which camera for climbing

Just saw that on the website...

 

So, where do I get the best price on a gopro package? This just went to the top of my Christmas List.

Action Cameras, Hunstanton watersports, Amazon there all kind of the same price really. You can get them from the states a little bit cheaper but you'll have to wait a little while for it to clear customs.

Excellent, Thanks Ian!!

Would anyone that is using the x170 and using a Stein lid kindly take a photo of where they have it mounted on the helmet please. I've offered it up and I can still see the little grey bit on the helmet on the bottom of the little screen. As soon as thats sorted I can begin making some poor quality videos that are littered with swear words.

 

Many thanks.

Someone's just mentioned Contour to me, there are three types I think looking at the website, anyone any experience with these and how it compares to gopro??

 

There I was thinking I'd made my mind up on a gopro

Contours a good camera got my hands on one whilst in Ireland. The best feature is it has a built in led laser to line up you sight line. The fish eye lens is a little bit less than the drift and gopro. I had it side mounted when having a go but didn't have a lot of time to take it for a good test as it wasn't mine.

I'm using the Contour Hd 1080p and I like it, like Ian says its laser set up is really good and very simple. it has a large on off slider which is easy to operate. Its not waterproof but you can get a cover or the new Contour roam is.

Ben, just to show the full power of the gopro heres the 2011 highlights all edited on a iMac with final cut pro x best watched in youtube hd (if you have an hd computer screen if not 360 or 420) [ame]

Now if you thinking of buying a camera wait until the end of the week. The Gopro2 will be on the market, thus making the gopro cheaper and forcing the drifts to come down too.
