About contourconfig

Contour cameras are the only hands-free cameras in the world you can configure. With a slide switch you can adjust the sensitivity of the camera's microphone to adapt to high or low wind scenes. It gives you the controls to dial in the metering, sharpness, and exposure to handle any conditions you face. Contour cameras carry multiple HD resolutions and even a photo mode in the ContourGPS model.
