Flat out of holiday gift ideas for the thrill-seeker in your life? Perhaps a helmet camera will let you live vicariously through their adventures -- from a safe distance, of course. It's also a totally subtle way to ensure they stay safe while living an extreme lifestyle.
The Contour+2 is a durable camera that's designed to withstand wear and tear in the most intense conditions. The camera shoots video in 1080p HD, and makes sharing to Facebook, YouTube or Vimeo really simple.
The package comes with a waterproof case and a variety of adhesive mounts, so you can stick the camera to just about any smooth surface.
It also has a GPS receiver that overlays the camera for speed, elevation and distance. You can choose which corner of the interface that these figures overlay, or choose not to include them at all. The data can feed into tracking applications such Strava or Endomondo, too.
