The new ContourHD from Vholdr

Outdoor enthusiasts will now be able to chronicle every detail of their jumps, falls, spills and flops thanks to a new wearable HD video camera from Seattle's Vholdr. The $330 ContourHD -- to be sold at Amazon.com, REI and other retail outlets beginning next month -- includes four HD settings so mountain bikers, snowboarders and other outdoor maniacs can capture their exploits.

The 4.3 ounce video camera includes an easy-to-use record button which the company claims can be turned on even with gloves on -- as well as laser alignment so shots can be perfectly aligned. The camera is designed to mount to helmets, handlebars and goggles.

Once the action is captured, users of the camera can then upload the video to the Vholdr online community. There you can see videos of people hang gliding Yosemite or mountain biking near Aspen.

Vholdr launched its first HD video camera earlier this year, and at the time I wondered if it was the best economic climate to be selling a luxury item like a $300 wearable camera. But CEO Marc Barros says the company is already profitable and plans to begin hiring again.
