Well as you all know a while back I received my GoBandit HD GPS helmet cam. I was all excited for that camera because of the gps and skinning options for the gps info. In the end though the lack of options and more inportantly the poor video quality made me return it. Hopefully some software/firmware upgrades will fix it because I think this camera has potential.
I had to move on so I exchanged it for the Contour HD 1080p helmet cam. Now it does not have the options of the GoPro Hero HD and I think the hero footage is marginally better but not by much. I just preferred the design and ease of use of the Countour.
Here is a very boring video showing samples of the camera in action. It shows how it handles the brightness,transitioning from shade to bright and at the end low light when the heli is dropping off the sled. The footage is straight from camera with no color grading etc. It was shot with the default out of the box settings in 1080p @30fps. I just wish the viewing angle would be a bit wider than 111degrees as compared to the 135 degrees when in 720p mode.
Youtube compression has degraded the footage a bit and some of the artifacts you see is not in the original footage.
