Just found and purchased this today at HN. Bought two. The dude who served me was puzzled as he said they buy it for $199 but was happy to sell at the marked price on the website. I've attached a screen grab of my statement for the purchase x2 as they didn't give me a receipt…
It seems to be a "while stocks last" sale price as it's now going to be a discontinued item. Dandenong HN has from memory 2 reds, no blacks, 3 blues and 4 yellows left?
they are back in business

i stand corrected
So that renders this video camera useless?
What is the difference between the 2 models?
How do they compare to other action cameras, say GoPro?
Much lower quality …….advertising budget.
You can see the side by side videos on youtube

countour imo is much better for certain situations. - helmet etc
Just be aware that this review is for Contour+2 not the ContourRoam2
I am glad I watched the rest of that vid, I would have just wandered what the difference was haha. Thanks for the vid!
I like that the lens can be rotated to almost any angle. This means I can mount it at almost any part of my motorcycle helmet and not worry about lining up the video file later. Of course that's providing I remember to use the laser leveler to adjust the lens before starting the record. :p
In the end, you win some, you lose some. It's just a simple lever to initiate the record and to stop. No multiple buttons to mess around, but to change settings, you need to be near a PC.
Nice, get 2 and mount side by side to create 3D HD action vids. Now just gotta get a 3D 4K 120" TV for under $2000…maybe in 2019?
$159.01 instore at HN Nunawading.
