The ContourHD’s magnetism attracted Gizmodo’s attention, that’s for sure. They also mentioned how we’ve made the ContourHD even better. Hey, thanks for noticing!

Mountain Biking by 198 says the ContourHD “has outperformed the GoPro Hero and the V.I.O POV 1.5 by far” even through the “nastiest tech riding available” and they mean it. Don’t believe us? Check out the gnarly crash in the first part of this reviewer’s vid:
If a picture’s worth a thousand words, this review is worth a million in video. Engadget covers just about everything when it comes to “Hands-on and Impressions” of the ContourHD, one crystal clear vid at a time:
Wired Magazine found that the ContourHD ensured “Vidcam View is silky smooth even when the ride isn’t.” They also discovered what our users already know—the ContourHD produces “stunning image quality.” Read more here:
Havepack.com featured the ContourHD in its exclusive list of New and Innovative Cameras for Adventurous Travelers, pointing out that the ContourHD isn’t just for extreme sports—it also comes in handy for hikers. And it’s affordable (after all, how are you going to afford the trip if you blow your whole wad on the camera?) See the details here:
Crunchgear loves the ContourHD! Watch and read to see how the ContourHD holds up skateboarding on Manhattan’s East Side:

And Brian Mullin from MTBR.com took it out on Stoopid Trail in Colorado, reporting that the ContourHD “makes the competitors look like wet noodles in comparison.” See the full review here:

And mad thanks to Startups Live for featuring VholdR.com, showing how we help capture those extreme vacation memories forever:
The Gadget Show calls the ContourHD “The ideal helmet cam for capturing your dare-devil XXXtreme-sportster stunts.” Who knew? We did. Check it out here:

And speaking of dare-devils, Slippery Brick (“prolly the awesomest tech site”) noticed that the ContourHD makes Jackass-like stunts that much easier to record:
“What the Flip Video did for regular video cameras, VholdR is trying to do for people who want to mount a small, light-weight, wearable video camera to their bike, ski or motorcycle helmet or handle bars.”
We couldn’t have put it better ourselves. Here’s the link for the full feature:
