What better way to have a memory of our sporting achievements recorded in high definition from our point of view. ContourHD1080p can do that for us. This is a very compact, rugged video camera, specially designed to be placed on the helmet or goggles and record first-person shooter. As its name suggests, also has a 1080p resolution, to visualize our adventures at full screen with good clarity.

The increase is the main defining improvement over the previous ContourHD. However, it offers the possibility of reducing the image quality at 1280 x 960 pixels, 720p and WVGA (848 x 480 pixels) if you prefer. Although the option of recording at 30 frames per second is always available in the two lower-resolution modes can activate slow motion (60 frames per second) to capture in detail our jumps, flights and certainly also a good collection of falls.

The camera weighs 122 grams, so it is particularly awkward to carry. His body is made of sturdy aluminum, although eye, not dustproof or water. The record button is large and robust, so that we can operate it easily even when wearing gloves, which is most likely. Since we can not see why we are framing a dual laser helps orient us in the right direction and can rotate at an angle of 135 degrees.

The storage of ContourHD1080p are Secure Digital (up to 16 gigabytes), its rechargeable battery autonomy has about three hours of recording and includes video editing software. It goes on sale in mid-October with an official price of $ 330 (226 euros).
