I've got a Contour and have mixed feelings about it. The battery life isn't enough for an all day ride, but is fine for my commute. But it's still a pain to have to plug it in to charge it and delete the old video on a regular basis. I was using it every day for a while and it became part of my daily routine for when I got home.

Also, it is pretty much worthless in very low light conditions. That means there is no point in using it for several months out of the year when both sides of my commute are in darkness.

I mount mine to my helmet so I can make sure I capture something that I think may be important. It's nice to be able to aim it, but it makes the video much shakier, so it's not really any good for entertainment purposes.

It's a mixed bag, but it sure would have been nice to have had a recording and the license plate from when I got right-hooked and broke my wrist a few years ago.
