Cool video

Is that the 1080p one? How many batteries do you get?

I've just been looking at the CountourHD Camcorder!

I'm blown away you can get them for around £200ish. I WANT ONE!!

It's Definitely on my wish list.

Rigor, how much footage do you get on a memory card? i.e. 8gb? 16gb?

Nope, it's the normal one. Wanted it quickly so decided not to hunt down the 1080p version. Video is plenty good enough for me, the actual quality out of the camera is better than the uploaded version.

I only got one battery that seems to be good for a few hours, and the 2gb SD card can take about an hour of video on high quality.

Only thing I would say is that the standard mounts are a bit rubbish. I bought the additional threaded mount and am going to get a ram mount to fit on the bike come spring.

I really want one of these now!! I've watched the reviews and everything! Its ACE!

Think I'm going to order a HD 1080p one though! Maybe from USA as its cheaper.. Hmmm..

We shall see.

don't get stung on import fees

I know!! My uncle lives out there so hopefully he can send me one as a gift, lol.

But I might just order one from uk to save the hassle. Is it better to get the 1080p rather than 720p though??

1080p is in theory a better quality of image providing both cameras are a similar spec (same frame per second rate etc.).
Be warned (unless they've done something clever) the videos it records will be a really big file size so you'll need a good capacity memory card.

True, the videos I recorded on mine were approx 1Gb for 25 minutes of video at 1280x720 30fps. So just under an hour on the 2Gb SD card you get with the camera.
