Tektrader69 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Bloody Amazon, I have seen this before. They will ship one version of something here but not the better one. Happened with my wifes Kitchen Aid mix master. Sorry to lead you up the garden path. You may have to use a shipping agent or look for another supplier that will ship it here.

BunsenBurna Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Quick update FYI...found some good deals on eBay for the Contour GPS...still from the USA. Definitely 'feels' a little dodgier than Amazon but I will let you know how I go.

The pic quality is quite good. Its pretty tiny for one of these style cameras. I fact I will sell the one I have for $40 of anyone wants it. I beefed up the mount a fair bit with an alloy bracket. http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/otek-hd-video-camera-5mp-1/ does 1080p or this one that does 720P and is smaller and lighter http://www.dealsdirect.com.au/p/otek-5mp-high-definition-sport-video-camera/ Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252576-video-cameras-for-motorsport-use/page/17/#findComment-5940581 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I might buy another one with GPS this time. Put the GPS one in the nose and the normal version on my helmet. These are so small its isnt an issue to have a few provided you have the cash.

driftnick13 Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 i bought a Contour HD 1080p about 6 months ago for about $350 with a suction mount great camera minus the audio, wind noise really kills it and in my car it has a horrible buzzing noise so i have to turn the mic sensitivity way down, isn't a issue in my brothers car, think it would be the hatch on my 180sx vibrates a lot compared to the rear window on a silvia bunch of video's on my youtube channel, tho it kinda kills the quality http://www.youtube.com/user/equoowe plan on getting another soon so both my brother and me have camera's in our cars, sucks when i have the camera in my car and he does something good behind me also maybe looking at buying another camera for myself to run on the outside of the car but not sure what if i want to buy another Contour Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/252576-video-cameras-for-motorsport-use/page/17/#findComment-5945113 Share on other sites More sharing options...
