AS350Driver 56 Posted November 5, 2011 I have an 8 gig also, but forgot to put it in and take the 2 gig out. I ended up wasting some of the space by letting it record from startup until we got to our first location, about 12 minutes. I did lower the resolution to 720p to try and save some space. I can't wait to use it at the next USPSA match. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonny.montana 48 Posted November 11, 2011 Well I did two videos, one at night and one during the day... Day is pretty good ... night is really bad even after fixing the settings.... Contour ROAM, Dash Video Day Night 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AS350Driver 56 Posted November 11, 2011 Did you change the settings prior to taking the video. I haven't had mine very long, but I thought you had to change them based on what the lighting conditions are going to be. I didn't think you could change them after, IDK?

Did you load up the Contour software on your computer and use the Contour Configure software? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zoid 24 Posted November 15, 2011 Contour looks good enough for the price. From my research it's half the cost of the GoPro no? Or almost half. Lemme know if I overlooked something. I think I'm gonna start with the Contour and if I really need it I'll get something higher end down the road. The Tachyon is another consideration, have not heard much about it.

bbk 188 Posted November 15, 2011 Wow, CompUSA still exists? I thought they went under years ago. With that said, nice price. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Caine 147 Posted November 15, 2011 Wow, CompUSA still exists? I thought they went under years ago. CompUSA was bought by TigerDirect (if I remember correctly). I know all the local tri-state stores closed.. but not sure what happened with stores in other states. Seems like most of their sales are online now.

tony357 386 Posted December 7, 2011 Revisiting this thread, After extensive research i decided to go with tachyon hd mainly because of the mounting options.If shipping goes well i will have it fri for sundays shoot. http://www.tachyoninc.com/opshd.php Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Krdshrk 3,878 Posted December 7, 2011 Tachyon is nice and small, but can only shoot in 720P video. Also - they use a proprietary connector so pray you don't lose that cable! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

XDJohnTact 49 Posted December 25, 2011 You may be concerned about the picture/color on the Contour, but you CAN adjust the color/exposure/etc through the Contour software. This was shot on a cloudy/overcast day. Thanks Nick! I never went to a 3 gun event and imagined a lot or running and prone position. Your video actually looked like fun!
