1080p HD POV? OMG!

Sky-diving, snowboarding, dirt-biking, etc. There are all kinds of ridiculous activities humans can do against their own better judgment. However, if you are attempting the insane, you might as well capture the experience so you can re-live it while recovering. There is a select collection of wearable camcorders available today that are mountable to goggles, bikes, or whatever you need to record your point-of-view during an extreme endeavor. Today, wearable camcorder company VholdR launched the 1080p version of their popular ContourHD line, the ContourHD1080p, the first wearable camcorder to record in full HD video.

We all grew up watching television and video in standard definition. The world has since transitioned to High-Definition (HD). HD images hold more information than a standard-definition image. This means that HD can be up to six times clearer than what you grew up with. Most wearable camcorders record in standard definition. The few wearable HD camcorders available record at 720p resolution (1280x720 = 921,600 pixels). While 720p is great resolution, truly superior to a standard-def image, the latest HDTVs, monitors, and projectors are capable of even higher resolution: 1080p (1920×1080 = 2,073,600 pixels). VholdR’s ContourHD1080p is a professional grade wearable camcorder that allows for the ultimate video capture in 1080p with the single touch of a button.  Along with high-resolution recording, the ContourHD1080p allows you to configure your metering, contrast, exposure and microphone sensitivity to get the shot you want before you head down the mountain or hit the gas pedal.

At this time most video sharing websites are only able to share 720p video. That’s why the VholdR.com video sharing site has been enhanced to accept 1080p video -- so you can show off your point-of-view from recent exploits online, as well as through a direct connection.

Now with a ContourHD1080p I get to pseudo-experience what it is like to go down a double black diamond, or jump off a cliff. And this way, there’s no screaming or crying in terror.

I love the 720p, and with the release of the 1080p Twenty20 will surely take the competition right off it's feet! By far this is the best POV camera available on the market.

I am still waiting for the technology seen in movie "Brainstorm".

A bit of a wait I imagine. This is a start.

They need a camera on each side of the head - full HD 3D recording. Now THAT's rad.

You may have not intended to do so, but I think you have managed to express the state of mind that a lot of people are in. cheap air jordan 22 shoes http://www.nikejordanshoes2sell.com/ The sense of wanting to help, but not knowing how or where, is something a lot of us are going through.
