Boat video camera question
 
So are the Go Pro's the one to get for mounting on a boat?

Yes

Go pro is great but not the only game in town. I just got my new hot off the press Contour + today and it is an awesome little piece of equipment but didn’t come with all of the mounting hardware that Go pro comes with. I love the Go pro but would definitely look at all of your options first. One of the things that I like about this Contour+ is that I can use my smart phone to view what the camera is seeing rather than just turning it on and hoping for the best.

check out some of the comparison videos to see what suits you best.
The top 3 names out there
1. Go Pro
2. Contour
3. Drift

I have several cameras and the one I purchased more than one of is the Contour GPS... AWESOME, more consistent than a GoPro and easier to turn on/off by far.

Rik,Great video thanks for sharing!

That Contour GPS is pretty cool! My question has to do with the audio. Rik's video was cool, but I can't decide if the audio is better or worse than a GoPro. What do you guys think?

I think most all of the audio on these cameras blows.
