Heads up! It's the VholdR ContourHD camcorder!

The Gadget Show  Tuesday 28 April 2009

Heads up! It's the VholdR ContourHD camcorder! "On me 'ead son!" That's what we'd say to the VholdR ContourHD, anyway

If you say stuff like: “Woh, dude” and “Gnarly manoeuvre, bro”, then you’ll probably be interested in the VholdR ContourHD – the ideal helmet-cam for capturing your dare-devil XXXtreme-sportster stunts in crystal clear HD-goodiness.

The VholdR ContourHD camcorder shoots 720p footage at 30fps and WVGA at 60fps, so it should be plenty quick enough to capture your mates tumbling as you speed down a mountain on your snowboard pulling all sorts of awesome tricks. Apparently that makes it the “world’s first wearable HD camcorder”. Who knew?

Depending on whether you want to wear it or not, you also get a goggle mount and flat surface mount. The lens swivels 192 degrees, plus it has dual lasers (to help with set up, not to kill people!), and a 2GB microSD card.

The VholdR ContourHD goes on sale from May 15 and will cost around £200. Your XXX movies will never be the same again. And no. We’re not talking about THOSE XXX movies!
