Contour HD Helmet Camera

 

 

VholdR , the market leader in  wearable Camcorders, has just introduced the worlds first High Definition (HD) and high speed  helmet camera designed for rugged outdoor use.

 

The VholdR Contour HD is nothing short of extraordinary. As the world’s first wearable all-in-one HD camcorder it is lightweight, yet rugged enough to withstand the elements while capturing exceptional quality video, regardless of the angle. The included software also makes editing and sharing videos easier than ever.

 

This durable camera provides amazing video clarity (choose between high definition or high speed), ease of use and a host of mounting options and accessories.

 

Such a  combination of HD, high speed , compact size and light weight is unprecedented in the helmet camera genre.

 

 

Only the ContourHD features:

• HD (1280 x 720) at 30 fps
• SD (858 x 480) at 60 fps
• 135-degree wide angle lens
• MicroSD/SDHC up to 16GB (2GB included)
• Internal microphone
• hands-free wearability -easily attaches to your helmet, goggles, equipment or vehicle 
• light weight -116 grams
• one button simplicity -single button to shoot
• armored with an aluminum body-abuse proof
• two lasers for quick visual alignment
• all-in-one design- no wires , separate recorders or battery packs
• captures video to a micro SD memory card up to 16 GB- no moving parts such as hard drives or tapes
• Micro SD memory cards (used in cell phones and freely available) are particulary suitable for harsh environments as they eliminate the problem of mechanically vulnerable hard-drive storage/ tapes found in traditional bulky handheld video recorders.

It may look like just a lens, but the front of the camera houses at least 3 major elements.

Dual lasers activate on demand, sending out referencing beams indicating two pieces of information, where the camera is pointed, and if it is level.

The VholdR ContourHD has a whopping 135º wide angle lens! This is wide enough to put everything in the frame but not so wide that it distorts the landscape(most regular digital cameras only offer a 60 to 75 degree angle of view)

 

Both the lens and the capture card rotate together 192 degrees within a pivoting hermetically sealed capsule. This means no matter how you mount the camera, VholdR sees a level world.

More than just a lens!

 

 

Armored Video

 

Housed in a tough, black aluminum enclosure, the Vholdr is not some fragile consumer cam that shatters into tiny plastic pieces if you drop it.

The water-resistant body is made of anodized aluminum and rigorously tested to withstand dirt, dust, mud and snow.

 

Additionally the ContourHD is impact, shock and vibration resistant with the inner workings silicon treated and insulated from the elements.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 On. Off. Repeat

VholdR ContourHD is one of the most user friendly helmet cams around.

No knobs, dials or cumbersome menus like a regular video camera when you are using the VholdR!

One giant record button on top makes it easy to stop and start recording, even with  gloves on.

Furthermore, the all-in-one design of the Contour HD means that users don’t have to fumble with multiple wires.

 

 

Sealed Access

Removable battery – swop on the fly with extras available.

Video resolution is 1,280x720 pixels captured at 30fps in HD mode.

 

Video is saved as a .MOV file with h.264 video encoding and AAC audio encoding. At this resolution, the ContourHD will capture 30 minutes of video per gigabyte in HD mode. The included 2GB MicroSD card will hold one hour of video in HD format.

 

Flipping the HD/SD switch to SD crops the viewing angle to a 4:3 aspect ratio at 60 fps, which is useful for capturing fast moving objects . Videos at 60 fps look much more smoother and less "jittery" when recording high speed action.

 

In SD mode the record time is doubled to 60min per GB i.e. the included 2GB MicroSD card will hold two hours of video in SD mode.

 

 

 

   

                   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fine Line Processing

Smear kills action video.If a video processor can’t keep up with the action, the result is jagged lines and smeared images. So VholdR changed the rules.

Instead of relying on a software–based system, VholdR created a hardware–based processor dedicated to one thing – video. This is the equivalent to hiring an employee to only turn on the lights – no answering phones, running for coffee, or stroking any egos.

The result? Smooth, sharp, and colourful TV quality 

audio and video.

 

Flexible Mounting

With the Vholdr's patented TRail mount system, rails on the side allow you to quickly slide and lock the camera into place. Removal is equally simple.

Numerous mounting options exist for flat surfaces, goggles, helmets  handlebars  and vehicle windscreens.

 

Included with the camera are the helmet mount and goggle strap mount.

The ContourHD makes it as easy to share videos as it does to record them. Thanks to VholdR’s Easy EditTM software (PC and Mac compatible) users can easily edit, upload, and share their videos with friends, family, and the world.

 

Connecting  camcorder to your computer has never been easier. Just plug your VholdR into your computer with the included USB cable. Then, open the included VholdR software, and choose a folder to download all of your VholdR videos.
