4.0 out of 5 stars Rugged and great little wide angle video camera, June 14, 2009
By M. Thomason (Orlando, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I was looking for a small, wide-angle video camera to take some footage of a new "ropes-type" adventure course in the Oak Trees high above the Central Florida Zoo. I wanted to create a video of the course so that whoever watched it would FEEL like they were doing the course themselves.

I looked around and it came down to two cameras, the GoPro or the Vholdr Contour. I chose the GoPro because of its: price, 170 degree lens, top mounted on helmet, and it's really waterproof. However, now that the ContourHD is out, I'd seriously consider getting it instead because of it's outstanding feature set.

Here are some pros and cons I have from using the GoPro 5MP.

Pros: Simple, rugged, aim through viewfinder, 170 degree lens (easy to aim!), several mounts included, mounts on top of helmet...not on side, takes AAA batteries (find them anywhere...and rechargeable NIMH's work great). With it's "take a picture every 2s" mode, it can serve as a cheap and portable security camera too.

Cons: No view screen to see replays (but competition doesn't either), only takes 2GB memory cards (1 hour video), Mode icons are too small, no display of elapsed/remaining time, only "medium" video quality.

The end result is the GoPro worked great as an entry level priced helmet camera...it did exactly what I expected and I wouldn't cry if I broke it during an "adventure".

1.0 out of 5 stars Great footage, when it actually works, February 3, 2009
I was so excited to get this and had high expectations. Problem was that this camera worked about 20% of the time. I thought it was the batteries and tried 4 different sets of Lithium and NiMH, but no luck. I thought maybe it was the cold weather on my ski trip, but I had the same problems when biking in 60 degree weather. I was let down. This may be a defective item, but it let me down nonetheless. Relaibility is important to me and this camera isn't reliable. I returned it.

5.0 out of 5 stars small and perfect, January 11, 2009
This is the camera I wished I had as a kid doing sports and racing! It is small, the price is perfect and what you get is finefor that kind of money, and everyone can see what you did without breaking a sweat! My son is racing 4x mountain bikes and it was really fun to play it back for all of us and his friends. The company Adorama was great, quick and the price GREAT! I would check them out first the next time I purchase.
