ContourGPS Camera Adds Bluetooth
ContourGPS Camera Adds Bluetooth
Contour, formerly known as VholdR, unveiled the new ContourGPS feature and a new Android and Apple iOS-compatible mobile app at the 2011 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The ContourGPS was introduced in September 2010 with the Bluetooth chip already built-in. ContourGPS owners will soon be able to download a free patch to update the cameras firmware to enable the Bluetooth connection.
Weighing 5.2 ounces, the ContourHD can be mounted to a motorcycle helmet to film onboard video in high definition 1080p. Previously, ContourGPS users had to rely on the cameras two built-in lasers to line up a shot. With Bluetooth, the ContourGPS camera transmits live video to smartphones, making it easier for users to set up a shot. Users can also adjust the cameras settings remotely through the mobile app.
As its name implies, the ContourGPS is also equipped with a GPS receiver to track the cameras position, speed and elevation.
Were excited about turning a phone into a live screen for the ContourGPS and delivering the single feature nearly all of our customers have been asking for, says Marc Barros, Contours CEO. ContourGPS was already the first hands-free camera to introduce real-time GPS, bringing a whole new level of video storytelling to our customers around the world. But with the enabling of Bluetooth, ContourGPS becomes the only hands-free video camera with a wireless viewfinder.
