Another plus for the Contour + is an external mic jack that can be used while the camera is in action, whereas the HD Hero 2's jack becomes inaccessible once it's in its casing and few would use the camera without it. With that in mind the future will see dedicated users with not just one of these cameras, but several to record the action from a variety of angles. Until that time the outstanding video performance props up the still camera and together they achieve a high level of performance.
Though both cameras will perform to similar levels, as a consumer you have to decide which features are most important - if you value built-in GPS, an external mic jack that's more accessible during use and a sexier looking unit, then go with the Contour +. If you are looking for a compact video camera that will shoot 1080p footage with ultra wide coverage, the Hero 2 is pretty much the only one on the market that won't even let you see what you are shooting as standard. The Drift HD170 is another helmet-cam styled model which looks sleeker than the HD Hero 2, and also shoots 1080p video with 170 degree coverage.
So like the Countour + above, you'll need to decide which features are most important to you. The Drift also has a more accessible external microphone jack and a wireless trigger that can activate the device from up to 5m away. If you're looking for an action sports helmet camera GoPro has once again set the standard and raised the bar for all others to chase.
The second unique feature of the Drift HD170 is it's the only model on this page to feature a built-in screen. Note: Due to possible delay of exchange rate update, price in various currencies is for reference only.
The GoPro HD Hero 2 is a weatherproof, shockproof and nearly indestructible camera designed with the extreme sportsperson in mind.
While the new model externally resembles the HD Hero original, there are a number of important physical benefits in its favour. You can look at it as a stand-alone product or compare it to its predecessor the GoPro HD Hero. Then there's the potential of the upcoming Wifi BacPac and smartphone control to look forward to. At the outset of this test I was expecting the performance of this camera would be about the same as the HD Hero and I'd be recommending current GoPro users to either hold onto their units or buy this as a second camera.

With every new model, GoPro’s innovation has surpassed their previous models technology making them more powerful, smaller, lighter, and overall so much better. From an emotional standpoint though, the images that this camera allows you to capture often more than make up for its technical shortfalls.
An underwater housing is available for the Contour +, but the fact is the HD Hero 2 comes with a casing as standard which is good to depths of 60m.

