I’ve been using the aweome range of cameras from Contour * and lately I have been using the ROAM instead of its brothers the PLUS and GPS as they require a waterproof housing whereas the ROAM is suitable for windsurfing action out of the box sans case. Phenomenal.

* these cameras were provided free of charge. No payment has been received by me at any time.

I’m in NZ this week following the Targa NZ event Tweeting, Facebooking and videoing all that happens.

This footage however, blew me away. Wait for it!

Sums it up pretty well:

Recently I received the new Contour+ camera to try with a few different work projects and the results have been astounding. The video (link below) is of Cody Crocker exploring the new course at Calder Park- it simultaneously shows the video and the GPS track- speed and elevation included. Very impressive!
