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:

Everybody’s excited about the ContourHD and we can’t blame them—it’s pretty sweet! We thought we’d show you a couple of blogs from two guys who are just as excited as we are. Brian Westbrook is a local Tech Expert from our neck of the woods in the Pacific Northwest:

For those of you who haven’t heard: We’ve got some BIG news about BIG video.

On April 27th, 2009 we launched the ContourHD: The World’s First Wearable Camcorder. Some of you may also have noticed many of the upgrades and improvements made to our website—we gave VholdR.com a high-definition facelift to keep up with our new camera!

As readers on Gizmodo posted, it’s “just pure awesome” and Engadget cites it as the “even sexier followup” to the VholdR:

An awesome review from Gearlog of the VholdR vs. the Flip with video clips to prove the difference. The VholdR wins best Video Quality, best Fun Factor, and best way to fool your friends with a Predator impersonation:
