Augh! We've been contemplating on getting the Contour+ which is their best high definition helmet camera so far with an aperture setting of 2.8 which will be great for capturing video especially in low light conditions and now they just released the ContourROAM which is also very compelling as it is waterproof, which means you can just go on taking wet weather airsoft footages without worrying about your camera.

Choices, choices, this is getting hard --- should we get one which takes great HD footages or one which does good HD video and waterproof for our use? Anyway, press release below after their promo video and review of this cam from Point of View Cameras.
