I made my first couple of videos with the Contour Roam HD camera recently and I thought I’d post them up. The sound is the only drawback on this and I am planning on making a mod to the camera to attain a better quality. Essentially, if you have the settings around 50%, you will not hear voices at all and at 100% you can barely hear voices, but then the mic gets blown out with wind noise etc. Contour released an updated driver that supposedly corrects this but I can’t say I’ve noticed an improvement. In these video clips I have the mic set to 75% or so. The wind noise is bad and on the low mount video the sound is unbearable, but that is because I have the camera mounted to the fork right up against the brake caliper which isn’t the best place to mount due to vibration but it’s a cool effect.

Okay, I’m way late on posting anything the past few months. A lot has changed; I got a new job and I’ve been busy getting settled in learning some new stuff. But I thought I’d post up a few pics from my trip over the Sierras that I took back in July with my buddy. Enough talking, here’s the pics.

Here’s the route we took:

Really wanted to make it to Mammoth Lakes but we didn’t quite make it that far.
