Conclusion: We like it

Contour's latest helmet-cam for action sports enthusiasts "records better video than its predecessor, with the new camcorder showing significant improvement in low light recording," according to CamcorderInfo, which also likes the Contour+ 2's "rotatable lens, the laser sight level, and the durable body design that makes the camcorder mountable without having to put it in a waterproof case." Engadget also likes the new model, highlighting its "fully waterproof case, better wireless viewing and control from mobile devices over Bluetooth, easy video sharing" and lower price. While some might prefer the less expensive GoPro Hero3, CamcorderInfo sees Contour's model as a good alternative thanks to its "unique and useful features that aren’t found elsewhere in the market."

The Contour+2 is not a bad product. Yes, we had a couple of problems, but it still offers great image quality in a versatile device.

The Contour+2 is ideal for action adventurers who want a helmet camera with a simple recording control. For other applications, the Contour+2 presents a frustrating user experience, which is disappointing, given its premium price.
