Just ordered a ContourRoam POV camera.

I just ordered a ContourRoam POV camera, and 16gig card. Anyone have one and can give me advice on how to mount it for POV when I'm shooting stages. Any other hints and tip appreciated.

which model did you get?

 

[Vigilante Sniper]

The 1080P ContourRoam for $196, not the $499 one.

What are you going to be mounting the cam on?
Contour has a plethora of mounts for helmets, hats, googles, etc.

Contour has very good CS.

I mounted mine to the strap on top of my muffs. A lot of people are mounting them to the side of their muffs but I like the view better from the top. Spanky's is about the best location for filming (mounted to the brim of his hat) but he looks like a douche bag with a camera screwed to his hat. I used the largest mounting bracket and drilled four holes in it to zip tie it to the muffs. I found that the curvature of the muff strap caused the mount to bend a little and not hold the camera very well. I placed one of the foam sticky pads down in the mount and then attached the camera. Now it holds very securely and doesn't move.

Thanks Jeff, I'm looking for ways to mount it, I'll probably try different scenario's and see what fits me best, but I like Spanky's.

Isn't the camera going to be in your way if you mount it under the brim of your hat??

You wear earmuffs and a ball cap when you make pornos? I'll have to start trying that.

Are you on Arfcom as well? Seems I remember someone with your username posting pics of yourself with some girl in a bar in the quarter? You have red hair?
