Contour HD 1080p incar camera sale

Post by Shane001 »

Anyone looking for an incar camera these are good value at this price, I've ordered one :)
http://www.torpedo7.com.au/products/VHC ... mera-1080p

These are now an end of life product so I expect will only be available at this price while stocks last.
Edit: Just noticed the fine print; Valid until Monday 14th November.

And no I have no affiliation with torpedo7, never even ordered from them before, just posting up here for the benefit of other members :D

Oooo that looks pretty good, iv'e been looking at some decent cams for my car recently and that looks like exactly what im looking for. One on the passenger side windscreen and one to tuck away behind the front bar on the far right hand side poking through where the fog light would usually be for a down close and personal cam :D
Cheers for the link Shane

No worries, these are apparently a very good camera and for the price I reckon there'll be a few peeps on here interested in one :D

That's good sh*t! Wish it has 170 degrees rather than 135Degrees viewing angle.

Sure, if you want your videos to look like they've been filmed in a fish bowl ;)

Just slightly and thats the norm. But it just catches so much more views at both sides, which makes sense if you are capturing in-car footage. But do give us your reviews and videos about the contour. ;)

You also lose the sensation of speed with some of those wider angle cameras.

Yep, once I get it and test it out I'll post up some video :)

Yeah they're back up to full price now though. Keep an eye on it though, looks like they still have stock so they may discount it again to clear them out.

Got mine today, turns out it arrived at my PO Box on Friday :lol:

Just chuck it in the street car and go for a run around the block. That would give you a ruff idea of how it looks.

I'm not concerned about the video, just do a youtube search, I'm more interested in the sound. I want a camera that not only shows the visual side of it but also records the sound much better. To me that's the big thing missing from so much in car footage. I'm a car nut, sound is everything :lol:

Now if only someone can add that burning rubber smell to the video's ;)
