Gadget: ContourHD 1080P Helmet camera (High quality video)

Post by Fred »

Any looking for a small high quality video camera that runs 4+ hours on a charge and uses internal memory card look at the ContourHD 1080p. I haven't used it much but the video is high quality and impressive.

Cons: No ability to add to intercom audio (no external audio jacks for input)

Can be found on hundreds of online stores including Amazon.com for about $250

Factory website: http://contour.com/contourhd/helmetcam

Suction cup mount works well with the DA40

Sporty's camera is a NFlightcam made by Contour. It is the same as the one showed by fred, but with an audio lead, for an extra 100$ though. Very nice for flight recording.
