I snapped this pic yesterday with the GO PRO Hero as I was doing a jibe lesson! Pretty amazing picture quality to say the least! I'm going to have to dial in the settings a little more- there are some pretty cool features on the camera to say the least. I had my Contour video camera running on the side of my helmet and the GoPro up top.... talk about a techno weeny!
I have been filming with the Contour ROAM without any case on it- it has been solid for 3 months straight with absolutely no problems. The image may not be as tip top perfect as the GoPro when there is no fog in the case- I have had a tough time with that.... Don't worry, I'm not sponsored by either of these brands..... just some good input having used them both!
