Consider the fact that what gives you a rush and seems like a great fun ride is more exciting in your mind than on film lol.
I got a contour Roam 2 a few weeks ago and have not made a single interesting video yet. I didn't notice how much of a boring rider I am on film. Just thought it was funny. I don't go on the track or anything but I think I will just stick to recording mountain biking and whatever else I can come up with for now.
As for the camera itself I thought it was a pretty good buy. Waterproof without a case out of the box, slim design and cool mounting system compared to the go-pro. However, it does not have the same video quality as the go-pro and my only mechanical issue is that no matter what I can't get rid of the wind noise above 60 mph or even sometimes at low speed. I tried everything from encasing it in Styrofoam to putting bar tape over the mic hole. The only thing that apparently works is a product called a Dead-Cat-Dot...
Which I assume is a mustache for your camera....
This is all the video I have come up with so far. (Note I have some sort of ocd habit of resetting my turn signal button every two seconds.) Lol
Let me know what you think...
Btw... Can't we embed videos so you don't have to leave the site? Also make sure to go 720p or higher.