Notice: Please be advised that only post services such as China Post, EMS are permitted to deliver private packages to Russia. Just download it and follow the tutorials below to transfer and import GoPro HD footage to for smoothly editing in iMovie. It's hopeful that future incarnations of the camera will address the low-light noise issues and make it a more well rounded camera. Once again, the HD Hero 2's advantages remain a tough underwater housing supplied as standard, higher resolution stills (11 vs 9 Megapixels), a 120fps slow motion movie mode, and a timelapse mode which can shoot at shorter intervals. If you're looking for a camera to take on holiday or shoot your sister's wedding, this certainly isn't the one for you. With the ability to attach the camera in a multitude of ways and the virtual indestructible nature of the device in its supplied protective housing, the HD Hero 2 is a fun camera to take places you wouldn't dream of taking your SLR or high end compact. At a relatively inexpensive price point this is the sort of camera that you can use and abuse knowing that if it gets trashed you can always pick up another one. Although it's tiny at 1.5in it allows you to review your footage in the field before getting to a computer. This is most useful when wanting to trigger the camera from a safe distance away from the action - say for example you attach it to jump in the park. The HD Hero 2's video quality is impressive and in good light the footage looks outstanding.
The crispness, saturation and noise levels of both video and stills are also much improved over the earlier HD hero.
If the lighting isn't optimal the images are often noise cluttered and sub-par from a purely analytical point of view. Potete inviare le vostre opinioni, dare un voto all'attrezzatura che avete utilizzato, confrontare le caratteristiche dei vari modelli e leggere le recensioni!
As a still camera you can shoot 10fps in a one second burst or record time-lapse over a range of increments. The GoPro has traditionally been the camera to which all wearable sports cameras are compared to and with the improvement in the HD Hero 2 that comparison won't be stopping anytime soon.
The improved graphics and wording on the display also make operation much easier and more intuitive, and the addition of three more lamps around the shell ensure you'll know if the unit is recording regardless of where and how it's mounted. Sure the image quality from even a point-and-shoot compact may be superior - but you can't strap one of those to your chest the next time you go whitewater rafting and expect it to still work afterwards. The video side of the camera has been upgraded to capture 1080p footage with ultra-wide 170 degree coverage, while still photos have more than doubled in resolution from 5 to 11 Megapixels.
As a stand-alone camera it excels at the tight niche it works within, but there are key downsides to be aware of.
It's also the only model here to feature a standard quarter-inch tripod thread, which some may find more useful for mounting. After going through all of the test footage though, even using the original HD Hero as a second 'B-roll' camera may not be an option as the colors and sharpness are so superior on the new model, the footage simply won't match. The image and video quality is also much improved in terms of saturation and noise levels, and the response to varying lighting much quicker.
You may lose the analogue component video output, but gain an HDMI port in addition to a 3.5mm external microphone jack, although the latter is of limited use, given it's inaccessible with the protective housing fitted.
If you are a dedicated action sports film maker and are looking for top quality imagery the new Hero 2 outshines its predecessor to the point that it's a worthy upgrade. The Contour + also features built-in Bluetooth which lets you view your composition or replay footage via a compatible smartphone (although frustratingly Apple iOS owners will also need an additional communication card - check as some stores sell it with this card). Most notable is built-in GPS that allows you to geotag your footage so you can see what mountain bike trail you were storming down.
This isn't a small incremental improvement in the GoPro line, the HD Hero 2 is a significant improvement in an already successful and capable camera. GoPro cameras are used by more action sport athletes, race teams and core enthusiasts than any other camera in the world. It's also an ideal 'B' camera to supplement footage filmed with your DSLR or camcorder under tougher conditions. The new sensor and lens have seen the still photo resolution more than doubled from 5 to 11 Megapixels and 1080p video now supported with a 170 degree field of view; there's also a new 120fps WVGA option for those who like slow motion.

As a video camera it can shoot in full HD, record passable sound, capture 120fps slow motion at WVGA and with a 170deg field-of-view, filming yourself or taking in all the action is both easy and straightforward. Meanwhile, the Mac Video Conversion tool can create files compatible with various non-linear editing systems like Avid, FCE, FCP X, and Adobe Premiere (Pro) etc. The Contour + is a traditional helmet-cam shaped camera , so looks much sleeker than the boxy HD Hero. However, if you are looking for a video camera that you can take skiing, mountain biking, surfing and skateboarding and not only survive but bring back some great footage this is the best camera on the market. Existing GoPro fans will find the transition to the Hero 2 an easy one and new users will find the intuitive controls quick to master.
With the new Wi-Fi back on the near horizon and the option to live view, replay and stream to the web (only on the Hero 2 and not any of the previous models) - this new model is well worth upgrading into. This is a handy feature when mounted to a helmet and you want to adjust the view upwards or downwards to better take in the action. But again if you want something that's tougher and more waterproof as standard, not to mention shoots slow motion video and higher resolution stills, then the HD Hero 2 is again hard to beat. To confirm good quality output the GoPro Hero requires MP4 as its output format and files are compressed using the h.264 codec.
From the outside the two units are nearly identical and you can swap accessories freely between them (excluding some features on the new Wi-Fi back).
Two things really set the Drift HD170 apart from its rivals though: the first is a lens that can be turned on the unit to adjust the point of view. The GoPro HD captures professional quality video at 1080p-30, 720p-60, 960p-48 and WVGA-120 resolutions and frame rates. The HD Hero 2 has a range of features that will appeal to both traditional photographers and adventurers looking to capture their exploits. Since MP4 is created by Microsoft and it isn’t compatible with most Mac software program, and iMovie is one particular.
Where the Contour takes the lead over the HD Hero 2 is with some clever built-in features that GoPro is still missing. If you want something that's tougher and more waterproof as standard, not to mention shoots slow motion video and higher resolution stills, then the HD Hero 2 is hard to beat.
