Yep can't beat the Amazon price anyway...gotta throw in the suction cup adapter thingy too...

Come on tax return!!!

OK what am I missing? Amazon says it wont ship the contour gps to either my home or office address in sydney..what the?

[Tektrader69]

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]

With a close to $200 saving to be had, I'm going to check out something like www.priceusa.com.au

Will let you know how I go!

[BunsenBurna]

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.

So if you are on a tight budget, what is a good buy that is at least as good as a POV...nice if its HD, but price is the driver here

Flip HD and a suction cup about $230

Contour HD GPS with suction cup attachment delivered to Australia for $318. And delivery was $58!

At least it will be delivered when it gets here!

I was using one of these. 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.

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.

Has anyone had a problem with their Radcam where the light strobes bright then dim, bright then dim etc, but the unit wont power on? In a bind and hoping its something simple

[driftnick13]

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

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

probably just needs a little tap with a sledge hammer to re-align the molecules....

[Roy]

I have Ben, but driving Zandvoort on thursday and dont like the idea of driving around today to buy a new camera ... sux that I have got the bad luck with everyone elses working perfectly.

[Marlin]

You of all people deserve a good one mate, coz we all live through you!

[Roy]

LOL, just one of those things. I have found a place 35kms from Zandvoort that sell GoPro HDs so will swing by and grab one in the morning...fark missing footage of Zandvoort. No footage from Stelvio etc as the camera went on the blink on the way up LAst year at Spa and Ring...lol has not been a happy relationship

[Marlin]

Sounds like it hates Europe!?!?
