Contour ROAM 2 review

 

The ROAM 2 is visually similar to the aforementioned ROAM and its grandaddy, the Contour+ — it's a bullet-shaped design, with an ABC plastic chassis surrounded by brushed aluminium.

As an all-weather, easy-to-use action camera, the Contour ROAM 2 is a great little piece of technology. It’s got some useful enhancements from the original ROAM, and is far cheaper than the high-end Contour+2. It captures good, but not great, video and...

Contour ROAM 2 action camera

 

This tough little video recorder is a good low-budget option

Wide field of view in 720p ; 60fps recording option ; Rugged construction

Widest edges of video aren’t sharp ; Internal mic could be better ; Battery not removable

Contour Roam2 Review

 

For basic POV filming the ROAM2 passes the test, although there isn't any standout feature to set it apart from the rapidly expanding choices for compact, mountable video cameras.

Contour ContourRoam2 review

 

The ContourRoam2 is what happens when you take a really good action cam -- the Contour+ 2 -- and strip away almost all extra features, taking it down to just the essentials.

A very simple POV action cam, the Contour ContourRoam2 produces nice video; is waterproof without requiring a housing; includes a 4GB microSDHC card; and has a threaded tripod mount for more mounting options.

All changes to settings -- including shooting modes -- are done with desktop software, and the ContourRoam2 can't record 1080p video at a 170-degree angle of view. The rechargeable battery can't be removed or replaced by a user.

As long as you don't need to change shooting modes on the go, the ContourRoam2 is a simple way to capture fine-quality POV videos in dry or wet conditions.

Dead Camera

 

I purchased the Contour ROAM2, which is a great camera for the price a friend of mine has 2 which I have had some time with. When I got the camera (blue) it was inoperable. However I was able to ship it to the Manufacturer and get a brand new camera.

It do what it says it do

 

For the price, this cam can't be beat. I have it mounted to my softball pitcher's helmet and the quality is very good. I have tried others and they work well too, but this on is waterproof and I don't need a bulky case to house it.
