- Answer: Designed and tested to the IPX7 standard rating, ContourROAM can withstand continuous immersion in water one meter deep for up to 30 minutes. IPX7 is a technical definition of waterproofness, in everyday terms usage ContourROAM’s low-profile design withstands everyday bad weather and swimming. A waterproof case is available for more extreme water sports such as surfing and scuba diving.
- Question: Is there a waterproof case for ContourROAM, and how waterproof is it?
- Answer:
Yes,
a waterproof case has been specifically designed for ContourROAM. This case
is waterproof to the following ratings:
- IPX6: This means the case can withstand high-pressure water jets. In everyday usage terms this means the case is resistant to water pushing on the housing, such as would be experienced in kayaking, surfing and other active water sports.
- IPX8-60m: This means the case can withstand the pressure of being underwater to a depth of 60m. In everyday usage terms this means the case can be used for recreational SCUBA diving. - Question: How does the Instant On-Record Switch work?
- Answer: ContourROAM has no dedicated Power button. Instead the Instant On-Record Switch powers the camera on and immediately starts recording. This helps to conserve battery power as the camera does not have to be powered on in a ‘standby mode’ to be ready to record. The result is better battery life, and an easy to use camera. Best of all, there’s no guesswork in whether the camera is on or not.
- Question: What is the 270 degree rotation?
- Answer: The lens-ring will rotate from -90 degrees to +180 degrees. This means ContourROAM can be mounted on its side or upside down, greatly increasing the places the camera can be mounted.
- Question: Are there any new features in Storyteller for the ContourROAM?
- Answer:
Yes, ContourROAM generates thumbnails for each video on the microSD card, this speeds up the connection with Storyteller. Storyteller fully supports configuration of ContourROAM.
- Question: How well does the built-in battery perform?
- Answer: By building the battery in, our engineers could maximize battery size, reliability, and waterproofness. Because the camera is not powered on until the Instant On-Record Switch is slid forward, ContourROAM maximizes battery power. Recording at 720p our tests show the camera can record 3.5 hours of video. Length of charge will depend on how you use the camera. Connected to a computer via USB, the battery will reach approximately 80% charge in one hour, and a full charge in 3 to 4 hours.
- Question: How does the Status button work?
- Answer: When you press and release the Status Button, the camera will power on briefly and display its Battery level and available Memory. The Laser Line will also light up. After 15 seconds, the camera will power off again to conserve power.
- Question: What sort of thread does the tripod mount have?
- Answer: The tripod thread mount is a 1/4-20 thread. This is the standard one used on most consumer cameras.
