Camera options

[ErrEs]

I got a workbonus coming my way in the near future and I've been eyeballing some cameras for quite some time now.
These two made the final cut :
contour-roam
hd170-stealth-camera/

Anyone got some experience with one of these? Major benefit for the drift is the possibility to plug in an external mic.

In addition to the link that 05RedKat600 posted, I recently tried the full 1920x1080p setting on the ContourROAM. If you don't like the somewhat fish-eye look in the default setting of 720p, the 1080p mode is only very slightly fish-eye. The down side is that the files are much larger so you can't record as much (6hrs vs 8hrs with 32g sd card I think) and it also uses the battery faster. The quality is excellent, though.

Several of us have and use the Contour Roam... I like mine, the price is reasonable and there are a lot of mounting options.

Thanks for the feedback. Sound quality seems really good on the contour. Anyone has some first hand experience with the drift? I would love to compare those two. They are exactly the same price here so technical specs will be decisive.
GoPro probably won't be an option because I want to mount it underneath the headlight, and the shape and dimentions don't seem to allow that. I plan to make a permanent mount for it when I (finally) do the fairings.
