_Summary: GoPro HD vs. Vholdr Contour HD
The Vholdr ContourHD 1080 and GoPro HD are relatively cost-effective, robust POV cameras. There[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s little to choose between them in terms of video quality; both are good. Both are subsceptible to producing jerky video, however, jerkiness can be minimized by using the cameras in appropriate conditions and with appropriate mounts. The ContourHD has a slight edge in useability but the GoProHD will be more resistant to inclement weather. As far as costs go, both are set at $299 USD.
For snowsports both cameras have well thought-out mounts. Non-helmet wearers skiing deep powder might find the ContourHD[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s goggle mount to be preferable as that mount is located high and won[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;t be coated in pow. Helmet [HTML_REMOVED]#8211; wearers and those who ski in shallow powder or hardpack will find little to choose between the GoPro and ContourHD in terms of mounts and useability [HTML_REMOVED]#8211; practically speaking, the ContourHD[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s goggle and helmet mounts are at least as good as the GoPro[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s helmet and chest mounts. From a pure fashion sense the ContourHD[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s form factor is sleeker and less obstrusive then the toaster-like GoPro worn on the head. Using the GoPro chest mount remedies this fashion faux pas.
To summarize, both the ContourHD and GoPro HD are compelling POV offerings. Compact, self-contained, very configurable, excellent quality video and decent sound. There[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;s very little to choose between them and what you pick will depend in large part on individual user quirks and what kind of use you[HTML_REMOVED]#8217;ll have for them.
