Contour

Sometimes a cyclist wants to tell the tale of their adventures and illustrate it with some images or film of the events that they have experienced. This is a very hard thing to do without having the right kit, specifically the right camera to hand. Anyone with pretensions of doing a spot of documentary film making while they ride should get their hands on a Contour camera.

A Contour GPS camera is not difficult to use, which is always something to be hailed when it is likely that it will be used frequently while in the saddle. All designs have a waterproof capability to a depth of one metre, meaning that rainy conditions are no obstacle to producing some fine images. A 32Gb microSD card provides plenty of room to store all the images that anyone owning a Contour Roam camera is likely to produce.

The Contour HD 1080p adds the possibility of extra clarity by filming in High Definition, meaning that viewers will be able to pick out every gravel chip on the road and every drop of sweat from a rider's face. Watching film from this camera really is the next best thing to being out on the bike itself and takes photographers to a level of image slightly higher than that of the Contour Roam.

With models ranging from basic aimed at those beginning their careers as sports photographers right up to the most sophisticated hands free models for more experienced practitioners, a Contour camera is the best choice out there for the cyclist looking to have something a little more tangible than memories to fall back on.
