<p>After almost getting run over, I decided to dig out my Contour cam from my days in the military. It has become immensely useful. You would be surprised all the stuff you catch people doing. Lately I have found that my head has been on a swivel looking around catching txt n drivers, which i think for cars is as bad as being completely inebriated and driving. </p>

<p>With the Contour you can't loop the video, but if nothing happened and you don't want to keep the video, I usually just reformat the card before I leave for a new ride if I don't have access to download the video which takes all of a few seconds. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I like the cam that cyclist in the BBC video has because you cant really tell they have it on. Anywho,I have thought several times to start sending videos to insurance and/or the police for some of these really serious violations.</p> This is the only one I know o…tag:thechainlink.org,2012-02-15:2211490:Comment:5135042012-02-15T22:02:16.628ZChris Bhttps://thechainlink.org/profile/ChrisB

<p>I use an older model Contour VR - they have since released two or three upgraded versions since I bought mine. It is smaller than the GoPro, but the mount necessary to attach it to handlebars is an additional $30 purchase. It came with a mount to attach to skate style helmets, did not try it out on a road helmet.</p>

<p>I have the camera set to the lowest HD resolution which still gives a pretty good picture, and on an 8GB memory card usually run out of battery life before memory on long rides (about 2 hours during the summer). For recording commutes I usually have to recharge the battery about once a week and clear the memory twice a month.</p> Hey hey.
