That camera looks sweet...
I got it mainly because of the looks (and obviously video quality). Don't like Go Pro's, they look like teletubbies.

Here's an example of the video quality (with built-in mic) after uploading to Youtube, which always compresses the hell out of the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ry9eg2dsqkQ.
The sound is crap with the built-in mic, so you need an external one but it was just a tenner plus I've got it nicely tucked inside the helmet now so it's almost invisible.

I saw, subbed to you too. Now we just need to upload some videos :D
I've got loads of footage from my commuting and even have an intro, just need to come up with what to put inbetween the clips.

Bit pricey for the contour+2 though. Can get a Drift Ghost HD for half of that. Saying that , the contour+2 does look Like an awesome camera. I like the fact that u can check and adjust the shot and settings on the go thru the phone app... Very clever.

Thanks, I was trying to avoid taking the can off but I guess I'll have to.

Same here Rip, I've taken the bolts out and springs off but it wont budge. i dont really want to start whacking it with a lump hammer!!! So if you do manage to take the end can off i would be interested to hear your technique. Or if anyone else has a trick up their sleeve please share.

Plus you can rotate it whichever way you want. The front part turns around by I think 270 degrees so you can mount in on the side of your helmet, top, bottom, doesn't matter, your shots will always be level.
