Thanks typeone. That's great deal, I ordered one.

no sweat. i already have the ContourHD (and like it a lot) but that deal was too good to pass up. all my mounts work with the ROAM too so it was a no brainer... mine arrives tomorrow

mainly wanted the ROAM for the 5MP still photo capability, cool way to capture rides.

Got excited to receive the camera for the next ride.

Just ordered mine, thanks for the heads up. I love my 1080 hd, I'll use this on the wet days my hd would stay home.......

JEEZ thats an amazing deal. I might have to order one just because. My current HD vholder is holding up awesome but hey...

Is the profile mount all you need to attach the cam to your helmet?

 

[typeone]

ray_ray, the profile mount would work, yes. i like the goggle strap mount, nothing to stick in place.

Cool and the camera appears to need some funky looking memory chip?

 

[typeone]

not funky, just tiny it takes a MicroSD card. they're available pretty much everywhere these days. Staples, BestBuy or anywhere online... usually cheap too. i only have an 8GB card and it still captures quite a bit of footage in HD.

Thanks and this looks a good trade for good ol' usa currency ...

I also picked up a 16gb Sandisk microSD on ebay for $16 with free shipping.

 

[ray_ray]

I ordered one ... Not sure when it'll arrive here as I sent it to a friend in the states ... He'll either bring it over in MAR or maybe he'll mail it to me before then ....

 

[typeone]

my ROAM arrived before noon doing a little time lapse sunset test with it now... i'll post up if successful.

 

[typeone]

quick test, i'm gonna like this new gadget...

So cool! Can I ask a dumb dumb question? I've thinking on getting one for dirt biking and MTN biking. So, do ya record vid on a SD, then transfer it to your computer, then what? How do you get vid here or to your friends?

Thanks.

 

[typeone]

the sale ended unfortunately, just a heads up... but to your question, yes, you record vid on the card, plug in your computer then use the included software (Storyteller) to edit and upload.

you can also use other video editing software if you want.

 

[JasonfromMN]

Must be expired. Code would not work. Bummer.

Edit: just saw your post- thanks.

 

[ray_ray]

That web page is a little weird as sometimes it would say the code was not accepted but when the final cost was shown, the price was the $89 price so be sure to drive past the code entry pay page and verify the price ...

easiest thing is to plug camera into computer with cord they give you. Once its on your pc youll need some kind of video editing software to break them down to smaller chunks you like or whatever. Then establish an account at vholder or smug mug/youtube etc so you can upload it. Once its uploaded somewhere you just post that link or send it to friends.
I have found one of the toughest things about all this process......is rewatching all the video and trying to determine whats the "cool" stuff or not. Its very time consuming sometimes.
