VholdR, the leader for shoot and share wearable video cameras, is introducing ContourHD: The World’s First (and lightest) HD Wearable Camcorder. Now shipping world-wide, ContourHD is the only camcorder Dad will want to wear on the family trips this winter season. The only wearable HD video camera (attach ContourHD to your goggles, helmet, equipment, or vehicle), ContourHD makes it simple to shoot (one button simplicity to record), and even easier to share with your friends online (click to share video software included). This rugged, hands-free video camera will enable millions of dads to put down the traditional camcorder and join the family action, while capturing the entire experience on video.
“ContourHD is the modern family camcorder,” says Marc Barros, VholdR’s CEO. “It enables Dad to ski with the family, capture the entire experience in beautiful HD video, and share it online in seconds.”
Perfected for the outdoor dad, ContourHD is compact (small enough to wear on your goggles); light but armored (weighing 4.3 ounces); and simple to use (single button to record). ContourHD captures the action in crisp High Definition quality video or smooth Standard Definition quality video (captured at 60 frames per second). Its all-in-one design means ContourHD has no wires or separate recorder, but instead captures up to 8 hours of High Definition video to its own internal microSD memory card (compatible with up to a 16GB card).
Plug ContourHD into any computer (USB cable included), use the ContourShare software (Mac/PC compatible) to highlight your favorite parts, and with a single click post your family adventures online. Now every family can capture their vacations from inside the action and share them online in seconds.
