Go the Drift HD or Drift HD170 Stealth. Fantastic camera with remote, makes the editing easier and like the contour has a rotatable lens. You can also get an aftermarket waterproof bag. I have one and love it, would buy another and highly recommend it.

The Contour with the built in GPS would be awesome, but it doesn't come with a waterproof housing and would be too bulky even if it did.

GoPro has lots of nice accessories that you can play with.

Both cameras are wicked, just gotta choose which one suits your needs best.

Another vote for the Contour here.
I've had my ContourHD with it's waterproof housing for almost two years now and have got some great footage from it. The waterproof housing doesn't really add much to it in terms of size but does add a bit to the cantilever of the camera mount. This has only ever been a problem for me when i've got it attached to the side of my helmet (skiing, snowboarding, etc). When i'm not using the waterproof housing you can forget that it's there and just get on with the fun.

I've used mine on my car with a suction mount, on the side of my harness with the goggle strap mount, on the kite with a dodgy custom mount i made, on the side of my helmets, and even just hand held by strapping it to the top of your arm and doing your best spiderman impersonation to get your wrist out of the way.

Some people love the GoPro's, but i dislike the brick style. Contour for me all the way.

I use the go pro hd helmet hero you cant go wrong with that one

i use them to make a lot of kite movies and all round day today stuff
there is a lot of setting u can pic from
for more info go to there web page
the waterproof case is very strong even when it is on my kite and
i crash it in to the water she still all good to go
i guess it come down to what u would like and how much u have to spend
i cant say much about the contour as i have never use one

Have had a couple of fogging issues with the drift due to charging the battery in very humid climate. The battery is charged in the camera with a USB cable and while that is happening the insides are not sealed. I have used the camera in all weather and wind and am very happy with it's ability to keep water out in use, just the charging issue. I haven't used a waterproof bag as the camera is water proof to half a meter on it's own, would be fine on a kite. I have the stealth but they have just released a newer version which is much smaller. They have also added a second cover on the back to keep it sealed while charging which would fix the fogging problem. They really are a great camera with the LCD screen making menu use straight forward (try the gopro without the manual), instant review of footage and lining the camera up simple.

I don't sell them but sometimes wish I was on commission.

Went for the 1080 Go Pro Helmet - with all associated mounting gear, inc. 4gb card (probably too small but it'll get me going)

$365 delivered.

Will let u know how it goes!!

**** wish i bought a drift... they look slimmer, come with a built in screen, and remote stop start button!
