New POV Camera – ContourHD

I previously reviewed the Moultrie ReAction (you can read it here) and in my conclusion, I liked it and recommended fellow hunters to get one and take it to the woods when hunting. There is nothing better than capturing and then later sharing your hunt with others.

I wanted more resolution than the ReAction offers (720p) so I bought a ContourHD. It is a small point of view (POV) camera weighing 4 ounces and has a track mounting system that shoots video in 1080p HD. The videos are unbelievable. It has a 135 degree lens angle that shoots video up close. It has a microphone, but it is not the best and most powerful recording device.

I have 3 ways I like to mount my ContourHD and they are:

1. Goggle Mount – I used this mount as my POV to film what I see as the action is taking place. Sometimes I wear the goggles and other times I strap the goggles to the top of my hat.

2. Tripod Mount – I bought an adapter to where the ContourHD can mount on any standard tripod.

3. Gorilla Tripod – The camera mounts to the Gorilla like a stand tripod but the Gorilla has flexible arms that you can wrap around items and skew in different angles to get the shot you want.

 

Now, I have included a video of various clips to show off the ContourHD capability. I am very excited about the different ways I can use this POV during the upcoming turkey season. I am also looking forward to seeing all the different ways to use this camera to provide videos for this blog.
