Sorry if its been said on this thread already (I dont have time to read all 14 pages). I've stopped usijg my Muvi now, its not weather proof, has very few proper mounting options and is becomming really unreliable (lights all flash but the footage is corrupt when I get home).
I use (d) it as a black box recorder, not a Vlog tool and so being able to rely on the capture of footage is paramount.
If I buy another action-cam it will be an gopro HD hero (nothing seems to compare for image quality at this price range) which I could ride with and use for a selection of other recreational pursuits

Can you test the 960p mode?please!
Far from ideal conditions but here is a brief clip. Looks good but take a look at the tree at the end. Same green blurring that was eventually fixed for the gps version.
960p clip
Disappointing that it is still in the Contour+ but I'm confident that if it is more than just my camera, it will get sorted out. In all other respects, it is a good product.

Anyone got experience of CamSports HDS-720p.
I'm looking for a light, compact headcam. I like the spec and reviews of the Contour family but aren't they heavy and bulky?

OK, I've definitely decided to ditch my helmet. Please don't turn this into a helmet debate.
What I think I'll do is mount my Contour on the handlebars, and try and find a bullet style cam that's small and light enough to be mounted on the arm of my sunglasses.
Does anyone know (Gaz?) roughly how much the Bullet HD Wide weighs? If it makes the glasses lopsided, I'll need to add some ballast on the other arm I suppose, but I don't want them to end up too heavy.

Best to email dogcamsport, their customer service is very good.
The Contour's are very light and compact.

Very cool, Mission Impossible style.
1.5 - 2 hour battery is impressive in such a small package.
I have got rather an expensive set of photochromic glasses though, so would be loath to retire them.
This one looks very compact.
Cheers, they have a handy live chat on their site. One of their guys went and weighed one. 35g.
