There was a time when it was impossible to record yourself hands free performing action sport activities like snowboarding or mountain biking but now you finally can and more. The first wearable cameras were too big and the video quality they recorded were too grainy and unprofessional to provide any sort of professional video.

The past five years we have seen a huge improvement in the technology used in these small cameras. One camera company called Contour is leading the way in these small wearable point of view cameras, not only do they recording in 1080p high definition but they have also integrated GPS so that you can track your location and more, and its all in the new ContourGPS camera.

The ContourGPS is a sleek lip-stick styled shaped sports camera. Despite its small size, Contour has packed it with latest technology so that you can record in the highest 1080p video quality. In comparison to the previous ContourRoam model, the newer ContourGPS is slightly bigger but still incredibly durable. It also comes with a free lens cap so you can protect your camera lens. The main benefits of this camera is that it is mountable to just about anything, records in 1080p high definition, takes photos, has a GPS, and has better audio capture.

Since the Contour camera is shaped like a barrel, you can mount it to a gun to get a true user point-of-view experience. No other wearable point of view camera is more gun friendly than the Contour line of cameras. You can also mount it to a mountain bike or car. It is even possible to take the Contour GPS in the water because it is 100 percent water resistance. Because of the cameras amazing diversity in all terrains, you can use it in situations where a normal video camera would be too risky or dangerous to use.
