Contour Plus

Zitat: The good: + Want to know where you filmed as well as what? The Contour+ conveniently comes with GPS built in so that you can see the route you took on a map, as well as on screen. The Contour+ also comes with a rotatable lens, so you can perch it at the right angle for you to film at, whatever your needs. The bad: - As you’ll see in the clip above, we chucked the Contour Plus into the atmosphere along with some of its rivals. Sadly, its full HD video just isn’t up to the standard of its rivals, with footage coming out slightly blurred. Worse still, the viewing angle shrinks to 125 degrees at this setting. That makes it a hard sell versus the top notch GoPro series, and the affordable Ego series from Liquid Image. Receive a Contour Plus for Christmas and we wouldn’t do anything drastic like burn bridges with your friends and family. This is still a competent action camera that gets the job done. But when the GoPro series is out there, with better video and wider shooting angle, it’s hard to compete.

Zitat: Die "+" hat eine sehr stimmige Bildwiedergabe. Die Farben sind angenehm klar, und der Kontrastumfang bringt es auf den Punkt. Die Hell-Dunkel-Wechsel hat sie gut im Griff. Sie ist die teuerste Kamera im Feld und bringt am wenigsten Zubehör mit. Doch die serienmäßige Bluetooth-Schnittstelle ist im Testfeld einmalig, die GPS-Aufzeichnung in der Tat ein Plus. Daneben überzeugen Handling, Drehfunktion, Montage und der Look total: Testsieg!

Die Contour überzeugt, wenn man bereit ist, etwas mehr Geld auszugeben.

Zitat: Wired: + Crystal-clear 30fps picture with a 170-degree field of vision. Bluetooth controls and viewfinder are very handy. Giant sliding button makes it easy to know when you’re recording. Microphone input and streaming features turn you into a media mogul. Removable battery lasts about 2 hours, and spares are available for about $25 each. Tired: - No chest strap. Only comes with a 2GB card, which gets eaten up in minutes. If you want passable audio, plug in your own external mic.
