18Dec ContourRoam HD Sports Cam Discount
I received a few emails today regarding the ContourRoam HD cam discount code. I just went through the process and confirmed as of 8:00 a.m. this morning (pac time), it does work. Normally priced at $180 dollars, you can get the ContourROAM hands-free HD camcorder for only $89 with the following promotional code: 89ROAM89. Here’s the product the code works on (click here).

i’m not sure if I need this or not, but being the bargain maniac that I am I ordered it…i’ve lost out on far to many deals lately by waiting.

just cancelled it, noticed that it didn’t have 60fps….blurg.

The built in battery was the big killer for me. I think this sale might be a sign of this models popularity… or lack there of.

I just bought the ContourHD yesterday. I’m thinking this may be a good backup or secondary cam. No 60fps or replaceable battery are big drawbacks, but $89 for a good HD camera is pretty nice.

Ok, just ordered one using the promotional code and got it for 89.00 total. I just could not resist at that price. I have seen enough online footage to convince that, while maybe not quite as good at the GoPro, at $89 it’s a true steal. Thanks for the heads-up Emm. Now I just have to drill a hole in the ice here in WI or wait ’til spring and trout fishing.

60 fps mod for Contour Roam

60p on the go pro is really bad, anyway. Not always, but it can cause a lot of problems and even the external monitor is too small to notice in the field. This would be good for someone who wants to do 360 time lapses on the cheap. These have interval settings, right?

Ok, I bought the Contour Roam 2days ago and it arrived.
First, it come with fw 1.02 the 60fps hack does not work. Confirmed.
Second, the sound it very quiet. I would say do not expect any sound on it. This issue listed under common issue on the support forum.
Overall, I’m still happy with it. It served my propose.
The only thing I missed was if I use Mastercard to pay on Amazon I get $10 cash back.!!!

Just received mine – so far happy with what it is – I was kind of looking for a GoPro that wouldn’t stick out like a sore thumb so much in other footage shot at the same time. The streamlined Contour seems like it will draw a lot less attention to itself when it gets into the shots of other cameras. Also being able to rotate the lens to level seems pretty cool.
I got a GoPro from Woot for $129, so I’ll be able to compare the 2 and see wich works better in the field.

@Jim Chisholm
Did you upgrade the firmware?
Do you have quiet sound problem? I do.
December 21st, 2011 at 4:29 pm
I upgraded the firmware – I’m not really planning on using any sound, so I haven’t tested it – but, if I get a chance I’ll try and test it out to see – my initial impression was that the sound seemed better than from a GoPro.

FYI
The older firmware for 60 fps is available in the Contour support forums. ^_^

Here’s a quick timelapse I did with my new Contour Roam being used with Camalapse’s cool egg-timer device thingy.
