Contour Gun Camera Review

I recently purchased a contour +2 action camera to use in my video production. I bought it because it was small, durable, had an external mic jack, streamed wireless to my phone, was water proof, and had a built in GPS.

When I got it, I found that it was oversold just a little bit -- it has an HDMI out port -- which they say allows it to be used as a webcam to apple computers -- but the laptop I have is HDMI out only, so it will not work to tape my classes.

The video is a little jump as it has a low frame rate, and the lens makes everything look a little walleyed.However, it comes with a waterproof case for scuba and snorkeling activities, and a bunch of different mounts -- if I was using this solely as a gun cam, I would be very happy, as it is smaller and has more features than the go-pro.

Because I wanted a good quality camera with an external mic jack and I wanted to stay under $1000.00 I allowed myself to be taken by all the hoopla around this camera. I guess sionce I have a waterproof case I can finannyl start working on shooting the Glock underwater...

You should try cranking your microphone gain up from the app settings. The camera microphone is set lower than normal because most people have these head-mounted and go high speed so they try and cut down the wind noise. Strange about your lapel mic, I use an external and it sounds amazing... Cheers!
