when it was first released.I like the Contour before of its size and profile, I think it works better as a helmet camera than the GoPro, at least for speeds over 60-70+ mph. However, the GoPro seems to have better image quality in most situations, but I have seen some videos where the Contour looks better, so it seems subjective and is probably highly dependent on the individual camera settings.The GoPro Hero 3 just came out, and I think I'm going to pick up a Black edition soon. I have some credit at Best Buy I can put towards it. I'll probably use the GoPro primarily as a camera mounted at different places on the bike and the Contour as a helmet cam.
