The contour +2 does look good i'll give you that, but am i correct in saying it's going to be arond £500,
Im quite an impatient person so i dont think i'll be waiting.
Festa ive only managed to find the go pro 1, for £200 on ebay.

looks like it's the Go pro hd hero 2 outdoor then.

i might just go to danbury on the weekend and do some shooting of people doing runs & jumps to test it out if the weathers ok. as it's always nice to catch up & see peoples skills progress.

Go Pros tend to be used more generally, I dont think they really can be faulted, also does the Contour have a chest mount ?. IMO that position makes the best clips, I prefer clips where you can see the handlbars/hands, just makes the clips better.

There is one gripe however, NO sd card with it. you would ave thought they'd of put one in.Even if it was a poo one.
anyhoo, ive just fitted it to my motorbike helmet as im waiting for my new 661 to arrive ( with wrist support )
My head hit the deck pretty hard so all the foam would have compacted and put it permenently out of shape.well thats my excuse for a new lid. :lol:
